Yes they aren't cheap...

I had the choice between Yoko's and Hankook Z212 RS2... I've choosen Yoko's because I want the best for it. I only drive it in week ends so I think it's a good choice for enjoy it ! :D

I have installed the steering wheel today and it REALLY looks better than the old one, even if it's slighty lighter than interior :D Airbag's havent' exploded, so I think I've done a good job :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yes, I have ordered slilencer hanger ( Pumabuild goodies ) But I think it is too large...

I've received Powerflex rear beam bushes. I'm worry about fitting... Is It hard to install it on the car ?

Good evening there !

Some updates about my new sticky tires :lol: Absolutely brillant ! :lol: The car is more responsive,and it's a real pleasure to drive now ! I've also poly-bushed the rear beam and I think it's the first thing I would have to make... I have re-found a real balance in the rear train, which is good !

Bad point, like others track days tires, they're a lil bit noisy... But if you only use your car at week end, It's not a bad choice...really ! :twisted:
