Listed Euro class C for wet braking, so watch out if you see him tailgating you in the wet, unless you have Far Eastern Fleabay specials or duff rear calipers.

Dunlop summer sport Blu response or Conti summer sport premi contacts are the best cool tyres around, cos staying cool means avoiding crunches!

The funnel mod is a good one I've not seen before, as it keeps the funnel still. Just remember not to add more than 2 liters of box oil like my Indy tried, or there will be a real mess if the washing up bowl got moved. In theory it might hold 2.1, but in practice 2 liters is enough. No idea why some muppets wrote 3.4 liters in the oil finder guides.

3.4 litres is for a total fluid change the 2 litres is only a quick change as it's not easy to completely drain the box without removing it.
