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.

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

    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.

    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.
