Pagid RS29s turned up today so i can finally lose the Ferodo DS2500s
Maybe i might be able to drive it properly now....

Anyone wanna buy some DS2500s for AP Racing CP7040 calipers?

Spoken to Matt @ Simpson's this morning.
The system is 2/3's complete, its built so far up to the rear diff housing and the "S" bend is being made at the moment.
They have run it as tight and level to the underbody as possible and added another hanger around my rear beam to support it even tighter. This should hopefully make it solid as possilbe to the car.
Matt said he's really chuffed with how its looking. Judging from seeing his work and that this guy is more **** than me when it comes to stuff being right. I think im gonna be pleased.
Due to transport there etc im hoping to collect it by the end of next week.
I cant wait to see it

I dont have to take pics do i? Ive posted enough pics of it lol.
Best of all, it fits perfect and i must admit i was slighgtly concerned about the blind spot viewing but im sat inb it now and you can easily see either side of the head restraints
Its so comfy i might just keep it as a computer chair

Cheer Mike however i already have a carbon RECARO.
My new Pro Racer SPA weighs only 6kg as opposed to the 10kg Sparcos listed. Either way the Sparcos look like a good buy for the right money.
Thanks for keeping me in mind though fella. Appreciated
