Well the comedy rear tyres have amused me enough! So I've ordered some michelin pilot super sport in 275/35/19.

I also fitted my Brembo Sport pads today and flushed the brake fluid to some dot 4 performance fluid. Initial opinion on them is good, I've had them before on a different car and they seem just as good on road. Can't wait to see how they hold up on track!

So new rear tyres are fitted, still seem very slippy at the moment so I'll reserve judgement until they've had some proper use.

I've booked the car in for geometry to be set up, looking into the geo setting at the moment!

I always find this when getting new tyres installed, but after a good few miles they always feel alot better [smilie=karls_thumb.gif]

Yeh the new tyres feel better already!

Ok so I had my geometry set up today, I used Liverpool ball joint centre as they always do a great job and are very helpful.

The car was well out but is all sorted now, I must say the rear end feels much more stable now.

Now:

The only part they couldn't get right was the front camber, as it still had the bolt in from bmw on the strut top. The adjustment looks poor anyway from the strut top so I'll look into adjustable front camber options to get it perfect.

Got the bike out for a ride today as it was dry and not been out for months on it.

Decided to give both the bike and car a quick wash so couldn't resist a few pics of my toys together :rolleyes:

Got some LCI rear lights too and had a few bits coded.


I had a quick photoshoot of my car with a friend last week. It was a last minute thing so the car wasn't as clean as I'd like and we didn't have much time.

Some of the pics are taken with a decent camera, some are off my iPhone 6.
Just thought I'd share them, typically my carbon splitters arrived the day after :rolleyes:

I've been meaning to do this since I got it 4-5 months ago but the crappy weather and long work hours had stopped me.

Enjoy :)
