Check these guys out:

http://www.maxsport-competition-tyres.co.uk/

They appear to have 13" stuff in both their rally (gravel and tarmac) and grasstrack (there's a grasstrack Hakka II + that looks like it might be a decent mud tire). If their 13 inchers are made on smaller carcasses it might be an option -- I'll warn you that shipping is a little spendy on bulky items like tires though.

So what did you do to your car today?

Looked at the fuel cell fill fiasco in the back of my Ford 4x4 thing with Robert "Rallymech" and discussed how we're going to convince Tom Buress that moving his fuel cell to between the rear shock towers will hugely MASSIVELY simplify things in service or gas stops and in terms of installation of cell and pumps in the spare tire well.

Now if only the Professionals at RallyAmerica had the fawkin foresight to include in their rules a selection of photos of approved---as in shit that they've passed at log book or scrutineering---so us out in the field might have samples of what is approved.....

Anyway what have I been doing in the last couple of weeks on_____________'s rallycar?

Well Erik Christiansen in LA got these for his Golf:


Colin Bombara got these for his Subaru:




Kevin Turner in New Jersey got these for his Subaru:




Ian Topping in Michigan got this for his Volvo 240:



and as soon as the disc arrives is getting this:



Partick Darrow in Portland got these for his Volvo 240:



Elijah Rosov in Phoenix got these for his Volvo 940:



Shawn Mangan in Norfolk just got these sent yesterday for his Xratty:



And Tom Buress got some VW struts and Rob McFayden in Virginia will be getting VW struts as soon as William "Steel Solutions" brings me some ears.

And Mark Bowers will begetting these which are on the way already to Virginia and anew happy life under his Misterbitchi Startion:



Aside from that ain't been doing much.

I presented the charming and enchanting Cristy her "NEW" 1981 VW Rabbit. It now has a fresh new sporty engine, short shifted 5 speed transmission, poly bushed, Bilstein shod and freshly aligned. Waiting for the new windshield and paint.
Happy Birthday!! The DEVIL BUNNY rides again.
