General more money
Just an update really, I have just ordered two TOYO PROXES T1-R (the new tyre with reinforced wall) from mytires, a snip at £71 in my 17" flavour, many thanks to Dave for that top site, Kwik fit wanted £120 :bang:
Also, Just got the car back after a suspension refurb, eibach springs and new Wishbones. God dang it feels like a different car! I don't believe the difference it has made, it feels like a go kart, as opposed to the wallowy piece of feaces it was before. I just didn't know what a sorted coop felt like until now I guess.
Right, out for a thrash now, let's see how well she corners. The current tyres look like slicks so I'll probably be posting up some crash pics in an hour or so

I reckon the Toyos will be bald in 6000 miles...
I had suspension refurbed shortly before my car went off the road. It was a bit better, but mine must have been not too worn before.
Who you going to get to fit tyres? And how much will it cost?

6000 miles? I'll be lucky The last set have lasted 4000. Was just driving around and a crunching noise could be heard from the front left wheel. I pulled over and checked the bolts and they were hand tight loose This has happened before using this garage (they denied it) so I will be over there tommorow to have a word. No doubt it's the cars fault again
Oh to answer your question H, Andy's tyres charge £5 a corner to fit tyres. I may get them tracked as well which is another £20.
Ah what the heck, it's a money based thread, let's run through my expenditure in this coupe month:
Wishbones - £100
Fit wishbones - £160
New bolts - £20
2 new tyres - £142
Tracking - £20
Fit tyres - £10
So not too bad this month at just over £400 quid. Did I just say that

If you've ever got money to burn - or plenty space on a credit card
- get yourself a coupé.
