That Escort is wicked in a straight line, and lose as goodshit through the corners, pretty wild to follow it (Harry, you musta missed my lol in the post re the windscreen )

I'd really like to bring it next year, and I think I will Was a very fun weekend, great fellas

hahaha, I'm just shit stirring Harry

Wish I was running in-car vid, so everyone could see your CORNER CUTS THAT SMASHED MY FARKING WINDSCREEN AND DENTED MY GTR BONNET! lolol

You'll never know Russ, you're scared of the place. Fudge packer.

Funnily enough Harry said to me afterwards that he felt he was having a "Roy" moment That was about 180klm/h when Harry spun in my estimation definately had my attention in the rear view mirror

I'm in for that! In fact, my little track group of friends (6 or so of us) are working toward having the KU36 as our group "control" tyre

Shutup or we'll use them for Targa.

I will ad that judging by yesterday's efforts Harry that the R888 is a simply superb sand tyre! LOLOL

Yes, thats for 235/45/17. I got them through Jack Beedham's because they're mates of mine, but yes, the $164 is available from Option 1.

$164 a corner Farkin CHEAP! lol

Once again, superb effort from the both of you, Sarah's fantastic effort still makes me feel proud I absolutely ccannot wait to be reunited with your old froend Russ

Well, did 80klm at Lakeside yesterday on the 235/45/17 KU36's. Fisrt run I was concerned I'd made a bad decision as the were very slippery, but each subsequent run they got better. Once I came to the decision to change driving style to suit the tyre it was actually fun. As opposed to R comp tyres that (IMO) reward smooth and straight driving, the way to drive these was a fair bit looser, and really punish them. Ended up with a best of 61.20 secs on what was a very hot and quite windy day and the track seemed a little "off" judging by other folk's times. My best on O3G Dunlops in the same size is 58.63, but that was in kinder conditions. All in all, I reckon they're superb value, they don't offer the feel of a race tyre but really hammering them made it fun! Not worrying about sliding them because they're so cheap is good too. I messed around a bit with pressures, and found 45 hot was about on the money. Everyone I've spoken to rates them much higher than the Federal 595RS. Seems the 595 has a very soft casing construction and even light cars squirm them around a lot. I've driven a GT4 with them on around Lakeside and would agree with that too.

Yeah, they seem to hold up ok from what I've already seen and heard mate.

How could the safety design elements of that track be ok'd by any governing body worth their salt is beyond me......

Piss that in Harry. lol Nah, I knew you'd used them and was going to hit you up Sunday, but never know if you're telling the truth or not LOL So treating them like pure rag roadies is the best bet. I'm interested to see how they perform and last on a cost/pace/wear basis. Should be interesting

Jeezuuz H Cryst! That's epic!

Hey guys, I've purchased a set of these just for track days as I'm a little tired of ripping up O3G's just for messing around. Has anyone used these and found a good operating hot pressure? I have a 1270kg R32 GTS-t. Cheers, Ben.

Yes that's right Benny.

The Bluebird vid isn't there mate? I really really wish to get out to Morgan Park, so if you could keep me in the loop that'd be fantastic

Tragic, just tragic, the loss of two wonderful gents will ripple through the rallying community for a long time to come. So very sad, rest in peace David and Gary

I must say it does look cool! I'm envious

Sounds good to me mate! Cheers Ummm, Lakeside this Sunday?

Sounds like you better have a chat with Russ mate

poofter.
