Very very nice!!! :bravo:
Tell us:
1. A review on those tyres :)
2. How did legacy refurb those headlight lenses? Prodcuts? Process?

They definitely grip way better than the crap Kenda rubbish that was on there before.

Quiet, grippy and no balancing issues. The sidewall is quite ridged so even though the ride feels a little harder, it is extremely stable.

Cant comment on anything in the wet, but the car is now actually not that well balanced in high speed cornering (100+), because of the crap rear tyres. It turns in extreamly sharp, but then it starts stepping out in the rear. Even worse on a trailing throttle.
I did not expect anything else, but the balance will just have to wait, because I don't have any intend on replacing as-new rear tyres atm


Legacy will have to elaborate on the lens restore

And please tell everybody here why you used Hi-Tech?

Because the wheels are actually round after they were finished with them.

In the past I have tried 3 other repair shops with different wheels, and none of them could ever get the wheels perfect again.

Hi-Tech is definitely in a different league

Breakfast run seems to be in order after this and before I get rid of the 1-er.

increase the stiffness of the front dampers to compensate for the bad back tires this should help re balance the car :)

car did not look bad before... now it looks brand new :rollsmile:

It was the day after we came back from a 1200km roadtrip.

Those were specially imported bugs from another province and alpine road dirt:rollsmile:

Got caught in the rain over the weekend and I can say with confidence that these tyres are not really suited to extreme wet roads.

Low speed grip was pretty impressive on damp roads, but easily started aquaplaning at 100km/h on the highway when really wet.
