Only had today to work on the car as new job looms tomorrow.

Order my new tyres at thr start of the week, went for yoko A539's a truely dangerous tyre in wet conditions, but in the dry on track they dont' melt, which was top of my list for important quailties of the tyres, not bothered abotu wet handlign so much, ?122 delivered to my door :D

Also picked up some other 15" alloys from a friend as he didn't want them anymore. they are 5spoke tigra ones I think, 6" wide, look the difference between these and my 7" trackday wheel :shock:

The rear need the arch pulling out a bit and a 3mm space on it to make it miss the damper and inner arch.

The front needs a 2-3mm spacer to miss the steerign ball joint, but thats about all.
