Don't forget the "unknown" sports exhaust

[Spike]

I;m liking that last pic

[happy-kat]

You did the Ring on Nankang tyres

I like the curve of the rear spoiler, didn't realise that one came with a third brake light option.

yep I did Kate and tbh.... theyr absolutely awesome tyres..... i'll be replacing them soon with the same ones

they don't stock the spoiler with the brakelight anymore either lol

lol @Chris... nope, that's next to be replaced lol.... just had the coolant changed b4 the ring and 4 got to order new header tank.... but unlike Andy I'll be fitting the new one myself

[AndyW]

I can vouch for the tyres, in the dry and in the wet. I'd even consider them as my next tyre choice and I'm running Toyo's!

Cheeky moo! Well now I've seen Chris do it, I'd feel confident in doing it myself next time

thats well nice zara you should be pleased with your self

[zara014]

I am mate thanks very much....

the engine bay, and interior plastics Ive done myself the bodywork (paint) was corrected by Andy

oh and just put 2 new tyres on the front and yes you guessed it... Nankangs....did the meet route on Saturday after having them fitted etc.. and not one slide!! jobs a good un!

[warrenpenalver]

interesting how you are doing well on the nankangs. How they compare to toyos or similar?? they used to have a shocking reputation so obviously theyve cleaned up thier act.

Be good if they are better than toyos especially considering they are considered a budget brand.

[zara014]

well Warren Ive done all meets on Nankangs...im an enthusiastic driver as some know... and Ive done the Nurburgring enthusiastically also... enough said I think lol

car is still in one piece and so is me

[Midnight Blue]

I've used them and had no problems.

How much do they charge for a full machine polish, Zara?

The pic in the snow is awesome

Andy did it for me Pat

Hes just done Jamies aswell (Zenithus) think youve met him lol.... done a fantastic job on both...
If you PM him im sure hed give you a good price

thanks

[AndyW]

Warren, I'm running on Toyo's and when Zara and I went for a drive across the Yorkshire Dales, all I can say is I had to push my car very hard to keep up with her around the corners.

Whether that's just down to bravery I'm not sure as Zara has no fear about what's around corners, but I would definitely consider Nankangs for my next set of tyres.

Wet weather grip is extremely impressive too - they just think it's dry tarmac!

[Midnight Blue]

(Zenithus) think youve met him lol....

Yep ...... he got me lost!! (as if I needed help!!!)

Andy is too far away ..... is no prob, the new kat will get the Megs 3 step DC attack from me!!
