For my issue, i just admit that it would be my mistake to change to the wheels and no next time.
Your car looks 100 times better than 2 months ago, never a mistake!!
You will be glad you have changed the wheels when you look back.

no but the effect of the g force probably the same. the race car engines use a dry sump design to ensure lubrication during hard corning.

No doubt!!
But just too much choices on the market and mobile 1 doesnt come cheap.

I am a strange guy, i cant feel any differences every time after i changed the oil on my E60,
no matter mobile 1 gold label, or the one AK use
Maybe more difficult to feel in larger cc engine??

I use motul 300V on my old MRS,
it does has huge difference though,
the engine is definitely quieter and pick up faster

that is the MB 190 2.5-16valve tuned by Cosworth
if it is the real McCoy, it is fast but i don't think it can beat you,
unless it is the actual car you see in the photo

Just annoying those belongs from MK, just let him go for 10ft and you can pass him in 3 secs!
If in 10ft distance only, I think 0.3 sec can beat him.
