Small update

Took the Tuwinis off and put them into storage for winter tonight. They were completely minging with road filth etc when I took them off and I didn't have a chance to clean then up so will be heading back down with plenty of product to make a good go of them this weekend. I don't want to leave them too long as the dirt will get into the lacquer and be a nightmare to get off!!

Put the clones back on, and oh my god the ride is Sooooo much smoother!! It's not nearly as super sharp due to the soggy sidewalls of the spec2s, but the trade off is it doesn't track the road which is a bit tiring in winter when I'm not trying to exploit the added camber...

Having had a brief chat with Ruan, and having put a few miles on the car last weekend, I think it may be bump steering at the back slightly on hard cornering, so may be looking at trimming the bumpstops.

That, and I need to look at my ball joints. In complete honesty its Ruan who's suggested both of those, but I do feel particularly today it was a lot more skittish than normal. Might've been the wet roads, but it just felt like it was tracking the road a lot more than usual...

I'll keep this updated as regards the ball joints as there's not much point in buying meyle hd stuff if they're not gonna last any longer than boggo shit. These have only been on for a few thousand miles...
