Ah more mixed reviews! Having looked on a few tyre review websites last night the PS3 have better percentage reviews to the conti's but not by much. The problem is the comments of each tyre vary so much, people saying they get 6-10k miles out of a set of PS3's and then others say they get 30k...
Ah that's good, as ive got old/worn contis on my M3 that don't seem that great but I found the Michelin PE2's I've had before to be epic in the wet as well as great grip/comfort/quiet on the road. Only downside to them it seems is the reviews say they wear quicker than the contis.

Looking to get a set of tyres for the M3 in the next couple of days, just wondered what peoples opinions on these tyres and what you'd get? Both are premium brands with no doubt the michelins being better but are slightly more expensive.
Michelins - £440 Delivered
Conti's - £380 Delivered...
Your spending the same amount as I am on fixing your clio? Surely that cant be right!
Indeed I love to think that all the work i've done will help resale, though to some people its still a high miler car.
Cheers mate, like I said earlier in the thread I can get very particular about doing...
Gotta love a bit of Trax track time, bloody free for all!
Chip, you need a diff in that! Must be a right pain coming out of every corner spinning the wheels that much!
Lol, i'll wont be swapping these arms with anyone Chip, i'll be selling them I think seeing as its highly likely that Renault arent making them anymore! ;)
Yeah okay i'll look into getting a non cup wishbones, polybushing them and adding the caster that way. Indeed reliability is the key in out race build. Will speak to Chip tonight at the Shires meet, you coming also?
I cant give you a factual explanation tbh but given that Mike and Chip have...
Okay thats cool, cheers Chip. We're not doing anything too mad with our build but adding a bit of caster will help and like you said we'll be happy to cut the bumper tabs away, even part of the front bumper to allow for wheel clearance.
I cant remember how much the AST topmounts add casterwise...
So what were the differences in caster between the standard wishbone, the Cup one and your modifed one Mike/Chip please?
Got two sets of cup wishbones and looking to get quite a bit of caster for the racecar we're building, looking to incorportate some AST topmounts also for added caster.

Lol.
Indeed I have spent a lot on it matey, maybe i've been unlucky with it given the amount of history and receipts it came with when I purchased the car. Its a tough one, like I said I went with what I thought was good, someone could buy a £2,500 s**tter and it not break down for years. I...

The car cleaned/RainX'd (just incase!) the night before, all prepped with everything you need for France these days and packed full of cases.
Headed off at 5:30am for an early morning Eurotunnel, me, the woman, Ollie off here and his prettier half. The car felt good and our...

Then for another 3 months like the first 3, the car again didnt get much use through working away, bearly even covering 800 miles this year so far! Dirty, looking sorry for itself I had nearly collected all the bits required to change other various things that I wasnt happy...
So, the big update...
3rd March 2012
This years been a pretty mad one so far with me working away quite a bit for the first 3 months of the year, so the M3 hasnt had much of a look in seeing as I had been working 12 out of 14 days solidly. Upon getting home of a weekend looking through the...
Lol, just about to write out a mammoth update for the car. No pictures though as not a lots changed looks wise, and I havent had a chance to take any either!
It's a long winded hassle selling parts now. Like Dan said you'll see anywhere between £1500-£2500 selling it in parts but could take you 6+ months to sell maybe just half the parts, even at cheap prices.
Reason for that is down to idiots who are selling things for absolute peanuts. £60 for a...
Before I leave the country for a bit of sunshine, wish you guys all the best this weekend and hope you get some dry weather!
Anything less than a podium and i'll be asking questions! ;)
