Sorry guys, I did get a response from Ivan but forgot to post about it Whistle
The guys in Turin changed the spec of the kit and didn't bother to tell us. The Esse Esse key cover has been deleted from the kit and all future literature will be updated to reflect this.

I was already wondering why I didn't get a new key cover when I got esseesse'd this week. Anyway, I have always liked the standard black cover.

Just to see what I didn't get... does anybody have a picture of the SS key cover?

Rather than start a new thread I have modified the title.

Guess where she went this weekend. She is becoming a little track Friendly.

Update. We made the big trip to the UK and back over the weekend for a trackday at Rockingham. Ran Toyo R888 on her for the first time and they completely take out the understeer in the car. They were superb on track.

They are however extremely noisy and was glad to take them off. The brakes are holding up very well considering the amount of track time this car has had. Had to clean the drilled discs as brake dust had settled in the holes. Did that with a wooden skewer. It was really caked in.

Standard EsseEsse Suspension. Running Toyo R888 tyres which have very stiff sidewalls and no flex. I think this gives the impression that it is running low. Car looks more aggressive with the sticky tyres on rather than the normal road tyres.
