Mega happy as I now have winter/track wheels and track rubber! :happy2:

Was a bit of an emotional 6 hour drive in 31 degree heat with no aircon sat in bumper to bumper traffic on the M25 but happy I've got it done now! Wheels are in need of a refurb as are covered in chips/flakes and gravel rash but I'm not fussed. May keep them as they are for the winter with the snow tyres on then get them painted up ready for next years track season!

Doh, was hoping they were normal lights, not LED!

i could probably do normal lights too, the hardest bit is the wiring from the rear tail light, up into the boot really. ive some spare lights ill have a play and get back to you

Six hour drive from Bournemouth to Kettlewell Yorkshire yesterday. Just upon reaching the Dales I spotted a tasty looking percy plated ED30 coming the other way. Nice welcome!  :happy2:

Still not fitted your AC compressor?

6hrs in 31°C heat, No AC and bad traffic!!!

I'd be dead in under 5mins  :laugh:


Wheel and Tyre combo is awesome Matt  :notworthy:
(No need to refurb them for track use)

19" OZ/Goodyears for Summer

18" 1.2s/888s for Track

18" Orions/??? for Winter

(Can't remember the tyres on your Orions. GY Assy2's???)

Hahahahahhahaha, no matey I still haven't got my aircon fixed!  :ashamed:

The original plan was to use the Orions for winter but there is no way they're going to fit over the front brakes so the plan is now to use the 1.2's for Winter and track and the OZ for summer/posing!  :happy2:

Not sure about purple wheels for the whole of winter tho!  :scared: :sick: :laugh:

Orions = 51

Add 10mm

= 41

My Turinis are 41 so you gain an extra 1mm

But the Turinis spoke design might offer a bit more room than the orions
