Im liking them both but for different reasons
terrenis cause they look cool
pro3's cause they have epic tyres with a smaller tyre size which increases the acceleration pull

I like both, but sway towards the Pros for some reason.
Couple WIN sets of wheels though

I prefer the look of the 5 spoke ones but they look too small. you need them in 16s to make them perfect.

so that was the end of the first session

so out to the second session
theis was a good run tyres heated up and were excellent

Agree'd, 'guna splitters always look crap anyway.
What tyres were you on? I assume they're the track tyres if they needed to warm up?

bianca has thrown a hissy fit as ive got a new car!
she has decided to play up by breaking the window regulator system in the drivers door.
on investigating it it looks like the previous owner had grafted a non std part in there which I couldn't match for parts
so for the last week she has been living with wood chocking up the window
until I could visit Dangti6 to pick up a STD assembly to fit,
which i have now done
I must say the STD rivets that hold the motor is a pants idea but Rivnuts are a excellent invention which i highly recommend
need to get the window grommet to finish the job but it went back together well which makes a change

Today was a bit of a milestone for the six
took her out for a run as shes been a bit neglected recently, since the purchase of the new daily
today we filled her with momentum99 and rinsed the whole tank!
no cobwebs left in the girl and she still maked me grin
she has hit 130000 today
bought her in april 2013 @ 122700miles
so ive done 7300 miles in 20 months of owning it, 1500 miles of that was the trip to the nurburg ring Germany
she has a lot going for her and has plenty more to give roll on the new year

Im not going be going to the ring in 2015 as ive done that now, I maybe will go back at some point, but for 2015 we are taking a family holiday to the sun somewhere and maybe a few track days in this country

have decided to show the car some love
so have decided to give the paintwork a bit of a birthday as it was looking a little grey
ive been down through the drivers side now with the buffer and polish and she is looking a lot better,
ive also removed the side stripes stripped them and re painted them so they look a lot fresher and arnt showing big flakes of missing paint,
just the top front back and the other side left to do
sorry for the crap pictures someones nicked my good camera from the drive!
