    Roadster Interior - Need help from the pros

    Yes, technically Leather can be dyed, but removing the original leather and dying it is not the way to go due to the damaged caused to the leather when removing it and more importantly the lack of industrial dying capabilities, and the cost to have it done. Leather is around $300 for a full...

    Need Tire Advise from those who've tried and compared/ yoko a048 vs ad07

    Chris, We run the 048's on a lot of our track cars, with Toyo's R888s as a less expensive alternative. They are "R" compound tires which means they will be super sticky at temp but not the best when cold and have tread patterns supporting more dry conditions, though we have ran both in wet...

    What did you park next to? (Or what makes the Roadster look tiny?)

    I know it's not a Roadster but it's my Lotus. Saw this illusion when coming out of the Grocery Store. The Nissan makes my Exige look like a matchbox car :tongue:
