Got to admit, that's probably the least likely thing I'd ever hear anyone say when modifying a car 😂

FYI These are the early version of the N1. Later versions have the tailpipes riveted into place

So I had 225/45/17 fitted today... PS4's for around £65 a corner, which was insane value. ATS still have the offer, combined with top cash-back and halifax banking. They are so much stickier... wow. Big big big difference. Not all positive, if anything the car feels a bit too stuck to the road. haha I know that doesn't sound like a bad thing but funnily enough it feels too safe now. But perhaps that's just as the tyres are brand brand new. As a whole I'm very happy, the car seems more responsive, faster and honestly going around corners is a blast... because really I didn't have to use my brakes much on the way home at all. Just absolute glued to the tarmac. I think if you don't push your car very hard (I do) you will find these tyres too sticky/too boring. But pushing my car on Lincolnshire backroads just wow... Also, wheels are confirmed to be 7.5" on performance pack @Lauren I looked at the rims and they also measured them. Interesting comment from ATS Euro was the 215's although recommended were too stretched on my 7.5" rim and funny enough they recommended the 225, as it would happen I ordered 225 anyway... When he put the 225s on he commented how the sidewalls were straight like they were supposed to be. Whereas on the 215s they were too stretched. Furthermore, the wheel arches are improved. This is on stock springs, and the wheel gap on the front and back is notably different! Very happy overall, just a small negative that the car is "too sticky" haha. But very happy. I'll give it another very spirited drive tomorrow and give you an update for those that are interested in 225s

A bit of autosol metal polish will have those tips shining lovely. The decay pipe along with the n1 is going to be about as loud as an 86 can get as you have 0 muffler and basically a straight pipe all the way through. The cold start unless you get it mapped out will be very very loud. Sent from my COL-L29 using Tapatalk

They are Prospect R-Spec Step Range Gauges, I think [emoji848] Block8Head Pod for 3x 60mm Gauges, but they also sell sizes for 52mm Gauges, along with 1x and 2x Gauge Pod Units [emoji41] The 60mm Gauges were between £65 to £85 each, although they were slightly cheaper because I used the RX-8OC Discount Code that we have [emoji117] The Block8Head was £113.00 I think [emoji848] The Passenger Side Pod Unit was £200.00 from Fensport [emoji117] The whole lot came to something in the region of £800.00 including all the Sensors and Sandwich Plates fitted, but you do get what you pay for at the end of the day [emoji13] I find this all incredibly useful on trackdays [emoji117]

Fitted the third brake light lowering kit. It was all fairly straightforward - probably the trickiest bits are removing and refitting the parcel shelf itself. Looks more OEM than OEM imho.
