I went for a sprited drive the other day in the countryside. I approached a bend a tad "hot", so hit the anchors pretty hard, then realised I don't have ABS fitted

Ended up locked the front right wheel badly, creating a huge cloud of white smoke. Managed to scrub enough speed to take the corner ok but then, after changing my pants , I noticed significant wobble through the steering wheel and a rythmic sounds coming from the front wheels.

Anyway, after inspecting the front tyres I've discovered a massive flat spot on the front-right tyre - gutted. What started out as a jaunt in the country is now going to cost £100-£200 to replace one or two of the front tyres. ****.

On a more positive note, I've hopefully secured a 3" full decat Milltek exhaust from a fellow SN'er

Just need the induction kit, uprated turbo acuator and a map tweak and "hello 370 bhp"

 

milltek bad luck with the tyres though you gonna change the two?

 

Bad luck mate Lucky you dropped your speed enough tho

Changing the two would be a better idea, so they're the same tread on either side The modding bug has hit again

 

Wow you must have been travelling. At least you made the bend though i suppose Rich. Full 3" Miltek....thats gonna be loud.

 

Remember to mark the pace notes ready for next time fella

 

i seen you along the m4 this morning going newport way in 50mph roadworks,i was in the passat so i didnt wave.bad news on the tyres but if youve got to buy try turbo deans mate grants tyres blackwood or cwmcarn to be procise done me a really good deal last week but as you know about 4 days to late.good news on the exhaust though.

 

Thanks for the support and info guys, tried to buy a single Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta today but there's a supply shortage and nobody's got any in stock.

I had to drive to Reading today and the steering wobble is unbearable so phoned Peak Performance in Llandow in the end to see what they'll charge for fitting one if I order it from mytyres.

They offered me a decent price on two Bridgestone Potenza RE050A'a for £99 each fitted so had them done this afternoon.

£200 is a lot to pay out for arsing about mind!!! That'll teach me, I'm sure there's a moral to this story but I won't learn it in a hurry

 

Rich, I saw you Monday afternoon coming from Llandow to the A48. I was in the Treg. Cars looking lovely mate.

 

Goddamn it Rich! You trashing my old car already haha.

I've got my speed back in the form of a Ducati 916

All the best mate and take it steady

 

Don't shoot me for not being a purest but what would intail fitting the anti lock system on the car ? at the end of the day it is a safety feature.

 

Gazz300 - yeah, I guessed it was you after you'd passed me - sorry for not waving!



RICH S202 - LOl, yeah sorry Rich but she does like to be driven hard from time-to-time Just bought a 3" full decat Milltek, induction kit and turbo actuator next then a map tweat planned with Bob Rawle.

I do like Ducati's and looked at a GSX-R 750 myself recently (blue and white, obviously, to match the Spec C colours ) How's things, hope they're ok...?

Silver Scooby Sport - I've wondered that myself to be honest, bit wierd driving a car with no ABS, especially in the wet

 

Are you having a cold air feed pipe from bumper
