just that journey and session at combe seemed to take its toll on them probably more than i thought it would
are arent running correct geometry for them on track. You will be cooking the outside edges

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

I wont be venturing too far until i get a trailer setup
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

fair enough yeah, low roofline/boot. seen it in corsas and saxo's but theres more room with the flat hatch. trailer time!
