Wide Tyres Better?
Hi, I have a kit car weighing 720kg, with a 50/50 bias as recorded at SVA. It currently has 16" rims with 195 wide tyres. These tyres look very thin. The car is a mid engined RWD, with a similar power to weight as the Lotus Exige S1. My question is "how wide should I go with the tyres?" Copy...- jannerboy

Threads into Carbon?
Hi, Could I drill and tap into Carbon MY10A. I'm trying to ascertain whether this material could be threaded or whether I should use inserts? If inserts are required, anyone got some details of the type to use? Many thanks, John- jannerboy
