How/where would I get a set of slicks (normal Cup 1 7+9x17 sizes)? I quite fancy trying the cup on them.
 
I have some 18" GT3 sized slicks for sale (probabaly sold now --- cheque in the post), but Demon tweaks quoted £1200 for them, but I'm told Dunlop are £600 direct so have accepted a little under £250 because I just don't need them.
But maybe the price info will help.

i got a set of 18" wheels from H&S last year - very light (as light if not lighter than the mags allegedly) and shod with (used) slicks..
they need the car to be set up with lots of neg camber to fit and not rub by all accounts

i don't think i'll get the chance to fit them this year as moving house is proving to be a nightmare - and the car is tucked away at the moment..

you're welcome to borrow them if you like and give them a go - give me a ring if you want to try them.

btw - saw your car at gt1 last weekend then saw you pottering round cobham town centre - a maritime '64 certainly stands out a bit...[:D]

Hi Matt, thanks for the offer, I may take you up on that. I think the PO but one had the car set up for slicks, it's running about -3 camber all round.

Yep, was in town to get some car tax after MOTing it at GT1 - Craig said he'd tried to wind up your other half saying it was your car.

Cheers

I get my Dunlop slicks from Mr Tyre in Birmingham.

By trial and error I've ended up with -3 all round Ian, so sounds as though your car IS set up for slicks!!!
 
Mel, what sizes are you using? Looking at their site, something like 205/620R17 and 235/620R17 on standard 7+9 Cup 1s, though the rears seem a bit narrow.
 
235/620R17 662 FRONT

265/630R17 894 REAR

The last three numbers the 'softness'. I usually get a whole 'season' out of them before they are canvassed, but they certainly lose their effectiveness as the year progresses!!
 
yeah - it was quite freaky opening the door and seeing what looked like my car there - even made me stop for a second!

let me know about the wheels - we may be moving into rented in the very near future (ie 3-4 weeks) in which case they may end up in storage for the season dependant on where we end up..

there was a guy on ebay, derby direction, selling surplus control slicks from the cupra cup and a couple of other race series.. the cupra cup regulation tyres are the same size as cup 1's from memory.. might be worth a look; I think he had cut slicks too, about £50 a tyre at the time
