I ran PE2's on my first Track day I did, They were very good but did suffer with the Tread Blocks shifting and blistering on the edges.
That said I did a 1/2 Day open Pit at Brands Hatch and still had plenty of tyre left for the drive home.
I Love mine to bits, and dont think I would look at swapping them for any other buckets personally, and Dan Yes they are amazing on track, I just need to sort out my harnesses though as only running pissy Sparco 3 points at the moment.
My Advice would be either as mentioned above, Dodo Born To Be Mild (BTBM) or this is an excellent product -

Im Running Bimarco Futuras in my Daily car, very comfortable and not to much of a problem to use day to day.
Only issue is they are fixed so no acess to the rear seats if you need it (I Dont)
Dont know if you need any 'bits' for your Rokko, but saw this and thought of you....

Love it, Want to see it with the BBS on!
I presume (Sorry if i have missed in the thread) you have some side trims to fit along the length of the car? Chrome?
The car looks good and the plans sound great.
I for one love seeing what other parts of the world have to offer in terms of cars and modifications.
Dont let the few on here put you off, your grasp of the English Language is far better than many of the 'Born and Bred' on this site!
Looks great Ollie, I buzzed over mine before Trax with some PB White Diamond as a quick fix but really do need to give it a going over once I get it back from the Dealership again.
Had the same issue with a bearing i did on Stuntys car on here...
Issue was resoved with a BIG Hammer and a BIG Screwdriver, took some beating into submission to remove it though!
Love it, Will keep watching this with interest!
You like your querky cars dont you with the Marcos and the Europa, its refreshing to see something different
I went from 172 Manifold to 182 Manifold with Sport CAT.
I lost 3bhp with the 182 fitted but gained 7lbft Torque leaving me with 171bhp and 159lbft Torque, the only think I really noticed with the swap was the 'smoothing' of the kick higher in the rev range.
182 Manifold also makes it much...
Looks Great Ollie, Really fancy some Bonnet Catches for mine but -
1. My Bonnet is dented to fook
2. I have not got the balls to cut holes in my bonnet.
Im ditching the Carbon bits on my car I think, Splitter is ruined by stone chips, I dont like the Rear Bumper insert anymore and my Fog...
2 months, 2 tanks of fuel, 500 miles, 4 gear boxes lol sod worrying about MPG anymore, I'm going to worry about GPM ;)
Ah well parts warranty is dealing, hopefully have it back end if the month from Renault.
New boxes, power wise about 171bhp and 159lbft, I wish it was 400bhp I wouldn't mind as much!
Thankfully parts warranty is taking care of costs! I paid for one, Renault paid for the rest.
