Hey buddy yeah all good mate.

the phosphor bronze cups are little cups that the inner trackrod (lives in the gator that the trackrod end bolts to) has originally acetal cups in.

the bronze ones are an upgrade to stop them wearing/breaking as one of mine did!

I’m using my Exige as a daily this week, while my MINI Cooper S wheels are away being refurbished. I really should have chosen a less corrosive period. Harrumph...

So the upgrades have started on my Elise already having only had it since November..... Replaced pads in Dec with some RC5+ on the front and RC6 on the rear, Car now stops as it should :tup:

Then this week I upgraded the engine mounts with some Yellow Poweflex along with another fantastic exhaust from Mr Valentine, aka 2bular, now it sounds as it should have when it left the factory :clap:

Just about to try some CL RC8 on the rear of mine. At the moment i run RC6 all round and my word do they stop the car. A bit more on the rear will do no harm though hopefully.  😁

Looking forward to hearing your thought about this setup..... I used to run RC5 all round on the S1 but changed to RC5 F and RC6 R, you can definitely notice additional braking on the rear, I presume your setup takes in to the next level :tup:

Hope so or i will be disappearing into the undergrowth. I can try it at Bedford before the first sprint.

Here’s what the Exige has been up to.......yes, I have actually got it properly dirty - thought I’d better post on here to make sure you all believe me..

Bloody brilliant car - it’s immense :)

Met with Paul a couple of weeks ago and we went for a Sunday morning blast, took a few piccies....
