The tyres alone, transformed it? Must've been more to it than that?
What's it like on track?
I'm not convinced by LED headlights a technology, yet. Xenons seem to be hard to replace as all round achievers. LED's, even fitted to expensive branded models, just look like some very white Halfords £12 bulbs - no road presence like crisp Bi-Xenons have for me, anyway...

As it feels like a new car and looks like a new'ish one compared with before, I'm a bit snap happy.
With a good mate of mine's Rocco R.
One of those who dropped 2 gears and floored it past, eased off and repeated several times :evilgrin: - I wish I had his fuel budgets :sick: :sad1: :booty:

Lol actually yes I had a party to go to in the evening so I was flat out on the beers! Got home at 2.30 absolutely nakered and was so pleased to see my bed haha!
Not sure on pads yet hopefully the pagid blues will be ok if I keep them cooler and don't do 4 consecutive sessions lol otherwise I'll take alexs advice and maybe try pagid yellows but I will try blues once more with additional cooling!
Bedford appeals to me nice and big with plenty of run off... next year probably got to try and recover funds this year.
Goodwood is nice it's only 45 mins and it's a nice fast track but you must not get it wrong but awesome when you get it right!
