Bah!@Stockies.

I'll be out there on my good tyres, I didn't tear the last set up overly much at all especially from what everyone was saying. Although, I DID flat spot them from locking up. One thing I have to avoid this time...

Although Owen, you'll scrub on your guards, mine did the first time I was out, but now won't due to being raised!!!

Haha you do remember how overley big Owens wheels are for his car.. they will stuff the car up for sure..

Owen, borrow a set of stockies..

[Nismo_God]

there wont be much more benefit from having wider tyres as the track is half wet and dry.

if u have stockies it would prob be best to just use them and no need to worry...

The thing is the tyres arent just wide.. they are too big for the car.. silly people putting massive gtr wheels on gtst's

And having one wheel sit an inch outside of the guard!

I know how big they are, they basically sat how mine used to. Just one of his tyres sits outside the guard for some frakked up reason...

Edit: Nismo: Twas only joking, was all part of the fun...

Edit2: I'll most likely be out with stockies on the rear too... Fronts will be good tyres.

J's car will have the other two of my "new" stockies...

Sweet, anyone got a pair of stockies? ^_^

I don't think I'd get scrubbing, my body does NOT roll. But still, I'll try and get some stocks. All else fails, I'll take them off my work car.

[Nismo_God]

check out these vids of the skidpan day....

got heaps more but getting up takes soooo long....more to come

[jeffworld2]

yeah i thought my car doesnt roll, and it doesnt lol. but when you spin, trust me it will roll. the photo of me spinning shows exactly that... the back is dead flat but front wheels have moved so much, i couldnt beleive it there must have been some nice twisting action lol

the track is not really wet, it just has a river through it the rest was dry. stock wheels are the go if you have some with rubber

[Risking]

Semi slicks are the go. Ill be using RE55's this time. Bugger the little bit of water,

[oweban]

Just bought some near-new tyres on steel rims off an AU falcon. Whee. Driving up, and swapping rears there... No point in frakking up my speedo on the trip there.

[oweban]

Doublepost, so sue me.

Which carpark at 8am? The one along the long straight, or near all the loopy bits? *looking at google earth*

[jeffworld2]

um neither. its off the screen, below the sheds. you drive in past the sheds, turn right at scrutineering (you dont line up, just go paston their left) and head down past the hillclimb things

[MBS206]

Owen, just follow J, Kym, Myself and my mate up, you can't get lost that way!

[jeffworld2]

yeah your right its taking ages, but i bet despite sitting here like leyton hewitt (come on!!) i still wont be ready for it til the night before. all i gotta do is change the oil lol but you know.

[Nismo_God]

yep droping oil this weekend, do a service it i think.....havent changed the spark plugs on a skyline yet.....anyone know the easiest way to get in their? havent tried yet, is the plastic cover hard to get off?

Also the plastic guards are under the oil filter, anyone know a trick way to change the oil filter withour droping oil onto the plastic? cant clean that up and will drop oil everywhere when i drive and on the driveway.

what sparkies should i get? can you just go to repco and ask for r33 skyline, cause its an import do they stock the parts?

Prob should have put this in the right section to get an answer...oh well too lazy....
