They are Cooper Discoverer AT3's 265/60/18 tyres. We were going to fit Manta's but I'd seen a few Over Land's fitted with the Gloss Black Boosts and really like the look. |

Regarding the remap that's currently on your 2.4 90, It's not from anyone known on this forum, I can promise you.
I think you need one of our steering guards to go with a nice black Intercooler, and maybe something else from the Alive stables.  |

Hi Folks, CP - Catherine F's OH here, you can tell who has the spare time - Haha!!
In answer to Ven's question - am I happy with it? on the strength of the photos, HELL YEAH!!!!! looking forward to getting her home, and undoubtedly spending more money on her!!! Replacement seats are on the agenda, but we'll have to try a few before we make a decision. I'd also like a momo, and once I know what the speakers are, I might upgrade them as well. I spy with my little eye, something beginning with Money Pit!!! but damn she looks good.... |

Had an email from SMC and the car had only just come off the ramp and the suspension hadn't settled down as yet.
Really excited about going to collect it! |

Hmmm.... is it just me, but does that sound a little iffy.... coil suspension hardly needs to "settle", as there's no friction in the coil spring... it sits where it sits.
The only thing that could make the vehicle sit (only slightly) high is if they tightened the radius arms bolts with the axles hanging off of the dampers.... then you'd have ripped rubbers when the axles did finally get articulated. |

Not too concerned. I've had this happen in the past with cars when wheels have been off for a tyre change.
The metallic red one behind has also got a reduced ride height which probably doesn't help. It's having another day in the workshop today, then off to have it's rust prevention. So we are now looking realistically at next Tuesday by the time it's finished. Andrew is going to send me some pics of the 16" Boost wheels so I can get them up onto ebay as soon as possible to pay for some new and additional goodies for it. |

Great looking truck
We've heard great things about SMC and have supplied leather interior parts to several of their customers  |

Hi Matt,
I'll be chatting to you about Leather Dash parts in the new year. Seats I'm undecided still on. I do quite like the LR Premium Seats. |
