Not trying to defend Mini Mania, but I read the line on their site this way, so this makes sense: Installing wide tires, while at the same time increasing horsepower, causes the Sprite rear axle to

That's kinda my point. I see this stuff all the time when someone who khows the technical aspects (but isn't a writer) hands a description over to an "editor" who makes the sentence gramatically cor
