There is only one compound I am interested in an that is the XP10, like the Pagid RS15 it apparently has very good cold bite and extreme tolerance of heat. Basically the exact combination I need for Time Attack.

Gayyyyyy :lol:

It certainly sounded brilliant at the Dyno day. Can't wait til you get the racing liveries on and the aero :twisted:


You laugh. It was painful :lol: I think I am going to get a new exhaust so I will get them to try and make it not as loud. It is one of my major concerns that the car is louder than 105 DB :x I am thinking something like a custom 2.75" with some meaty silencers?

Livery is something I am looking into. The car is getting its rust chopped out and its paint sorted in January so I will be able to get something on the car soon. I just don't know what :lol: Maybe just a big LudeGeneration on each side? Some ideas would be good.

The dimensions of my splitter are in the wiki for anyone who want to make their own copy.

Please wait til September for paint. Then Union flag the bonnet. Do it for the lulz.


Or y'know you could go with a simple LG design. Are you going for a colour change or keeping the same? I have to say after seeing mart and Phil's 4Gs in the flesh that graphite colour is ace (Phantom pearl?).

:lol:

Unfortunately not as I have my carbon bonnet to go on. I am not changing the colour as that will be way too expensive and the money is better used elsewhere on the car. The only reason the car is being put in the shop is for preservation. Get the rust out and get the paint sorted to protect the car.
