Haha, I'd of bought several sets if they could be had that cheap, still cheap though.
Especially when compared to Cup 2s which were my other choice, there's no way the Cups are twice as good to justify the cost
Mega tyres, I ran the older AD08 at Spa in torrential rain and the grip was unbelievable once you got a bit of heat in them, standing water isn't so much of an issue when they still have plenty tread depth left.
Stuck some R compound ones on Megane before we went to the Ring done 25 low 8...
I gave in and done them anyway, mainly for the first reason you mentioned, for easier not having to deal with tyres, particularly when they will have 255s on
Picking up my freshly refurbed OZs later today and have some C5 to seal them with.
Won't be getting tyres on them til the end of the month, am I wasting my time sealing them now? Easier as they will be spotless so don't need to wash them and they will be off the car anyway, I've seen people...
Surely getting in on track is the best way to do so? You cant really drive these sort of things at their most ont he road without being an utter c**t.
I had done my first TD in the Megane a week after collecting it LOL
The wheels are quite a marmite thing tbf, Id struggle to go back to black wheels now as i think it looks pish with them LOL
Cup wheels are gonna get painted again this year as they will be used as track wheels. Might go blue this time....

Don't need to modify them, but you can only get around - 2 degrees camber with the stock holes and you physically can't get into adjust the camber without dropping the strut.
Swivels isn't a hugely expensive issue tbh, Aaron's Autos do them for 175 a side for the lower ones. You can buy...
ASTs fitted, all 4 swivels changed and the turrets modified to allow on car camber adjustment, running - 2.5 at the moment but got the option to run upto - 4 degrees, which will be handy when/if I decide to start using slicks
Megane goes into SWR on Wednesday to get the AST's fitted, All 4 swivels replaced and the turrents modified to allow upto -4 degrees camber and being able to adjust them on the car without having to drop them.
OZ's are also getting dropped off at Wheelcoat this week as well, Just need to get my...
Nah thats definitely not me haha, Didn't get as much track time as i wanted to last year due to engine/box issues but should get a fair bit this year seeing as the spec is pretty much spot on now, means i can spend money on driving it instead of fixing
Had a slight issue with the ASTs, they were sold with the car.
However, a brand new set was ordered for me at no extra cost to what I paid initially, and they are finally due to arrive this week, top guy!
My set of OZs are getting refurbed as they don't have the best finish and some of...
I really want to like this as it is fantastic in terms of feel, physics and the laser scanned tracks, However the graphics, sounds and GUI really puts a stop to that. It genuinely looks like a previous gen game at times and sounds on par.
I spent a few hours on AC tonight after tweaking some settings and i maybe was a bit harsh on it, Both are great, Pcars needs a lot of tweaking of the settings to get it to a place that i feel is good where as AC is pretty much sorted from the get go.
Quite enjoyed it but i still stand by the...
Any D7000 users on here?
My D60 has finally given up the ghost and one of these is high on the list as its replacement as you can pick up a body for sensible money now.
Tweak your feedback settings and i can guarantee Pcars feels better.
I spent the other day mainly on pcars with a mate but we stuck AC on for a bit just to drive a couple other cars and tracks that are missing from the former. It quickly got switched off. The sounds are terrible in it, E92 M3...
