I’m running the stock pulleys and rear hubs, just need to know what size belt and where to get it. I think the stock rear belt is 213mm (71 tooth), and the shorter wheel base is 8mm shorter, so I assume we need to take 16mm (15mm or 18mm since the teeth are 3mm apart) from the belt making it a 195mm (65 tooth) or 198mm (66 tooth) belt. Is this right?

I don’t see a belt near this size listed on the Corally site, is there one, or where are people getting these?

Thanks.
I've been testing this myself, and had to use belts of another brand the get the car alright. But when I tested it the car was almost uncontrolable, so as an advise, save some time and money, stick to the original wheelbase, that just works best for this car.
