Judging by the damage to my old old wheels, you must of been doing at least 50.

I went down the same road as i a crashed the other day and i was doing at least 60 when i lost traction :shock:

definetly wasnt 50.

i was taking a corner in 2nd gear and it was a bit wet, which i how i lost control. My car can do just over 40mph in 2nd gear. Im pretty sure i wasnt going that quick :?

I thought i was going about 40 mate. Then when i went down the same road it really opened my eyes

Lesson learnt i suppose

After 1k damage my gearbox went 4 days after :shock:

Don't change the tyre widths, just get a rear uprated ARB. That'll stop you whipping out on corners.
