OEM Tyres (Continental ) were swapped f<->r at 11800 kms as the fronts were just about on the wear indicators. At 17070 kms I had a set of Nankang NS-2R fitted. Don't ask me why, it was a whim. I am surprised at how well they are wearing. Pic at 19990 kms.

Braking is awesome but totally overkill for the street. (Who would have guessed?) They are quite competent in the wet providing there are no puddles. I'm still unsure whether I'll put the OEMs back on (Continental SportContact5, they are a really old design but still have good life in two of the tyres) or go straight to Pilot Sport 5 (awesome tyre by reviews, unnecessary cost).

A couple of days ago I had extended (roll center correction) ball joints fitted at the front. That day I was almost certain there was maybe a benefit to having them fitted. Now I'm not so sure.

I'm thinking I'll visit this track when weather cools down. It is really short, quite slow but then again the Suzuki is short and (comparatively) slow as well.

Yep, I'm still having fun in the car.
