    Re: andypipe's - MK1 Escort - xflow

    thers no doubt in my mind that andys car would be even faster if arched, you've only got to look at the corner speed bill richards can carry in a tiny mini that mini is miles lighter than most cars out there and yet has MORE rubber than most cars, even richard brent was saying that he could do with more rubber to beat the turn in that bill has.

    but its one hell of a cost, its not just the cost of arching the car its the cost of a couple of sets of new wheels and tyres all at once

      If i had the money then i would arch it, then as Graham says more wheels and tyres and the probably would need an Atlas as well.
