I assume sent out. They are north wales so far far Way from me .
They have offers on tyres a lot so I'm always checking but the ad08r is a mega deal

Thinking the r888 will be better on the track and the yoko's on the road.

I need some rear ad08r - I was gonna get a full set of r888 but I might just get a rear pair for now, at that kind of price

I'm having to stop myself getting them now as the car needs other bits first and pointless putting new tyres on for it to sit there until end of march plus I sorned it in December as it's tax was up and I was busy with other stuff.

No! you just buy the resistor. It's not an MOT requirement to have the Airbag, and the light still functions normally. I have a resistor in mine, and one for each seatbelt pretensioners

I see that's how its done  s:) :) s:)  I've been browsing jjc for some and theres a few I like, for example  m http://www.jjcraceandrally.com/trackday ... 00mm-black m
im a bit of an omp fan on this build

Well I've made a list of stuff to do before my first track day of the year in march.

Front strut brace was the first. but theres issues annoying me like all the rusty bits under the frunk and surrounding plastics, its all surface but does my head in. im down to 11.4 stone now so should be quicker haha . put down the weights and went for cardio   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:  

I will change the tyres in the few weeks before the event, scrub them in with some fast road driving (at speed limit) of course.

Just got bored so fitted my sparco drinks system and ultra racing brace



But all the surface rust actually really bothers me maybe more than it should,considering it's a track slag

The rust was bugging me too, it's easy to tart it up if you want to, just a wire brush / flapper wheel, some rust treatment, primer and some topcoat  s:) :) s:)

what resistor is it Meeerrrk? i am going to need 1 fairly soon but didnt get 1 with my boss.

nice track car as well Stev3 looks nice and low on the tein springs, has the front strut brace made much difference?

Thanks tommy

I will find out how different it feels when it's back on the road Friday. It has been sorn since beginning December as I had lots on and went to the States beginning of jan. But now it's time to get her ready with new parts for the years events where I can attend

Friday evening I will have some time and take her out for a few legal speed blats across the gower peninsular and I'll have an answer as to what if any difference it makes.  s:mrgreen: :mrgreen: s:mrgreen:

It's a 2.2ohm airbag resistor. You need one for each airbag / item removed, including each seatbelt pretensioner
 Got mine off ebay, £1 each or something  s:) :) s:)

A few days ago I awoke her from her sleep and taxed her ready for more track abuse


And well, I've been driving it everywhere even though it's about a practical as chocolate sunglasses and a pain to get in and out of with any dignity .

Added pembrey circuit to march so after my other halfs birthday this weekend coming I'll crack on

Sorry mate but at your age if you can't get in and out with dignity then you need to see a doctor.  s;) ;) s;)
Maybe you should try an elise.  s:lol: :lol: s:lol:
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

My second favourite track, often overlooked by drivers due it's location but it's a must.
