Cambridge 111s?
Discussion
I recently posted an article on a front splitter as I was looking for better front end handling.
[http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&t=473886&hw=splitter]
I've followed some of the advice and had a wheel allignment done by Elite Motors (it was waaay out). They also tightened the steering clamp
and the tire pressures are always correct.
My comparison is to a std S2 I had four years ago which was excellent. The 111s I now have doesn't come close.
I'm presently on Bridgestones but will change those later in the year as they will be worn enough to justify a set of Yoko Advans.
Having had a std S2 that worked without a front splitter and on the same tyres makes me think something else is going on or maybe my memory is playing trix
So ....
... is anyone in the Cambridge area with a S2 111s that I could run for a few mins back to back? That's a mighty big favour I know but I have no other way to compare (I did follow another one evening a few weeks back in Oakington)
Can I tempt anyone with a drive in mine - you might just be interested in hearing what 111s+hurricane+larini = sounds like?

How fast/hard do you want to go? This would have a bearing on it, but I would be happy to in principle.
Mine is in Elite at the moment getting (another) oil leak fixed, but should be ready tomorrow.
s2 111s, hurricane/ 4-2-1 / sports
EDIT: I'm on potenzas too, so our cars are pretty much as similar as you can get, FWIW I'm an 02 /w/ 64K so will probably be more aged than yours!

Thanks Stuart
I'm not looking to push it as any difference may well be apparent at low speed. Road type and conditions will play their part too
It will be interesting to hear what you think of my 111s after I try yours if you're still up for it.
I work in Waterbeach during the week and live in Girton if that's any help. Otherwise I'll work it on your terms.
Perhaps think about a time/day and get in touch via email in my profile
Cheers
