What have you done to your car today?

Serious downgrade on the tyres, Star Performers are rubbish. E for economy and B for wet grip so they don't use less fuel AND they don't grip. Poor decision.
 
Found out that there is actually a limit as to how fast it'll go. (Yes it was on an empty road and no I am not going to divulge where that road was).

Now I've done it, I doubt I'll ever do it again.

And the limit was ------- ??? Which motor do u have ?
 
STUBOY, cheers. They are WH12 schwarz. Great service from MyTyres. The things weren't supposed to be here till next tues :D

Steve8. Must admit I was concerned myself having always had PZero but they were the only tyre that could be supplied with that wheel. If I went down to 18 I had a choice. I was comforted some by http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/accessories-tyres/97656/star-performer-winter-spts-as-tyre-review

Can always swap back to PZero should I feel worried.
 
That's a terrible review and backs up what I thought, I'd have bought without tyres to get the choice. Your car, your extra braking distance though so you pays your money and makes your choice.
 
Ill run em for a while and make my own assesment which ill post up here. The roads round my way will certainly test them. Will give it a couple of months then report back.... hopefully not from a ditch :cry:
 
A successful day today:

Got the back calipers finished off, not the best picture but you get the idea, new centre caps also...

I also made the most of having the rear wheels off and got the roof drains checked and washed the rubber ends.
 
I converted this lot

into this

I'm very pleased at my new found ability to drive around very steadily and sedately ! :)
 
Love the grill work boys. Gives me ideas for mine. I thought that seen as though the interior of mine is showing its miles I would while away some time waiting for the rain to clear and have a bash at this vinyl thing.

The original were very tired, looking although in that pic they look pretty good.



I like the contrast here. Was going to do the whole centre console but not sure now.
