David, Am I missing something? What is the Shed (test) area. We David Martin's should all know this I guess. Dave.

Hi David, I gues you are as brilliant and talented as me Don't think we are related, unless......

Just worn out two Michelin Pilot SX-GT 205/45R/16 83V and need to replace on rear. Front same but still OK. Any one got any advice on options for this wheel size? I know this is not everyones favourite 'size' but which I like because it keeps me out of the cow pats in my area . I don't do track days and don't drive too hard (well... not always [E] ) and plan a fairly long blat around France in July. Any help would be much appreciated.

Bigyin, and all others who have given the same consistent message i.e. just do it , it is just now a question of which way to go rather than shall I or not. Talking to CC, DVA and Noble's for final figures, then I'll have to make a choice. Can't wait 😬

Richard, The car does have a 6 speed, but most else is standard. As for what I am looking for it is not so much top end speed as some real punch when overtaking on normal roads. The 1.6SS is nice, but I want it to be even nicer without having to bust the bank . DVA has a nice pack of differnt bhp options, but how far to go to achieve what I am after, that's the question I guess.

Yes Shaun, you are right. Changing an engine for me would be like trying to do a crossword puzzle blind. All the comments have been most useful though and thanks to all for them. Don't know if I am any nearer a decision, but veering towards official route I guess. Any further thouhts welcome. Also as asked earlier, if anyone does know the 0-60 of a Supersport-R be grateful for that info.

Have had the car for 2 years and love it to bits, but.. am now looking to up the power. Very unfortunately, I am not a technical person at all, just clean, polish, admire and drive, so have to get the work done for me. I am looking at two options. 1. Caterham's advertised upgrade to a Supersport R 1800 to 160 bhp. 2. Local garage John Noble Motorsport upgrade with Lumenition EMS & Throttle Body Conversion to add 25bhp to 35bhp. Has anyone any advice on the best option, or any other options I should comsider. Any help will be much appreciated.
