sorry to divert but this has sparked a question

why do a lot of cars mini tub, or whatever, i.e. go to shiet loads of effort to widen tyres inward, when its so easy to flare the gaurds get a wider diff and have the tyres sitting outside the car a couple of extra inches, to me this seems logical and a lot easier, the extra stance cant hurt either??????????

i mean you can fit 195 on the back of a stock 1200, so with an extra 2 inch of flares (which is quite small really) theoretically 225 will fit and with an lsd or locked diff surely this is gonna be enough

are people buying good tyres??

A much lower cost option for traction is to add a little balast. Try adding some snndbags or something else that you can weigh, & adjust, that wont hurt the back of your car & give it a try. If you can get the traction that you want, then think about a checkerplate floor. The plate thickness controlls the weight. Think about real soft compound tyres too. Same goal, diferent path to get there.

I am thinking about getting another car and not driving the ute everyday so that it won't really be a street car anymore. I have the white one. What colour is the 1000 ute? I think that it is my old one if it was orange. I spoke to Peter at widowmaker and i have already seen it. Just a bit overboard for what I want!!!

I was wondering if any one knows where i can get a set of tubs for my ute. I am thinking about doing the rear end up a bit. I am sick of not having traction.
