Hey guys, ripping of my blended group 5s today to replace with carbon migs! my expeirence with the blended ones has not been good so i would say to anyone not to bother! Pain in the ass! cant get any set up gear on the wheels cos it catches, they chip an crack and when the camber an castor is where it needs to be the tyres rub. Anyone able to point me towards a decent pic of some migs fitted? Is there a web site for the series with some pics of a start grid maybe?

The lesson to be learned here is to set all your suspension first, then fit the arches.

But also, blended arches on minis always crack, never seen a set that hasn't.

There are some pics of our car with migs and 13s on at www.twin-turbo.co.uk

the design shows a distinct lack of imagination,
talk about starting off with a clean sheet of paper, then not bothering to fucking draw on it,lol

I have the same arches as the pictured car, but not blended, with a rubber seal. I can see why they catch more as they have solid bottoms and the mig arches are hollow (I know what I mean). So migs could help the catching a bit.
