Not tried the F1s. The reviews I read narrowed it down to Continental Sport Plus & the Michelin Sport 4S. Of those 2, the 4S are supposed to be marginally better esp with wear.
The car came with some no name budget tyre that had crap traction in the dry & were horrible in the wet.
The new rubber has made a world of difference.
What are the F1s replacing?

Will do. This will be visit No. 4. I think the exhaust guy is getting sick of seeing my face so hoping to resolve the issue this weekend.
Long live the farts

I'd like to say faster but I think it was more the case of me driving it harder to hear the DSG cracks.

Did you notice many gains from just the downpipe mate?

Insurance renews tomorrow and it’s dropped £1000 [emoji33] (yes I paid a lot for the first year) worth it? Yes lol
And these arrived today
Fresh rubber, places were quoting me £155 to supply and fit, managed to get them online at MyTyres.co.uk for £122 per tyre and my mate is gonna fit them for £20, bonus

Did you have Eagle F1’s on before? I have heard really good things about the Michelin Pilots but just wanted to stick with the same.

I had a reason to believe they were Pirelli and not Michelin haha.. Yeah I’ve had F1s on mine since I bought it so don’t really know any different, does handle really well in the dry and wet so I can’t complain!

Trip No. 4 to the exhaust shop done.
The new muffler is still bedding in so the sound is not what it will be.
Will post a clip in a few days time.
So far, the note is louder & a little more DSG burps from trip No. 3 not nowhere as loud as it was with the original res.
Suspect it's because of the age of the original.

Youll love it

I’m in Cambridgeshire mate, I’ve had a look at a few places like Rockinham, Silverstone etc..
I did see a thread about new brake lines, pads and fluid, is there any you recommend?

Hey Daz
what do you think about this? I'm thinking of buying it together with an exhaust cutter and do it myself. (clamps are included)

Quick question ... does the exhaust sound louder when the car is cold?
