Removed wheels today to remove tyres from last track day as you can see they went off big time !





Next was to remove the NDX pads ready for delivery of the carbotech XP10's





A few more for the album

Lime green centres fading back to white at the edges? lol.
What steering wheel are you using & where is it from? Did you bother with a quick release boss?

Yeh right. !!! Come to think of it !

The steering wheel was from Dave garret on here sabelt with 70 mm dish feels great

As for a quick release I had one but wasn't happy with the feel of it suppose the lifeline would be a better option than the one I bought
