Interesting! I'm sure the Disco mob will put right on this one, meanwhile what are those Insa Turbos like on the road - I heard they rumble and whine a lot. Am I right?

Also, what's the wear like?

Don't hold me to it but im sure 235 70's are about the biggest you can go on a disco without jacking it up.

Im sure someone will be along shortly to correct me.....Laughing

A Td5 tractor unit??? When there's all those V8's out there just crying out for a good home? How cruel and insensitive can you get - have you no heart man? Mad

I can personally guarantee that Kieran would be able to look after your pretty 90 for you. As to what state it would be in after just one session is a different matter entirely?!

Ahhh, you mean the magic 'bio fuel'.

In Andorra I'm gonna buy a crate of Cannabis Absinthe and try that. Gotta be cheaper and smell quite sweet in the process. If nothing else, it will send those police drugs dogs at Dover barmy! Laughing

PostSubject: tyers   big wheels Icon_minitimeFri Aug 08, 2008 6:14 am

yeah to be honest tom they are quite good really for the pricei paid four tyers for £200 off ebay brand new.

They are not that noisy however my disco is quite loud so the noise they make i dont know.

The sproblem with them is that they dont slef clean very well they get very clogged up with mud.

My disco has a 2 inch lift so i may try larger tyers at some point when i have the money and am allowed to

Reckon my TD5 would show your V8 the way forward Tom... Granted not standard, but will pull a house down with torque and doesnt half shift!
