No Crust Racing

Nice. I didn't realise you were talking a full slick. IS that going to mean suspension changes for my car, obviously I can't run them in the wet =\

lol "tossa" no need mate, if you say it's as big I believe ya. But we all love pics of rubber so do it anyway.

That's a big ass 215 0_0

Is the O3G considered a proper semi or a hi-po road tyre like the KU

Awesome, thanks. If they're as wide as you say then they should fit my 9" rears without issue also. Just to confirm, you comapred your 215 mini tyre to a 235 Dunlop and Kuhmo semi or road tyre? What model is the mini tyre?

I dont need to do that as the car gets towed to the track so the track rims and tyres stay on That's awesome value! I think you should PM me some details on where I can hook up with those Correction 8" fronts (or are they 8.5's? can't remember) and 9" rears. For the cost of the rims I couldn't say no. A bit of extra rim width is fine to me, they take the 235's well with nice straight sidewalls, none of this drifter stretched habib shizzle going on. Hook me up Ben If they're as wide as you say they would be perfect for my car.

I've got you covered... The guy on the left will sort you out, his name is Harry... He's already getting to work... I've even hookd you up with "Special Tyres"

ahh yeah I nkow Caz from NS. Good idea. MArlin, where were you going with that second set of rims comment? I'm not worried about burning up tyres on the street as I dont street drive very often and when I do it has street rims/tyres. So I can leave my semis on the track rims. What are the mini ones setting you back and what size?

I do have two sets of rims, but I only use one set on the track and the car is pretty much track only so I can use whatever tyres I want. The street rims are just plain 5 spoke 17's with the tyres that came on the car. The track rims are 9" volks with 235 semis.

Interesting in the differing opinions. the KU36 thread seemed to have some OK results when compared to flogged semis, which mine are. The other option is finding some half decent second handers. Being heat cycled a few times from what I thought just makes the compound harder so longer to get up to temp and less grip but also harder wearing?

Did you use a normal or dry cell battery amd if not a dry cell how did you go about venting?

The KU36's seem to be quite popular, though not a semi slick, but I'm guessing that lap times on a new set of those would be similar and possibly better than what I'm getting on these thrashed semis. Is there a semi that's comparable cost wise?

Not a bad idea so long as you wanna run it to the same spot (cabe length etc) Wonder if many wreckers are gonna wanna pull that for you =\

Awesome thanks

I'm going to relocate the battery to the boot and I'm wondering if anyone has used kits for this type of thing or do you all just go your own route and source parts you need. I'm not auto electrician so I'm not fully versed on what parts are required. As I see it, some heavy gauge cable to connect the battery to the engine bay terminals, I'd imagine some sort of heavy duty fuse for safety and I'd like to put an isolation switch in to stop the battery being slowly drained while the car sits as it's not driven regularly. What's going to be the best way to go about this. I'm all for DIY just not sure what's required.

What can people suggest in the way of cheap semis, new or second hand, for 235 17's I bought a learner set from Donnelans a while back and they were only $260 delivered to Albury, granted they were nothing special condition wise but they've done me alright for 3-4 track days to learn on. I'm happy enough in my braking and the balance of the car that I can afford to buy some better second handers or maybe even something new as I won't be flat spotting them hopefully. I'm also after cheapy Toe Arms for the S13, I've used ISC rear camber arms and they were decent for the money. His toe arms are about 180 and I've seen sets on ebay for around $100, not sure on quality though. Given the car is only a CA and doesn't run blistering laps times it's not going to be critical but has anyone had any experience with anything cheaper than the isc items?

Rowdy?

Hey Rowdy, thanks mate. How much are you wanting for them, I've just moved back home to Albury/Wodonga but have plenty of mates down that way who could come collect. PM me if you like Cheers

I'd like to relocate the battery to the boot and my current normal style battery is shagged, is there such thing as a cheap dry cell on the market? All I'm finding is Odyssey's for $300 or so. I dont have anything separating the cabin from the boot so a dry cell also elminates the need for venting.

Even with the colour that is a friggen steal. If I had the cash right now I'd buy that and paint it.

Wow, no abs? You must be braking hard and for a long time when they lock up, I locked mine a couple times here and there and didn't flat spot them =\ This is why I got second hand stuffed semis for learning.Maybe get some track rims and some second hand semis from Donnellans (spelling?) until you get the hang of braking control etc. I got my learner semis for $250 for the whole set delivered from Melb to Albury.

Still having no luck Shell. I don't think I introducd myself on the day, but I was in the Silvia with the female passenger who needed a quick pit stop before we started our mini wang run lol Did anyone get a pic of me losing it at the hand brake turn around the cones on the basketball court?

Wow, if I was ready to buy I'd certainly be interested, might be a bit nice/special for track work =\

There's a couple in our set at the flicker link I posted.
