Getting bored of not being able to fiddle with this, can't even clean it or anything at the moment.
August 15th I will be moving house and I will be able to bring it home around August 20th where it'll be insured until mid September which conveniently is when I'm going to book castle Combe for a track day before it comes off the road for more toys, it needs a climbing frame, new harnesses and braided brake lines over winter whilst I start getting bits together for ITBs.
Here's a pic as it stands.

Liking this buddy! Seems to be alot cleaner from the first pics in the blog. Just need some morettes to finish it off now IMO
Just a quick question... how do you find the R888's compared to the T1R's? I've just done a few sessions at Lydden and put a fair amount of wear on my T1R's. Also found they took a fair old while to warm up and give some decent grip so just wondering if you'd recommend them at all?

I can personally vouch the difference in the two tyres. There is genuinely a fair bit of noticeable difference between the two, the R888's are just superior (have been a passenger with Josh on both sets of rubber).

I can confirm I can't.
RIP Icelandic.
Don't think I've got a picture of the end result in this thread.

R888s are so much better than T1rs, can Corey more speed through the corners and feels much much better driving them.
T1Rs id personally not buy again, anything other than perfectly dry conditions they are scary.
Morettes are on the list as well!

Ahh right great cheers matey! I may as well finish off the T1R's and a spare set of tyres I've got before the end of the year and go out with some R888's for next years play time Have you driven the R888's in the wet at all? Take it they're not fun either? Kind of glad I'm not the only one to find the T1R's terrifying when pushing on in the wet! 
And good lad about the morettes - I've put yellow bulbs in mine with crystal lamps and the old girl looks EVILLLLL  People honestly get out my way when they see it in their rear view mirror on the backroads haha

I've not used them in the wet, I don't use the car on the road very often at all, and only done the 1 track day on them.
Yeah T1Rs are nothing short of terrifying lol.
Do you have a link to the crystal lenses? Might see if I can pick up a cheap set of motettes to fix up... I use yellow bulbs now, once insurance drops I'll insure it as a second car properly and it would get used more then.
