Nah, you've not done anything to make it faster in the corners. All that power and a standard, wallowy chassis and suspension set-up Add some BC coilovers, front 22mm and rear 24mm Whiteline ARB's, solid rear links and a professional geometry alignment and you might be able to use all 310 ponies properly

Oh, and change the EBC pads for something better, they're $h!te Performance Friction, Pagid, Mintex or Ferodo. And if I am to be really picky, re-fit the OE recirc DV so it runs smoother.

3Inch Decat back to front exhaust custom made

I was being stupid... Your typo read "Toya"...ergo, Toyah (Wilcox)... ergo, her famous song "It's A Mystery"... Comprende?

Seriously, I had the Toyo T1-R and they were fine. I replaced them with the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric, and they are noticeably more sure-footed than the Toyos (esp. in slow, low-grip corners).

But for the price, I really dig the T1-R - punches above its weight so to speak.

Far too soft compund for the road.

We'll let you off - it is a bank holiday (yippeeee!) Sunday after all.
LOL

Indeed, I'm staring at my home cinema projector screen (on SN with cricket audio in the b/g!) like some kind of thick, open-mouthed zombie.
