  1. That is is terrible news. It would appear that nothing is safe these days!
  2. Still not available in 225/45/18
  3. This I could be really tempted by: http://uk.cars.yahoo.com/05112009/36/bm ... -m3-0.html
  4. Excellent series this. You also get a mix of races, sprints and hillclimbs to test your ability.
  5. Not sure if this is a repost: http://www.evo.co.uk/carreviews/evocarr ... 4c1c9069eb
  6. Any good quality oil will be fine. Just treat it like a series of mini track days and keep an eye on brake pads wear, tyre wear and change the fluids regularly. On the subject of tyres Toyo 888's are about the best road legal tyre for this sort of thing.
  7. Curborough is possibly not one of the better sprint tracks but it would certainly give you an idea of what sprinting is all about and, as you say, it's not too harmful on the car because you are only doing a lap at a time.
  8. Pinched this from one of the other forums: http://www.luxury4play.com/automotive/3 ... -pics.html
  9. Great pics Immy. I used to visit Auckland when I was on the cruise ships back in the late 60's - I bet it's changed a lot since then!
  10. If the only desired outcome is more oversteer, then either switch the TCS off or dial in some toe out on the rear. Lot cheaper than changing the diff.

    Tyres

    £200 per corner puts you very close to MPS 2's and they are about as good as you'll get imo.
  12. I think I would have recognised yours Ian
  13. You followed me this morning past the airport and down to Weycock Cross.
  14. Nice pics Immy. I am so envious that your summer is just starting and we are going into winter again!!
  15. Spotted you yesterday around 3.30 pm coming off the A470 at Treforest.
  16. Quite agree Dave especially when they look like this:
  17. As Dave has already pointed out they are totally the wrong size. If you are happy with Toyo's then why not stick with them, but check out the prices on Black circles and Camskill because they are a lot cheaper than you have indicated you pay for them.
  18. On your estimation of 500 miles a week that's around 8000 miles you've got from them. This does seem quite low bit I guess it depends on the type of use you give them. Have you done any track days for example?
  19. Great move for him but I doubt he's a match for Hamilton.
  20. I can't confirm or refute that but one things for sure, it wasn't me. I was at Hethel before the M25 was completed and it used to take forever to get there when you were west of London.
