dont the fronts look tiny compared to the rears, you need to hack that front arch and get some rears on the front

put some rollers under the sills and fit some caterpillar tracks, that would be great for the one days snow we have per year hehe

Just as soon as i get some rubber for them. Kind of a bit stuck at the moment as the combination of rim sizes is stuck between Michelin PS2 on the front and PS1's on the rear. So i am waiting for them to bring out the PS2 in 345/30R19. Rumour has it late Feb but that turned to late march so who knows.

so sorry folks they wont be fitted in time for luton. That's if i can find someone to insure me by then also.

Dave do know someone with six run flats to fit if thats any use, he may have sold them but they are not the most common of sizes or fitments.

If you do then let me know and I'll PM his email address.

Cheers Paul but unless he is practically giving them away because they are barely legal or something I’ll probably wait a bit longer. I still have stacks of tread on the 17’s at the moment also so want to try and use a bit of that up. I’m also having a bit of a modifications crisis after the debacle I have just been through trying to renew my insurance and therefore may undo some things back to stock etc. I seem to have tripped over a threshold of mods and the insurance companies seem to be generally useless at the moment with quotes going from £600 - £1600 over night or the policy particulars turning up only to find they haven’t listed half of it and what they have is nothing like what I asked for, call them back to correct it and get told to sod off.

At least it is now insured (hopefully) even if I have been well and truly raped on the price.

Hi Dave,

I insured my Z06 TT with A-Plan this year on a limited 6,000 miles per year and it was only £400 per year, can't believe your Viper would be any more than that. A-Plan advertise on PH so try them and see.

Tried them, didn't get past air filters on the mods list. I do think it all depends on who you talk to though.

Baz Headly gave a quote but with so many strings attached i couldn't get it out of the garage and by the time i would have complied with their requirements it wouldn't end up any cheaper.

It seems to be when you go over three mods the choice plummets and people like the RAC were happy to quote a good price but neglected to tell me they didn't note down half of what i told them, when the proposal came through and i corrected it they declined, leaving me little time to find someone else.

Ran out of time in the end and just renewed with my current insurer despite the price hike after full disclosure.I may revisit the subject in a few months as renewing just before the end of the financial year may not be helping either.

Yeah

I wonder how long before we get them though, only got the email from Michelin on Tuesday saying late this year. Perhaps I should phone Jon B on Monday for the lug nuts, don’t know if I really want to fly some more tires over just yet.
