Sickest F-Type R my Build Thread a lot of INFO!
@Life And Projects By Austin YOUTUBE I spoke with Chris at VAP yesterday about the upper pulley install as well. One thing he mentioned and maybe helpful for others that find this thread in the future and are planning to do the same thing, is that when heating the upper pulley, it is better to use a 1000w hot plate. Let the pulley hub sit on there on HI for roughly 30-45 minutes until it turns from a silver to a more golden/bronze color and it is ready to go at that point. Even heat application is better to avoid either it not going on easily or damaging the pulley.
Also to note, that once the hub is cooled, it is on there, so like you said in the video, get it right the first time, there is no going back or second chances.
Anyway, keep up the video updates, even if some might criticize you, there are probably way more people now and into the future that will find this information helpful in some way, shape or form!

Lovely. What's the ride and handling like on 22's?
You probably know this already, but when I was putting 21's on mine, they oversized the tyres to make the protective ridge sit proud of the rim, as ******** here has a history of kerbing rims. It does work, I have only managed to scuff a rim once in 3 years using 265's on the front and 305's on the rear.
