Possibly a 5mm but I think a 10mm on the front would be too much. Think the rear needs 5s just for stance reasons.
Had it out for a couple of hours today and had no issues so hopefully all will be ok

Got out for a run today, I'm more than happy with the new wheels and tyres, it's also the first proper run out with the DS2500 pads, the decat and having an EGT sensor back. Nothing untoward to report (except a slightly dislodged under tray) just plenty of smiles per gallon 
remap next please! It's time to see what this hybrid k04 is capable of.

Finally an update worth mentioning.
After about a year of pain trying to get things sorted on this and it never really running properly on the hybrid turbo at the start of September it was given some fresh oil and plugs and sent off to Big Fish Tuning to work his magic. And magic is exactly what was worked:
So on the Beach Buggy Turbo K418T it is now running 366bhp 361ft/lb of torque and I couldn't be happier with it. You can see from the graph its all in the mid range which makes it all very useable but when you go to the redline and dip the clutch it gives a very satisfying pop which makes it all the more worthwhile to go up there before changing. It's literally at the edge of traction, you get a squirm from the front end as it tries to get the power down and when it's down, it goes! it's strong on boost and due to the way it's mapped it's just useable everywhere, whilst still being civilised at 30mph although it doesn't take much for it to take off. For a FWD car, I think it's pretty much at the point of adding anymore power/torque and it'll be useless, just lost in wheel spin.
I've got to say the car is totally transformed and the love is back big time for this now, everything on it now seems to just work together so well. I'm even thinking about what to do next but for now whilst I'm studying it's just going to get driven
I can't recommend big fish tuning more!

I say it over and over mate this is one car that I am very envious of and it truly is an inspiration to my own build. It's exactly what these cars are supposed to be, purposeful and used as such. Hats off to you Richard she does you proud.
Stage 2 mk1 LCR 291bhp AmD tuned.

Cheers mate, appreciate it. I'm pleased it's back to running at its best! It's truly awesome at the minute
cheers mate, it is so much fun to drive.

Here's a marmite update for everyone. Ronals needed refurbished after going through the gravel at croft so decided to put some winter tyres on and get them sorted. So here they are, winter mode has been activated, I give you my purple ronnies: 
I think we can all agree they'll brighten up my winter! Haha

Cheers both 
They're definitely growing on me, looking forward to the new centre caps turning up

Howdy t0m, it's not often we chat on here anymore. I'm definitely enjoying the car again and trying to stop myself ploughing more money into it (brakes and seats). John at BFT has dones such a mega job on the car.
It's actually going back next week. I received a text from him saying he now has launch control working on my software and offered it free of charge. Whether I use it or not is another thing but I'm never one to turn down a freebie
I'm hoping to get some rolling shots of it at some point to.
