Long story, basically they will become championship use only, still road legal but will only be sold to race teams and no longer available to the public like they are now. You will probably find people on ebay selling them if they can get them but people like us at Camskill and various other...
Could of been worse I guess.
My mate hit a deer in his brand new car few years back did £3k worth of damage.
My dad rolled a classic mini when he hit a deer too lol.
Wonder how loud my system is. Can imagine it being similar figures to yours.
Been pulled by traffic before though and never said a word. I think it depends on their mood if they want to get petty. Even though they are just technically doing their job.
Not sure what speed I was doing, think it was around 80.
I'm glad it started to fly and didn't just keep walking would of ruined my bumper if not headlights etc.
The fat fucker done this!
Got a new bonnet for £60 and getting it painted for free so not too bad at all really.
Was kinda funny seeing it getting bounced about 40ft in the air when I hit it.
I was more worried about my cup splitter I had just fitted.
I can see it becoming law in few years time to be honest.
Although the amount of people that would break that law would be massive, the cost of winters in some sizes are crazy so would put a lot of people off.
Got them on mine they are great.
Went up near hardknott pass the other night in them, they come into their own league when its snow on snow contact. The stopping power from them is funny, can pretty much hammer the brakes on like its dry roads.
Excellent over standing water too.
Got up...
Mine were through Revolution247 in Newcastle, their normal price is £499.
He done a deal for me though as was getting winter tyres and full alignment etc done at same time so spent a fair bit of money, plus a couple of mates have bought loads from them.
We are talking about 195/50/15 in here though so in that size they are pennies.
AD08's are meant to be great in wet conditions, scored a wet grip rating of A.
Spec 2s over proxies.
Proxies = budget to me.
What size is it your getting?
For that range of tyre also consider Hankook V12, Falken FK453 or ZE914 and Uniroyal Rainsport 2s.
Mine does it with certain higher ron fuel as well. Had to put Essos higher ron stuff in once as I was running low, engine light came on knock sensor was going nuts. So no longer user that fuel. Never had to put 95 ron in yet.
Only gets Ultimate or Vpower now.
Just don't see the point in blowing £120 on pads for 99% road use and a small amount of track.
The set of standard brembo discs and pads will be more than up to the job. I would spend the money on changing the brake lines personally.
