I don't have much confidence with standing water and the tread pattern on the Toyo tires. I may also just be a wuss :shrug:My Exige handles surprisingly well in the rain, then again I don't have those 100+ extra horses yet!
I drove my Exige S in the rain for two week as my daily driver (Corvette C6) was on jack stands due to a shock failure. I was on the stock A048s (which were bald), which are even less predictable.I don't have much confidence with standing water and the tread pattern on the Toyo tires. I may also just be a wuss :shrug:
I'll probably get a second set of wheels with better rain tires at the end of summer.

I have no timed lap data to say it does. But I spent money on it so my brain tells me yes, huge improvement over stock.does that rear air diffuser really help a lot?
I found it easy, although I've taken calipers off my GTI a few times before. The calipers are pretty darn simple, two pistons and 4 seals each. There are what I believe to be outer dust seals and an inner fluid seal. I only replaced the inner fluid seals and cleaned off the dust seals. I read somewhere that you should soak the new seals in fluid for 30 minutes prior to installation, so I did do that. You don't have to split the caliper open either, there is enough room to keep it in one piece.How involved was it to rebuild the front calipers?
+1.Nice car, you'll have fun. But the 4 points are a hazard to your health. Go 5 or 6 point. Easy to do with stock seats, it's one (correctly placed) slit and the Sector 111 6-pack and you're there. The 4 points ride up your hips and do nothing except direct your body to slam into the steering column. And yes, that's a possibility even with the supposed Schroth breakaway feature.
I miss ERTC!Looking good, you need to make it out to Redmond Town Center one of these Saturdays!
Haven't made it to the track yet, but for what its worth, it is cooler to the touch after a spirited drive on the street. If you do get the kit, you will want some rubber/silicone bushings to put under the intercooler heat shield. It will vibrate like crazy against the mounting brackets. I took some silicone sheet and cut strips to fold over itself, then cut out a square with a razor to fit them over the bolts. I also silicone glued a couple stacked sheets under the center of the shield where it was coming in contact with the large metal bracket that holds up the intercooler.Cool build, feedback on the RLS intercooler over stock? Thinking about pulling the trigger on one.
Any more details on this? I have been unsuccessful in finding events of people being injured from the claimed dangers of 4 point harnesses. Also, what is involved with mounting the 5/6th strap to the car? Do I need to rivet special brackets to the floor?+1.
I know a guy who really got banged up unnecessarily with a four point.
