In short Sh!t hot,
I would say on par with ad08 and R1R's for outright grip and excellent in the wet too, Costco in Hunslett is the place to buy them from,
I have found a small oil leak from the gearbox selector shaft seal so I've ordered a replacement off ebay but until it's arrives the only thing i could find to do was was and polish both cars with Meguiars products, came up pretty nice!
Also fixed the toaster that the wife has being asking me...
if you don't have a friendly tester, find a dumb one without a clue and see if it will pass on the emissions anyway, or just borrow a cat of mates car?
Today I managed to get the CookSport springs fitted so here's some pics of before and after.
For reference the car is on 16'' trophy turinis fitted with 205 45 16 pilot sport 3's
BEFORE:
AFTER:
It's just a Nylon gearknob from motorsport tools that came out my old hillclimb car, And then drilled out to 14mm? I think,
Then cut the old knob off with a hacksaw and epoxy resin to fix in place,
link to knob below...
The problem with the Test Regulations is that vosa/dvsa expect the Tester to apply his own common sense to what ever He comes across, unfortunately there are a lot of testers that think they are the modifying police and just fail anything that's a little different, whats has been said above is...
by the looks no suspension damage, N/S leg crumple zone, bonnet, wing, headlight, bumper, slam panel, 2 airbags and pretensioners, paint, remember it's a lease car so will be at trade price,
i stand by £4k
After a really boring Russian grand prix I thought I'd better do something productive with the rest of my Sunday so sorted a small oil leak from the crankcase vent plate on the cam cover
It says collection only but I would have to insist on posting them to me so I didn't have to meet him!
He's put his mobile number on there too so other weirdo's can call him!
I did my aux belt the other day and did a bit of a quick guide, see link below

The other job was brembo discs, pads and super blue fluid change, cheers to G172 for sorting me out,
While I was in there I gave the calipers a good clean and a coat of paint,
I also replaced the steering rack bushes with powerflex black series a fairly easy job but didn't get the pics from that.
