Re: Largest tyres for rear on Fastback?

Firestone - overpriced old design. I'm using Toyo 135r £30 each with a better newer design, Toyo on the rear too.

Re: In Car Audio in an early Type3? Anyone done a hidden set

Don't have an ipoo yet :D

I can put an amp in the bonnet, but I need the speakers placing some where without cutting metal,.... If I could find someone with the old moulds I could take a mould from that,...Under tray is bamboo so no good.

In Car Audio in an early Type3? Anyone done a hidden setup?

Speaker pods in the front wings? A guy in Hull used to make them, Flatfourplay was his name I think??

Stereo in the glove box?

Help me build a tidy hidden system please :D

Largest tyres for rear on Fastback?

I'm running 165r15 but I'd like either a wider tyre or a slightly taller tyre

Anyone running 195/70/15 or 185/80/15 or 175/80/15????

Thanks
