Yeah Spec 2s look a lot better than they perform. As for the road/track tyre - it's been covered far too many times and we still don't have a definitive answer. Here's a recent thread that has some for you to try as obviously what suits one, doesn't suit another...

Could still be in then. I'll just watch the thread and confirm if it's suits me.

No can do as that's Ford RS National Day but don't worry about me. Would have to be near end of August really for me.

Might be, depends on date really.

Exactly what I was thinking, or just buy two half decent ones and keep your best two that you have, if feasible.

R1Rs fit the bill perfectly. A little noisy for road use but more than adequate for the odd track day and great in the wet. If you use your road car to just do a couple of track days a year and only want one set of tyres, I would definitely recommend them. I acept they can melt a bit quickly on...

Roll on National Day

Multitasking already? Typing with one hand, bottle in the other. Still time to have Mulsanne as a middle name.

There was a big Cheshire cat when I popped in earlier!

Grab the last ever edition of Auto Trader if you can still find one. Apparently they stopped printing last week:S

Think it depends if she's L'oreal or not.

Yeah I've used ATS before but they can be funny about customer specs.

Up to you if it seems okay but they're red for a reason, if your steering wheel's out too. I'd be getting a second opinion to check it over.

Did protyre seriously just leave it like that without offering to sort it? I wouldn't leave or pay until both sides were equal. Unless a reasonable explanation was given.

I would guess you've got something wrong suspension wise. Wheel bearing etc. or something's bent.

​Ahem you know the rules.

Is that how they left it? If you don't want any, then it all should read 0 Can't remember the tolerances but you have slight toe out at front which is within spec. Front left camber is a bit "iffy" and rear right toe is a bit high I think. Did you get a print out? Normally green = OK and red =...

I'd get proof if it was done then. Specialist = about £600 all in, with all genuine parts.

Bimarcos seem to be quite popular on here, good price too on ebay.

I know not always Oli, note my use of the word generally lol.;) Think you've been lucky (at least on the suspension front anyway)

Seems that coilies just die on our roads, fine if it's purely a track car but not for road use, as far as I can see generally.

Refresh all std components - ball joints etc. Cup shocks and Sportline/Cooksports with camber bolts. Perfectly adequate for track days and still comfortable for the road. I do roughly 12k road miles and about 10 TDs per year and more than happy with mine for both uses. Perfect compromise IMO.

I'd search for cooksport or sportline pics

I don't think you will notice any speed difference but mine seems to run smoothest on Shell.

I have a bad feeling about this.

Oh dear.

About the same as drinking Coke one week, Pepsi the next and then Rola Cola the week after. That third week will be bad lol. Difference wouldn't be noticeable really.

Sounds about right - £10 per tyre fit, £30 alignment not really needed but might as well and hour labour for the springs (it's only about 20 minutes to do but realistically most garages will charge an hour for anything they do). However, if you shop around you might get a better deal.

Down the A5, if you see the Hinckley sign turn round.:clown::drunk:

Ph2 are 48.5 offset.
