Lautll4221, Mate I am very interest in your mods, as I am looking at the spoon calipers and Ohilins as well, what is the best price you could find the DFV's, I tried a GP motor a few months ago when the yen rate was 7.5 to HK$, they quoted HK$17000.

I have just got off the phone with a tire shop in Prince Edward, just ordered a full set of Bridgestone RE01R, they will arrive in the UK end of April.

Answer to that question is yes, and you cant buy the RE01R in the UK, it would seem the only and best choice here is the OEM 050 MZ, the RE01R from all reports is far far superior, which is no surprise really. I am paying the same for the RE01R that I would to buy a set of standard 050 MZ UK tires, but I dont think they will be E marked, I doubt anyone driving on Yoko 048's are E marked either.

I was sure my Yoko's are E marked? Come from Lotus factory with them on so I would be surprised if not. Maybe Chilled can shed light.

That shop was and is in HK and I didnt ask for a shipping quote as I have my own special shipping method ;-) But to be honest there was an attemp at a group buy in the UK, they nearly achieved the same price...........
