My New (to me) 1M.

Awesome photos! Quite a few 1M's in scotland it seems. Maybe I'll see you up there some time when I visit my uncle in West Hill, Aberdeen! I was thinking the car would benefit being lowered with springs but people have put me off with the stock shocks/ lowering springs argument.

Just back from an awesome few days at Spa & the Nurburgring. The car performed really well, I love the thing. It's now fitted with Eibach springs which improve the right height a little but not by much sadly. I did have 12mm front/15mm rear spacers installed but they scrubbed all the time. Ah well. Best move I made was switch to Michelin Pilot Super Sports, they are much better than the PS2's imo.

Trackday at SPA was incredibly slippery. The morning was called off due to the snow and in order to clear the snow for lunchtime they simply covered the track in salt...not much use! The tarmac was almost like ice and as a result the car was sliding out at speeds under 30mph which made things interesting. I have GoPro footage however the sunlight beam off the snow means all you see is white out the windscreen.

Few photos from the day.









Monday we headed onwards to the Nurburgring where thankfully the weather was much better albeit 0c, sunglasses on all day. GoPro footage still bouncing beams from the snow however sadly! Managed an 8:40 BTG, 2nd visit and 9th overall lap.

Couple photos and footage from the day below.

Managed to get some track time at my local track, Knockhill. Was a good day however heavy rain all the way through! Typical Knockhill weather to be honest.

Still really impressed with the car and quickly racking up the miles! That's me done 12k in the 6 months of ownership! Need to get a grip really.

Impressive driving under rain What are the tires?

By the way, next time when you have a passenger on track and recording, please find another location for that camera, I feel like my eyes popped because of following every shake of his helmet!

Cheers! Currently running Michelin pilot super sports. Definitely have to sort out the location of the mount next time! I can relate to you following the helmet haha.
