adds to the experience.
dont get wet at all so long as you stay above 30.

Wondered what you were up to! What polybushes are they? Powerflex?
I still haven't checked whether they actualy put poly's on mine  feels proper tight and the car goes mental on bumpy roads, so i'm guessing they're fitted.

mugen compliance bush as powerflex ones are meant to be poo but rest are powerflex. doesnt feel harsh or anything but i do soften the coils for road use. everything lathered in grease so easy to adjust. Just to note the powerflex are meant to be greased yearly otherwise they don't perform as well as they should. which doesnt bother me as i love fucking around

Heard nothing but good things about those tyres. My RSR's have just developed a crack in the front too, will keep an eye on them for now.
