Tyres tread, do you wanna use slicks on winter?
car looks great btw, you spent hundreds on it but I dont get you with tyres, maxis and other crap, dont tell me you ever push your car on corners or roundabouts with them.
l know tubbytommy is your friend- he bought car with everything done and changed one thing- brembos for d2 kit with standard pads, and h8s tyres falkens 452 wtf-i dont get you both.

What's wrong with falkens, I've run them for years as have many others - they provide a good balance between grip and value

I see, so your another one of tubbys fans then thanks for the advice or what ever you want to call it the maxis have been great and to be fair I'd use them again as I've had no problems at all with them and for the price they've been great value for money as for the slicks they're on there whilst I get a puncture repaired but then why am I justifying myself to you my car my money my choices

Roy looks a nice one fella. Bugs aren't to everyone's taste but I like them and with a few subtle changes they look great

Car looks amazing!!

Prefer the gold on black, shows how nice the wheels actually are, where as the black wheels dont photo too well(dont show the spokes), probably look better in the flesh though!!

Wish I had my wheels done gold now, but just had them done gloss black!!!

Got back last night after a long day at Cams. The lads worked hard all day to fit the hdi fmic which was a bit of a mare cutting the bumper bar.

Bumper cut and mesh fitted then Andrew Carr took the car out for the carberry map.

Few boost leaks which Brian sorted then back out and now the car drives amazing.

Dual map, anti lag (FUN), maffless, dump valve less, cars real smooth to drive and pick up/torque is so much better. Few pics from last night







Good wash this weekend and going to enjoy it now

Glad ya pleased pal, personally I wouldn't mess with the dv setup you have had it mapped with. Opinion's seem to vary on this but the car was mapped with certain airflow attained, by introducing the recirc you could alter the parameters somewhat IMO.

I am sure some people will say the recirc is just piping the boost back to pre turbo to reduce compressor stall but I wouldn't risk it.
