Remember you do have to slow down slightly for corners now!


Sorry, newbie question, Rain Experts?

Don't worry, this isn't the sort of forum where you get your head bitten off for asking a question :D

I used to run yokohama a021r tyres which were fantastic but lasted me only 18 months and at £450 a set they were working out very expensive. Tyre choice is limited on 14 inch and even 13 inch wheels now, so uniroyal Rain Experts are one of the few softer tyres that seem to work well on Sevens (and Furys I hope)

So far I'm very impressed, a lot of the improvement comes from the weight loss, the suspension isn't having to work so hard to keep the wheel under control - remember the Pug wheels & tyres made up well over 10% of the weight of the car. I'll see how they feel on a blatt tomorrow.

When I ran the exhaust all the way to the back I had in mind that it would exit through the body like a T70, but I chickened out & sent it through an existing hole in the rear valence.

Today I came over all Max Power & changed it to how I envisioned it in the first place.

I need to take it all down & enlarge the holes in the body enough to fit some rubber edge trim, but it's working for now :D

Those aren't wheelie castors under the nearside rear - although .......
