On a good sunny day when she is nice and clean it looks immense however she's starting to build up a nice list of problems for me to fix

*Wheels need respraying
*The 195/50 tyres rub on the arch liners and broke the n/s one off parking the other day
*The n/s bottom door part of the bodykit has snapped a tiny bit of the bumpstrip off where it was catching the door on open/close
*Developed a squeek in both doors...grrrrr

Future plans...possibly replace the exhaust system (tried replacing with a kam system but didn't fit) and get a 4-2-1. Also may try getting hold of some gloss black steelies with some decent rubber for tracks. Some morette headlights would be nice for a decent air feed to the bmc which is currently sucking in hot manifold air and is attached with zip ties to the strut brace and jubilee clip to the hose around the throttle body. Also have a baker BM quickshift to fit (xmas present)

It handles and is fast enough for me to deal with so don't really see the need for more power its fine if you keep it above 4000rpm anyway. Good driving is worth an extra 100bhp imo..

Been to the ring in it and done Brands Indy (in the snow) it liked the ring but Brands not so much but have another day in Februrary booked..

[adamskiTNR]

you find a car that did like brands there and you are a genius

lol this is true but the car does seem to prefer the short sharp corners rather than the long one's also have to say the T1-Rs are a pile of poo but for £27 can't really moan..

[AndySAXOp]

for track session would want a better trye will improvement the expreience alot more, the t1r seem to over heat very very fast... i had them over heating after about 5 mins, that why i am now moving to semi slicks... to get more from my day.

[Dave_P]

A road tyre (T1R) will never last long on a track...

[MiniGibbo]

T1r's have the softest sidewall I've come across, are great Tyres for streching though!

[hard_corejoeboy]

To be honest i got them as they were cheap and wanted a 50 profile tyre to soak up the bumps on the road that bit better (which they do) had 45 proxes 4's on the ring and they wern't too bad. Will get some better tyres as and when i can afford as well as some c5 (or light) steelies

[Dave_P]

Maybe worth trying that Hankook RS2 Z212 in 195-50-15 for a trackday... only £52 from Camskill...

If you want a stiff sidewall try Avon ACB10's. (7x15 req)

[adamskiTNR]

aren't the acb10's a formula ford tyre? bet they're cheap

[Dave_P]

FF use 13" tyres not 15" but same kinda tyre.

[MiniGibbo]

The RS2's are a good upgrade over road tyres but are the bottom end of the track day tyre range.

[Dave_P]

Of course they are, the price reflects that.

[AndySAXOp]

My silverstone type RR have extremely hard side Walls, have not used them yet due to getting in oct and killed my damper but plan to get them out next year around April time!!
