What do you think is going to happen if you hit this pothole at 30mph?

That is awful... Sorry to hear and see your news...

I'd get another photo of that pothole - this time with a ruler in the shot to illustrate how many inches / centimeters deep it drops...

Ohhh....I'd buy yourself some nice aftermarket wheels and sell me the remainder of your V6 sport wheels, which I am absoloutely desperate to pick up to put on my early Evo :D :D :D No? Awh, ok.

I think thats fair :) The only problem Steve is that you will be replacing the wheels every 6 months as well :)

i doubt it, the evo is probably 1/2 ton lighter than the lump of pig iron that is the galant.
i mean my mates t5 volvo is 1/4 ton lighter than the galant, and his has leather :o

[bradc]

thats a rather negative thing to say!

The fwd galant's are only 1300kg or so anyway, the evo 1-3's are about 1100-1200kg from memory.

[Turbo_Steve]

1250kg for the GSR, 1180Kg for the RS. Mine is somewhere in between.
VR-4 is quoted at 1520kg, but it's definitely heavier than that. Auto + leather etc means it's about 1600kg or so.

And it won't be going on the road much, anyway.
