The new wheels suit the car better, I think the rubber size is the problem.
Oh :eek:
What rubber size should I have on a 15" alloy?

Er
Guys?
Not much info rev throttle body removal fitting - eeek!

Anyone got steps to how remove/refit???

On my Corrado, we:
1. Disconnect battery
2. Remove coolant lid
3. Remove air filter
4. Remove MAF
5. Remove inlet flow tube to Throttle Body
6. Any other tubes (including coolant overflow tube to air inlet?)
7. Remove Throttle Body (spray / clean with brake cleaner)
8. Reconnect everything (except coolant lid)
9. Start engine until fan kicks in to remove air from coolant - then put lid back on


Obviously the Prelude would vary differently - anyone can advise / did it before?

Checked my other thread:
http://www.ludegeneration.co.uk/chassis ... 01-30.html

My 15" are 195/50 R15
So my wheels are about 13mm smaller than stock?

Bad?
Ok?
Illegal?
At speed camera s of 30 limit - should i be driving at 25mph or safe to drive at 35mph?

£1, I'll come and collect this eve :twisted:

I'd check ebay mate to see the going rate for a car of similar spec/condition, although I know it can be hard to do so with older cars like this as there's not many examples. Another consideration is where you're advertising and how quick you want it gone.
