Hi Peter, yes I'm currently using 13" Prorace 1.2's. I also like the Compomotive CXR wheels so it's good to know they fit too, does anyone know are they available again?
Adi, I noticed your write up on the leverage, but I hoped I wouldn't have to bother but I guess this is the time to sort out whilst its all still accessible.

Re: Sylva J15 Build
I found this picture on the sports car builders of Western Australia. I like the J15 in white. What do you think of the black painted headlight recesses? I guess the small lights are the indicators? The image might be too big to display properly, I'll try and resize it later.

The black eyes make it look a bit Panda-ish to me! But still like it in white...

For me , all J15's look a bit naff unless the headlight recesses are covered by polycarbonate curved light covers. With covers they look stunning but a bit unfinished without . Body coloured recesses look good too with poly covers

On the Fury the Sierra lever is modified and extended at the cable end and that results in a reduction of leverage so I was onto a LOSER from the start. Even with Sierra calipers they have a crap feel. If the J15 doesn't modify the lever then you might be OK.
Spelling edit, just for Jeff

Re: Sylva J15 Build
I'm loving the black eyes - very cool - just might do that as a future tweek. My handbrake lever was modified to change the angle and remove the pivot. Very simple and works well. I struggle to put picture on here so hopefully this is a link to the image.

I actually think this car is already fitted with the light covers, they are just a bit difficult to see in this image. If you look very closely at the original pictures you can see them in the side view, the fasteners look neatly well hidden.
