What have you done to your car today?

Anyone kind enough to answer my question? Do you think there is enough rubber on the old tyres to last a track day?

Want to know so I know if to take them home or leave them with the garage to deal with.

Cheers
 
Yeah I would buy some extra cheapo alloys for them and only use them on the track.

Mrs as asked me what I want for valentines day, might have to get a track day out of her :)
 
Let a garage pick my car up from base and replace the rear trailing arm then do a 4 wheel alignment after a kerb got in my way in the snow. £250 as the trailing arm is from a breakers.

Next up:
Get all 4 wheels refurbed

As he tends to dump cars after 6 months (and it's going on a sheddy Rover) then actually fitting some tyres with good grip and decent wear rates is probably a waste of money.

Awesome logic you have there. So despite the car sharing most suspension parts with the Civic / Integra you'd put cheaper tyres on because of a badge?
Then not forgetting the ZS suspension setup allows for quicker cornering than a Civic (pretty hard) so more grip is likely needed.

Makes perfect sense... :p

So why were you looking at fitting Nangkangs? :confused:

Also, whilst replying, could we have a picture of the HID's in reflectors, I am sure everyone would like to see them :)
 
I have failed to get my tyres fitted today.... dropped into 1 garage and they said £30 to fit each tyre.

£60 for 10mins work. Ha... (just wanted to get 2 fitted, with car being on stands)

The gay mobile will getting used for another day.

just close your eyes. the last car you saw with hids on reflectors is likely to still be burned onto the back of your retinas. true story

I thought the Nankangs were OK, however obviously not so - hence asking. :)

I'll get a pic of the HIDs when I'm at home, at work at the moment.

£30 for each tyre ?
surely its £10 max to change tyre, balance and old tyre disposal ?
