Hey Rob, "Speaking of Simmons", i've got myself a brand spankers set of B45's on my UC now, 16" by 7" by way of throwing caution in the wind on an un-flared UC! Otherwise i would have chosen 17" by 8". They are a great looking wheel you've got, was it hard to get a tyre to keep near to the legal side of things for overall diameter?

I've got a 304 Injected V8 conversion happening in January, of which i can hardly wait to do, but was wondering on your opinion of gearbox. I noticed your running a Tremec, how does it handle a bit of power, as i will be working the V8 before it goes in? I'm keen on a manual box, but all i can seem to find are smashed auto commodores at the moment. What do you think? Opinion greatly valued!

Cheers
Keith

Great SLR 5000 there! I dont believe i've seen a royal plum SLR in such great condition! Well worth the 3years it took to build the old girl eh!

I'm with Litre8 regarding your hardware and mods - not excessive, and does not stray from the heritage of the SLR 5000.

A job well done!
Keith
