Another pointless update. Warm weather and Pilot SuperSports = outstanding winnage. The car has far more mechanical grip than I'm prepared to exploit on the road, so I'm off to Millbrook next month for some advanced driver training in a Caterham and mine. Woohoo!!

How are you getting on with the tuning, PDT? Any takers??

I only know of a couple of Hartge cars still. However this was interesting, a solid 340hp from a bog stock car, on what are commonly regarded as the meanest rollers in the UK  :grin:

This has to be THE choice of performance car out there at the moment , if you have the funds and can tear yourself away from a Volkswagen! I reckon these will be very sought after when they are on the used market as well , they are outstanding figures.

I would happily have one.
They aren't that expensive. I think they look good. They are possibly the ultimate car for every day motoring?

Following this thread with interest... I'd love one, stick a map and zorst on it... ohhhhhhh..

Stick it in Eco mode on the motorway, and it'll happily do 40s... However spank it in Sport+ and it'll soon remind you its a blown I6  :grin:

I can't compare exactly, as they were on a different car. Certainly in terms of feel (stiffer sidewall) and bite. Ultimate grip may be about the same.

yeah awesome, but in fairness did do a few other mods at same time but am convinced the PSS have had the biggest difference
