Tbh, I've only driven the car like 3 times since I bought it (430 miles when picking it up, once to work and one just for a play) so can't give too much of a review. Though I will say that the car didn't feel overly harsh on the 430 mile journey home.
As for tyres. I think I'll go for the Ar-1s...
I will be getting coilovers but not sure if I can stretch the monies that far this season. Wheels, tyres and brakes (PF 330mm kit) are what I want done before I hit the track in May (Maybe earlier if dates work out).
I'm hard on tyres:
I still need to be road legal to drive to track so semi slick route it is.
AR1s look nearly like a slick but are £30 cheaper per tyre over the Dunlop's.
The kind man of DPD had some goodies for me today:
Inside we had some lightness:
These little bad boys:
Nice:
Now I just gotta decide which tyres to stick on 'em. Swaying towards Michelin Cup 2s over the R888-R.
Just a quick question. I've ordered new wheels and now gonna get some shiny new wheel bolts to go with 'em.
Are these the ones I need for the 200:

I'd keep the manifold and sports cat and try an Akrapovic slip on (Cat back bit) as this is the config I want to run eventually. I wanna keep the car road legal so need a cat.
First trackday of the year is booked for the start of May. Went with Opentrack (first time I've booked through them) and their full day event at Knockhill.
Seems like an awful long way away but I have many things I want to do to the car before this (Essentials being brakes and wheels/tyres).
Emptied everything out, stuck the Clio in then thought, this stuff aint going back in :grinning:
Managed to Tetris it in the end. The plan is to get a shed before spring and all that stuff at the front can go in there.
So today the first of the bits for the 200 arrived today. Some shiny new projector headlights:
Also managed to clear the garage to a point that the car could actually fit in:
Tis a tight fit but better this way than sitting on the drive until the season changes.
