The rear tyres are Toyo Tranpaths 10.5R15.The fronts are Cooper 205/75/15. Don't know the price of the centipedes but the Micky Thomsons Baja Claws are only about $260 each fitted.

IT RUNS!!!!!!!! Finally got the EFI sorted and started it at midnight!!!! Still needs to be tuned...the laptop batteries were flat so whenever i get to it i s'pose...It is running a bit rich so the mice in the shed are on a high at the moment but the biggest difference i've noticed so far is the instantanious throttle response:thumb Cant wait to play with it a bit more;) Just got to bolt the body down and install the seats/bonnet and off i go!!!! Will post pictures at a more reasonable hour..:party:beer:beer:beer:beer:beer
