Looks a good job dude, like the exhausts done too. I ran out of autosol last time i did the old exhaust on the sax as someone was coming to pick it up so thought i'd clean it, so i used oven cleaner instead..works a fucking treat!

Its got shit loads of torque and will pull away from a standstill in any gear lol..
Being a truck derived gearbox its a bit heavy (shit imo) but the rear axle is tvr and has ap brakes as standard.
For the money theyre greart but dont expect to be the winner of every traffic light gran prix.
The 260's also have quite poor panel gapping imo as they where rushed through production.

I don't use tyre blackened until at the show as it just flicks up the paintwork.
This was a "pre show clean".. Keep up lad

Try dabbing it dry with a MF towel. Had the same problem myself and that seemed to do the trick.
