KrisB's 4-0-Five

Very small update...

The part-worn conti's got a bit close to the wear markers.... Needed some decent tyres, so...

£145 for a Pair of Pirelli P-Zero Nero's in a 195/45/16. Not a bad price, especially fully fitted inc vat. Just wow! Amazing tyres, i already knew this from pompeymarks 306 in a similar size, but having them on the 405 it feels sooooo nice! It was a but hairy for the first hundred miles, especially with kids in the back and rain after the sun, but now they've done a few hundred miles i can say they're bloody amazing. Hit a few big puddles on the road today and didnt even feel them. Turn into corners is much smoother and cleaner.

Now just to save up to do the rears. Then hopefully get me some coilies to get the front end down to about -100mm... 30mm lower than already, also more new topmount bushes. All my scraping and bottoming out happens at the rear but that doesn't mean im not concered about my sump... I may have to make some form of massive overkill metal undertray cos I don't half mind a bash down the national limit b-roads.

Other than tyres and lowz. The car appears to have aquired quite a bit of yellow/black warning tape... And it's driving amaaaazing! Nippy, handles brilliant for a saloon, running 100% sunflower... pain to start in the mornings but oh well lol. As they say you can't polish a turd, i wont, just make sure it drives great and everything works. Done. Bored lol.

Oh, wouldnt mind a thicker anti roll bar but im not spending till i get the 405 Le Mans to pull apart.
