track-day aftermath
tracking at PG wore off the front 2 tyres really well.
went back to Leong Seng Tyres to claim my first free tyre rotation (you get a free tyre rotation for every set of wheels you buy from them). don't think this set of tyres will see another rotation...
after this is done, headed back to get get the engine oil changed(~$200).
also, installed a Gruppe M air intake (~$850)
Oil used : Fuchs Pro S SW40
Mileage : ~121,000 km

one of the front AD08R tyres after tracking at PG once.
bought new 10 months ago.
running on ~1 deg camber.
going to be put in the rear. |
installing the Gruppe M intake is a little more complicated that expected. partly because it is bought second hand, some of the parts were missing.
the most important part that was missing is the adapter to allow the stock pipe to be clipped to the intake. this was solved with the seller helping to get a header done for me (thanks bro).
the other minor items are the bottom bracket and screws which seem to be less of an issue and there were makeshift replacements being done.
however, i am still quite disturbed by the lack of a fitment on the scuttle piece provided by Gruppe M and have bought a new set of scuttle piece from the scrapyard.
i'm still trying to find a place to help me get the original scuttle piece cut and epoxied to fit the intake hole.

| notice where my fingers are. there should be an adapter there that is currently missing in this picture. |
