Have you had a proper setup Steve? Corner weighting? Well worth getting done now and putting a fast road setup on the car. Of course the tyres are going to wear, but on the road it will be minimal wear. they are bloody noisy though

you need a set of road wheels, chuck the wheels with 888's in the boot and swap when you get there.

youd struggle to get 4 wheels and tyres in there tbh with all the cage etc, and if you somehow managed to shoehown them in there would be a mission getting them back out



plus sounds a bit gay but i dont want wheels rolling around my boot with all that brake pipe work in there, nor do i fancy fucking around at the side of a track changing them

the proper solution is to trailer it, and that is the next step for me really, in the meantime il be sticking to localish tracks
