Removed the clutch assist spring today, very easy to do and helps reduce some of the vagueness in the clutch.

Next mod is to modify the clutch bleeder block by removing the CDV (clutch delay valve).

Anyone on here, done both of these before?

Checked the tyre tread depths (using my new electronic tread gauge), on my Pirelli P Zero's on my 19" Santiago's.

N/F (Avg) 5.85mm                        O/F (avg) 6.09mm

N/R (avg) 5.91mm                        O/R (avg) 5.87mm

Not too bad methinks for over 14k already on the tyres, should easily see 20k. Quite surprised for 19" Ultra low profile tyres (but then I did rotate them fronts to rears at 8,900 miles).

My P Zeros are down to about 3mm at the back and 4mm at the front after 19.6k miles, very pleased with that but will likely replace with PS4S for the better grip. Will change in the next few weeks.

Interesting. Isn't the point of eyebrows that they are normally colour coded so they make the headlights look smaller/meaner? Very Max Power like though   :grin:

Got a front view pic?  I have been toying with the idea for mine, keeping them gloss black too.
