Took the Gypsy home for a test-drive this evening. Allan had installed his own alloys and 31" cooper tires to give me a chance to feel how the car would perform with these oversize tires.

First some pictures:

Fantastic outcome seriously! Awesome GS!
@Allan: Great job buddy, as always!
Cheers,
Deepak

Looks Mean GS and Absolutely amazing job Allan. You are the best.

GS - Some review of the same also would be good mate.

Really good looking! But these oversize tyres are a overkill for the articulation and that engine

Yup! totally agree on Jaggu Bhai's comment.

Its uses a puny 1.3 litre hatch engine. rethink on tire if you want it to perform well. Keep it if its just a road car.

gsferrari · 4th December 2010, 08:31

Yeah yeah we all know that. I'm waiting for my 235 GT Savero tires but until then I am going to get as much attention as I can

Loving it...

Definitely slower acceleration and limited top speed because the engine just can't spin up these tires. But it is good for "cruising" around town and giving everyone something to look at.

Thats a clean-mean job from Allan. Awesome skills.
Congrats GS. Surely a head turner!

xtreme power · 4th December 2010, 15:07

the gt's are what we are looking for
tilll then enjoy the fun,
anyone who knows where they are available please om me or gs.

but yes,
the plan is to stick to 235's and use offset rims
some more pictures to be up by afternoon

some more pictures of gurus car

Jaggu · 7th December 2010, 19:35

Allen superb outcome as usual. Let me download the image and start sharing to confuse me more

Hope you dont mind Guru.

gsferrari · 7th December 2010, 22:55

Golly is that my car?!?!?!?

starter · 7th December 2010, 22:55

Allan, awesome job, as always!
It ain't something you wouldn't know, but just a suggestion.
Could we not have that checkered aluminium plate at the rear also painted black? It would go better with the overall black n white combination of the car. Do you agree? Or maybe its just my eyes

But seriously, you are gifted! Fantastic outcome!

Cheers,
Deepak

The HT really spoils it for me. Just feels so out of place. BUT, when I keep that aside, it really screams trouble. If I see that in my mirror - I'll get out of the way, pronto. Great, clean work again.
