Price for leather interior : hmmmmmm ;)

Well I don't intend on sitting in them for hours on end anyway, but they are more comfortable than they look.

He's usually pimping about in a van.

Had a little drive of this the other day, expected the clutch to be quite unmanagable, but it really wasn't. Maybe slightly heavier than standard (or at least my standard one, as Foxy reckons mine is particularly light), but still very easy to control and manouvre .

what do you gain from fiting that?

Not a great deal TBH, faster launches due to a stronger clamping force in the clutch plate. Thats about it for me as im not putting any power through it to warrent the 4 paddle friction plate. But i got it because i can...... :P

this car is awesome, but i have never once seen you in crammy :P

shall have to keep an eye out like.

It spends its days sat on the drive, so you will probs never see me about

How are you finding the 888's? i found them to be such a vast improvement than normal road tyres it was like comparing night and day i was very pleased with mine

The R888's are a fantastic tyre, when you get them nice and hot they really perform very well.

I have also driven on Yoko AO48's and they are noticably better, but a lot more expensive. So the 888's are plenty fine for me!

I have yes, when we had lots and lots of rain last week i went out for a drive to test them. They are pretty good giving excellent levels of grip as long as you are very smooth. When provoked there is a lot of understear, but that is to be expected, it is very managable and like i say you have to push it.

Would'nt like to try them in standing water!!

Yes they are actually carbon, weighing in at an entire kilogram.

They dont need to be FIA approved, because they wont ever be entered into a race!
