Hello p1carl

When we spoke after the last Northants run, you will remember me saying how great it looked in the mirrors of my car. Very impressive.

What the hell are those tyres eek They don't look like Corsa's????

Is this a new plan to stop the slippy slidey moments?

Looking good though Carl. Shame about the building site location wink

looks mint mate. cant honestly see a single chip. Nice mint allys too, although it takes some commitment to keep them so clean inside and out. As i use mine everyday i can i have no chance. Although i do wipe and wax every second day.

So what are the tyres and how do they perform on an M400. Are they more water friendly etc etc etc????? All I can see from the pics is P Zero so that makes them Pirelli but which derivation?

Cheers

Pretty good thanks, I got myself a 964C2 with a few trick bits on it now. Hopefully get out for a run in it sometime soon although this month is a very busy one!

Car looked awesome.

The rears are Asimmetrico's and the fronts are Corsa's - they were on the car when I bought it. They seem okay but not sure just how grippy they are going to be in the wet yet.

That's good news, what's your impression of the Porker?
We'll have to see if we can catch up soon.

Absolutely superb car sits well on coilovers and RS geometery, its going to take some doing if I'm to be drawn away from the Porka marque now. Its pretty nippy and enough for me to risk jail every time I go out in it.
