I woke up this morning and was like christ on a bike im burnt
Got the usual ribbing at work today 
My car of the day has to be the GDI clio. He really was giving it is all 
Fad/warren I stayed after you left to watch the final session and that 197 was fucked
Him and his mate in the nova were looking at it when I went past. Sounded like it had a miss fire and cut out every time he tried to pull away Obviously gave it a bit too much that day
Good pics there jm 
Drives supercharged Tec with torque

but luckerly i was driving a  quite scary when your going 70mph around that first corner with cars spinning and swearving in front of you!!!!!
not bad for a standard 1.6 lacking power and eml on, still pasted a vxr vectra, and that crappy honda thing. would of minced that skyline with the tb's
toyo were good for 4 laps, then were crap will never get again.
was close though, nobs drive clio's - dont you agree fad?

yup... get some real track tyres
they'll still go off if you use them properly, but they have less sidewall flex, tread etc to move around and heat up

got 2 yokohama advan semi slicks at home, but dont think they will clear my coilovers due to 50 profile and are wider
even nankangs iv had before were better! and that saying something, yokohama a359's arnt bad, dont make them any more though

done that before, which 15" decent tyres on front and 14" skinny sport wheels on rear, made things interesting
