As identified previously the first low cost, big reward part we wanted to buy were tires. Nick swiftly placed an order for a set of Yokohama Parada Spec 2 tires, which were fitted by an oh so suspect center in Dundee which we will never ever use again due to their complete incompetence. Anyway, we would be unable to test them out until February when the 1st track day of the year occurred, they did look the dogs danglies though :)
Another small but beneficial change was the purchase of a much smaller suede covered steering whee. The OEM Porsche one came from a cruise liner and rubbed on poor Russ's knees and was generally a bit tosh. £15 from eBay secured a nice second hand one and Nick went to work attaching it to the car. The result was immediate and positive a resounding improvement!
A quick service was the final act of love bestowed on the pig with the oil and air filters changed, and the brakes bled (once we had paid a man to replace the bleed nipples). There she lay parked up ready to attack the track.........
