By the way I just spoke with Daren Mews with his modded S14 Drift car and he is going to be out there with us, and we will be out together this time for big show down. Keep an eye on your mirrors if out there at same time, althogh probably not.

will be good to see Darren again, its been a while....he will need to check out the details in this thread to book and pay.

re the ebay link, those are wet tyres, will only last a day or 2. The price is good and they tyres will be brilliant for 1-2 laps at a time, but not really good value for money when you look at laps per $$

re the kumhos, I've used the V70A but not V700. the V70A was pretty hard for a semi slick, so lower grip but it lasted well. In fact I only used 2 sets for a 8 round season of racing

Darren has already paid and put his entry thru

V70A and V700 are the same tyre, you can get them in different compunds, soft med and hard but the hard is the most common

Is there any way to tell which compound the tyres are by a marking or similar?

Got the details at work but we need a few entrants and a few flaggies.

We can get people $40 CAMS day licences if $85 is too much.

Also, for those of you comparing this price to Wakefield, don't forget that this track is in Sydney so you are spending about $80 less in fuel getting to and from the track.

    • Saw this video today from Adam LZ.    Long story short is he is claiming that the load from the engine fan once the fan clutch heats up(engaged) is increasing the getrag rattle(at idle) when you don't have a dual mass flywheel.  Before I go buying an electric fan setup .... Anyone heard of this ?    I must admit when my car is cold the getrag is pretty quiet and I do notice the rattle after it is all warmed up. I've always assumed this is due to the gearbox oil temp and tolerances of metal.       
    • Yep it sure does.   Tone wheel lines up in the same spot perfectly.    
    • Something I meant to say when we were chatting the other night about having an open trailer floor being great to work on a car, but you've never used the feature... It's a great place to park a car after doing suspension component changes, and do the tightening of all the bushes with the car sitting at full ride height. Especially when you don't have a 4 post hoist!
    • That is way more science than even I would use. I just eyeball it, not even accounting for the non-verticality of the tape measure when held on the lip and the centre at the same time. +/- 2mm is good enough for the girls I go out with.
    • So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.
