All winter. I don't care what my car looks like!
Surprisingly, that is the ride height with Eibach Sportlines on! I don't want it too low, too many crappy surfaced roads and speed humps round my manor.
I reckon you'd have to be driving with your brain unplugged to notice the difference!
It's a very light car, don't forget, the brakes won't take that much hammer unless you're the Stig!
EDIT: I'll let you know in November when I've been to Oulton Park on them...
I paid £119, plus £9 adverse weather insurance. Trackday insurance is optional, but not cheap.

Get some wheeltrims and dci badges
I did think of that!
Looks un-cared for
How so? Cars aren't meant to spend their days spotless and shiny, they're meant to be used, get dirty, take stuff to the tip! It'll look a whole heap better once the Turinis have been refurbed and repainted in my special top-secret new colour, but until then it's not getting washed until February. No point, it'll just get filthy again in a week.

The steelies make it look un-cared for. I understand why you've done it.
Got any dci badges going spare?
a thirsty one
i have a set of steelies as well, i painted mine gloss black though and decided to do a 2 inch wide arctic blue stripe from centre to the edge and few coats laquer.
4 x 2005 steelies with tyres were £5.50 binned the tyres and fitted some yoko parada spec 2's used them at silverstone and will be back on for angelsey and oulton park. wish my budget could stretch to some alloy 15 for track but they will do for now. not had any issues with brake heat yet the 182 alloy isnt very good for cooling anyway, i have uprated brakes though.
do em gloss and laquer them mate will look a little less neglected, may see you at oulton park sometime we can park our steelie packing clios together lol

yass you evan have a locking nut on the steelies
Of course, I wasn't going to buy a complete set of new bolts for them!
Nope. A good wash now, followed by a liberal coating of wax will see it right. Been doing this for years now, never had a single problem.
Plus it looks fan-damn-tastic when you do wash it again.
Washing a car in winter is utterly pointless, in my opinion. It'll only be filthy a week later and you're back at the beginning of the cycle...

thats some fancy company, always a few porkers at oulton.
im at oulton 28th nov, angelsey end oct.
there is something quite liberating about smoking round on the 15's which rubber wise are cheap as hell compared to the £100+ for the pe2's
