Be prepared to be unable to corner in the rain and not even in the dry too well.
I have those tyres and they are absolute shite.
Although they last forever, I\'ve been intentionally trying to destroy them and they will not die.
On a related note, why do British people whine so much about their petrol prices when it\'s the equivalent of like $2.60nzd/litre [bad maths was here].
Not suprised that they only sell 250/year given you have to sell your kidney to afford insurance, though!
Their bad reputation stems from the fact that they are cheap, and as such the kind of people who buy cheap cars also don\'t tend to treat them well.
In other countries they have a very high level / reputation of reliability.
My old Toyota and my girlfriend\'s corolla have both been more expensive to maintain than the three turbo subarus I have owned.
Although some Subaru genuine parts are shockingly priced.
Worth a shot. My v7 sti with aftermarket immobilisers re-arms itself which, if you haven\'t connected in the 38 second window, kills the connection / ecu.

Good on ya for getting some amount of exposure. Probably won\'t help but worth a shot!
Not sure if anyone follows engineered to slide but it\'s fapfapfap (even if you\'re not into drifting).
