Whats the issue? are they not lasting.

But remenber T1r's are cheap and cheerfull.

I dont expect them to last, its just that id rather not spend 90 quid a corner.........but then thats the price you pay for fun.

Cheep n cheerfull you say........yeah but I have had set's of Michelins (nearly killed me and me bank balance), RE050's Bridgestones (no feedback at all) and 2 sets of T1r's (best by far for grip, can put up with noise and a bugger to balance at times).........suppose I shouldnt complain (you did see the grin after the weekend run Alan)

Im sorry to say that besides Scotland, Wales has the best driving roads (open to abuse)

Your meant to have ya legs crossed for yogic flying.

After taking the shot I viewed it and couldnt believe my luck, it looked a beaut on the small screen, could take that another fifty shots and not be as good, reckon our leader could be good at the olympics.......

Had a horid 2 days,

Decided to swop all the water hoses and a new radiator and fit a thermstat to the oil cooler,

Shifting the 19 year old hoses and rad was a ball ache, had to take the charger off to get at some of them.

all fitted and undertray on ,oil filled new coolant added and she fired up ok,

left it idling for 5 minutes whilst checking for leaks...all ok

took it fo a bit of a blast, at a little over 60 mph up hill the oil temp was just starting to show

and then the oil presure plumeted down to nowt.

A quick look under the bonnet showed a loose hose to the oil cooler "DOH" only opened when the oil was hot and I lost it all.

Helen the friendly rescue brought me 5 lires of spare oil and i finger tightened the hose just to get me home.

2 hours latter it all done and several standing starts and a few trips to high speed showed all to be OK

So tommorow we will see.....

I like Lars's runs for some reason...Oh yeah they are fun to drive at "sensible and safe speeds".

So it would be a "sensible and safe" idea to leave the co-driver at home
