AO48 - a good tyre in the wet I have found but you have to get to know their limits like with any brand of tyre and that can be only judged by yourself.
Standing water can be tricky and should be approached more cautiously.

This was one of the race at wet brands hatch -[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mK5V6oSaaEk [/media]

It was on worn A048 and you can clearly see at the beginning of the video both Evos pulled away from me and after that I stayed at 3rd until the engine went bang.

Look at Paddock hill when the car wheel spinning up the hill and wheel spinning at the last corner. It was really wet tho and with a small river running across at the bottom at paddock hill and at turn 4 before the final corner.

You take different line in the wet, have to watch out where is the driest line and you will get the grip

Thanks Marios

I'm bored at work and wondering "what next"

It's pretty much perfect as it is, but I can't helping a 400bhp rotrex kit would be very amusing on track, to keep up with those GT3 things Actually I just like the feeling of speed, so i'm not really fussed about overtaking stuff.

I also have some Prodrive wheels to go on for road use, but they will also allow a BBK if I did SC it.

Problem is, £1500 for brakes and £4500 for a blower sends the cost of the car into orbit (ie what I sold the Exige for) but it would be fun


Hmmm...

As long as you're prepared to strip the car to get your money back, or not to get your money back - why not It's clearly something you want to do - you could spend that on a shit kitchen, the wife could blow it on store cards .... at least with this you get to enjoy it and it can all pretty much be sold for a fair proportion of what it cost.

I agree with the above- the S has reached it's limit in terms of NA'd mods. Get a turbo and be done with it or sell the S and buy a GTR or GT2
