How do you find the semi slicks for road use?

Also -->

To be honest, I've only been using them since mid April when I bought the car.

I found the A048's surprisingly grippy, in the wet even with the TC off it needed a fair amount of revs in first to light up the rears, I'm now on the Toyo 888's and first impressions are similar performance but without the expense of the A048's (~£700 a set).

Deep standing water is an issue, but reducing speed according to the conditions helps. The main problem will come the winter with low temps < 6 or 7 degrees C but I'll be buying another set of wheels with Pirelli Snowsports or equivalent by then.

Have you sorted out the intercooler yet Neil?

Like the new exhaust. I can't remember, but what was the old style tailpipe like?

-Neil- · 24 Jul 2009 at 21:51

The old exhaust tip was the same, just smaller in diameter and length of the box.

The intercooler is still a tight fit and rubs slightly on the engine cover, I think it will be sorted once the hinge on the engine cover has some spacers on it to lift the engine cover at the front.

Cheers guys, once remapped it should be a bit quicker. Most who have the remap say 3rd feels like 2nd and so on, can't wait

Neil.

I love how modest this sounds.

*yes here is my 280bhp 950kg exige S, its nippy*

That Exige is awesome

I like the elises and exiges to think 'thats nice', but Simon has it right, yours (Neil) looks fantastic :]

What makes that car is the colour and the stripes. It stands out much more like that and for that reason I love it. Suits the shape completely.

Morba · 26 Jul 2009 at 18:10

yeah agree with that, even down to the black wheels (which i normally really do not like!)

Sin_Chase · 27 Jul 2009 at 00:25

Exige looks stunning, lovely job.

I attempted a night time "Artistic shot"

Long exposure time gave far more flare on the rear lights than wanted. would have liked the ring shape they actually are but ah well!

InvaderGIR · 27 Jul 2009 at 08:48

You wanted to show off your ring?

Sin_Chase · 27 Jul 2009 at 09:49

You cant see me bending over in the darkness? Shot failed

Just looking at the seats in the Exige gives me a semi.

The final pic I got of my 306

The new playtoy

Needs a wash, polish and wax but I need a decent day and a day off work to do it. Question to you guys, I think it would look better with the rear windows having a tint on them, would people agree or am I just being chavy.

iaind · 28 Jul 2009 at 13:46

On a 3 door it would be OK, on a 5 door it would look crap.

LukeTW · 28 Jul 2009 at 15:14

Eww a 5 door with tinted windows.

platypus · 28 Jul 2009 at 16:45

Getting this beauty on Saturday.

Quite lengthy list of what I want to do to it, but I'm just happy getting it for now!

Janesy B · 28 Jul 2009 at 16:48

Tracking is out

Dup · 28 Jul 2009 at 16:54

That curb nearly dwarfs it

Looks tidy.

Firestar_3x · 28 Jul 2009 at 17:44

Needs better 15" - 16" wheels BADLY!

Looks quite tidy though.

DM · 28 Jul 2009 at 17:44

Looks a nice clean one.
