WhyIoughta...
Btw I really like those wheels. I was talking to the NZ guy who suggested I look at their BBS clones a while ago but I like yours better. Wonder how wide they go up to in those?

Hmmm well I know they go to 10" wide... not sure how much wider. It fits the Supra perfectly. Will post pics soon, maybe 2 weeks and it should be complete.

haha the ref had an awesome game! Really though it was yours to lose, your wingers let you down, had a few opportunities, we got lucky.

I got the tilton, then thought the sintered disks may be too much. So I got a new QM 7.25 ceramic metallic rally clutch, it should hold twice the torque where it failed... must be the bearing spacing or the step up on the flywheel not giving enough clamping force. Very annoying either way!

Yea I know what you mean. Having to take it all apart again to figure it out sucks especially for the clutch since its so much work
