Yeah, We've got a lot of rules here. Even down to the wattage of bulbs that can be sold for bike lights (that's Bicycle!). The standard rear bulb can't take the juice my generator delivers. It burns out quickly, and robs too much power from the front light. I couldn't get a different bulb, so I picked up a 30ohm power resistor and put it into the circuit. Probably illegal. Thanks everyone for all the advice on tire sizes. I have been looking at used tire/wheel sets, and a lot that are sold as suitable for this car are 205/60-15. I'm not worried about inspection, as I can through on my winter wheels for that, but I'll be sure to test whatever I buy first before I hand over the cash. Robobass
