Back out to the Berkeley- sort of...
It's been awhile since I've fabbed anything.. I've been a bit burned out from the push to get the Berk ready for the Reno event last month.. It's been awhile since then, and the itch to build is starting to set in again.. So I've been wandering out to the garage to contemplate next steps..
I want to address the tires and wheels, something I've never been completely happy with on this car.- the reality is my 185-60R13s that I've been running around on are starting to dry rot; they're old. I've decided my new 'daily use' tires will be tall and skinny, as close to the OEM look as possible, on steel 13" wheels. I've settled on Firestone 145R13 rubber, and 4.5 x 13 (36 offset) wheels.. My suspension is off a bit for the offsets available, so I'll have to run 1" wheel spacers..
I'm not sure what I'm going to do for my set of 'track tires'... In the last pic you might recognize the minilight wheels- Steve pulled those from the N600 and gave them back to me as he doesn't need them (thanks Steve!
)... In the pic they've got (old) 175/50R13 tires on them, which I think will be a good size (RMP range) for track days.. Just need to convince myself that it's what I want before I go and buy sticky tires in that size..
