First impressions of the 125

[clip]

Sharkie, didn't get prices on the body kit, but they'd be happy to help I'm sure! I'd like to lower mine around 45-50mm. Don't know anyone that could help do you?

...and as for "Now imagine 190kw/420NM with the upcoming APR chip" - holy snappin' duck ****!!! Guy hasn't mentioned that to me - yet.

BTW, how do they get such huge torque figures? We were talking about this on the weekend, and me and all my numb nut mates (of which I include myself as one) couldn't explain it.

As for the tyres, I ended up with the Maxxis Victra MAZ1's. I've never had any experience with them, and to be honest I wasn't happy about it when I was doing the negotiation. I was given a few alternatives, nothing that I was familiar with. The Goodyears that I wanted weren't in stock and had to be ordered (of course I wanted it all done and dusted then and there). Anyway, I held off for a day and phoned a friend that is still in the business and he said the MAZ1's are a good choice. He said they rated very well in a tyre shootout recently - not that I take much of that on board! To be honest though, I'm not sure about them yet even though they are their premium performance tyre. After I'm happy the car is run in, and I'm more comfortable with it, I'll be able to get a better idea about them - and the traction from the 4Motion!

Size is 245/40 R19. But I'm calling the tyre guy tomorrow because my speedo is out to buggery - reading 108 at 100k's, 119 at 110 etc. Not sure if he got the calculation wrong or that's what the error was before. I suspect it may be the car though as it seemed to be reading high when I drove it with the 16"s, just that I didn't check it with them on. Anyone else noticed this?
