They're ProRace 1.2S or 1.5 wheels (they're called 1.2S on the TD website but the boxes have 1.5 on them) with 38mm offset and a 73mm centerbore - the wheels came with a fitting kit of 4 57.1-73mm plastic hubrings and 20 M14x1.5x28mm tuner bolts. The tyres are the195/55R15 Yokohama Advan A048 semi-slicks that I've been running (and killing :() for the last 4 track days. Once these have gone hard, I'll get 205/50R15 semi-slicks fitted for a bit more grip.

I haven't fitted them as yet but may do for a cruise before Sandown to break in the latest replacement (or I may run 3 of the Conti Premium Contacts with just one Advan).

No probs, Scotty. Troy, Paul & I will be at Sandown on the 15th of April.
I won't need the spacers, though - I didn't end up getting the 45mm offset wheels so they'll be fine as is.

I'm pretty stumped as to how it could have happened really :confused:

Possibly one of those tiny white stones used to mark the road divisions somehow got into the pad groove? :confused:

Finally, after more than a year, I got around to painting my Cup Edition bumper. Here's a quick sneak peak whilst the bumper is being flatted.

Where'd you get it? Proper plastic or fibreglass?

It arrived beginning of Jan 2011, OEM part. ;-)

Walked out the front door to find that my father had decided to nudge my car with his Subaru Outback.

I've now got a 12 inch rub mark down the side of my driver side rear quarter panel (just behind the door) that i'll have to cut and polish out.

Not impressed

Right about..............................here↓

ouch, that's a bit of a bummer - i hope it's just superficial/ surface/ on-top-of-clearcoat kind of stuff, and that it's easy to get out.

New dogbone mount got installed.

While that was being done, however, I took an RS6 for a spin.

Farqing hell.

I need a TTV8 in my life.

Oh, the new mount is good too.

1. id make your dad pay to fix the ding
2. jealous as hell re: RS6 drive
