So long as the brakes hold out the car is fine as is. Sticky tyres ruin the driver input & playful nature of the car, also 'when' it lets go you will be travelling rather quick :D Too many spend a fortune on 'modding' without realising what they have to start with. The car is more talented...

Good luck with this, think 250-280 should be the money, So long as map etc work out should be a goer. Just hope the box holds out :D

I did Donington GP circuit last July, was 30+ most of the day. Never suffered any fade or anything & this is known as a brake killer. Are you sure your pads are not glazed? To pop out & do some heavy braking sounds like glazing. Brakes need a lot of temps to work effectively, so if you...

The toyo R1R, is the way forward;) Lasts longer than 888 & has as much grip:D

These are the 8J magnesium cup racer wheels, i bought off Kev. Spinky will get the part numbers you need as he bought them from me when i sold my Cup.

Thats not bad for the 4 covers. Capital seating charged me £100 to repair tiny hole next to seam!

On the back of the wheel the stamped info has several numbers. The standard wheels have an 'X' by 7.5J the magnesium ones have an 'X' by the 8J Spinky has my old wheels so he will need to look on the back :D You can see the metal inserts (rust) where the bolts go. Powdercoated,

My mate has a set of recaro covers, 2 bases 2 backs. No idea what they are worth but was going to ebay them for him as everyone has the wear issues.

The 8J 17 magnesiuum fit 197's & 200's. Believe part number is 8200616058, get Spinky to double check as he has my/kevs set;)

I tried 2 stealers near me because of wear. I bought the car from a main dealer, 3 months old 1,400m & hole in bolster & base foams split due to previous owner. David got involved & suddenly my car was in getting sorted at the dealerships that had egnored the issues:D

Did you contact David RUK he sorted it for me?

The Italian owners run Hankook RS2's & i did several trackdays & 5000 miles on mine. I have the R888's GG compound on spare wheels these have more outright grip but sound like a sodding landrover on the road. The G is too soft. The myths about R888's not liking wet tracks are also rubbish as i...

For track or road use?

Russ do you know of an excellent bodyshop near you if so request it goes there. 'Approved bodyshop' is industry language for cheap as poss! FACT!

No one came back with any firm prices just silly offers, less than i paid Kevo for bare rims. Would of sold on here if someone showed genuine interest. No one did.

^^ i asked for opinions on what they were worth on here. The wheels, i had offers of £200-300 etc so thought i'm wasting my time. The first offer i got on RS was over £600. Have several in waiting if it falls through.

Wheels & tyres provisionally sold on RS. Tunepoint & filter sold.

Kev was it FCS? During a full day event on a warm day you will not believe how hot the wheels etc get, even with cool down lap. The air escaping from valves whilst balancing pressures is unreal. Silverstone GP is 3 1/2 miles per lap, my contis were shredded & i didn't stay out too long. My...

Tyre walls are too soft for track use, fall to bits if you push hard. Was at cadwell couple of yrs back the trophy that mashed the barriers was wearing??? When dry fine push on in the wet & be prepared for some stains.

The 40 profile is fine, 5mm difference dought the mrs would notice:D. The tyres when i tried them were good in the dry. Not very good in the wet.
