Got a new stereo for the car ( sort of ). Seeing as Lotus decided i didn't need one.







Amazon now thinks i am a gym bunny, they keep offering me cheap latex products now after buying the headphones through them.  :rolleye:
I am defo getting old. I have been thinking how do they cram all that stuff into a credit card size gadget.  :pomppomp:

Got some new Shiny shiny.
After 4 of my 6 track days being wet last year i needed some alternative tyres for the wet days. The Yoka A048's are fun in the wet but you soon get bored with the car twitching everywhere and aqua planing over 50mph.  :scared:

So i have these wheels for these events. Team Dynamics Pro race 1.4 forged, specifically designed for Lotus and standard wheels on the 2009 Cup cars.
They are lovely wheels and should look great once on.

Delicious.

Are you doing all SELOC stuff this year, or do you fancy mixing it up again? Amongst others, were planning Anglesey on BH Mon May 27th. Will possibly involve camping, beer and BBQ too.
Sideways yo!

Very excellent wheels  :notworthy: Titanium colour - Will still look good even when covered with brake dust and dirt.

But if driving with them in the wet may I suggest some tyres to go on them too!  :innocent:

Love this!   :congrats: I have been looking at exige s2's the last couple of weeks. Was thinking it might be cheaper to buy an elise and put a k20 in it.

I have been out in a few K20 Exiges and Elise's and they are superb, it is a much better engine and feels great in the cars. Very expensive conversion though.

Probably better to get one thats had the conversion done then ? I have seen a few up for sale on piston heads with the k20's in them and im sure i even seen one with a 1.8bam engine. Fun cars to drive they don't need mega bhp. Going to go try a few standard ones out. I bet the cup is just awesome though. Slightly out my price bracket.
