Re: bt-50 body lift

just a query, what size tyres were you hoping on fitting? would 33's fit with only suspension lift, say blocks in the rear and wind up the torsions. just anything larger i can see problems with front cv's.

I know in WA it's against the law to carry out any puncture repair to the side wall, you can only repair if its an inch into the tread. This doesnt say people dont do repairs out side this law, I just know if you came to me I would sell you a new tyre or send you on your way.

adding more boost will increase the air that goes into the engine but you need to adjust the injector pump to supply more fuel to match the amount of air
