Superlap Timeattack Is Ago!

Be carfull with getting wide tyres on a front engine rwd. As I found good 285's - 335's are all designed for rear or mid engined cars that have a lot of weight over the rear wheels. In a front engine rwd you will never get the tyre working properly to generate any grip. Dunlop do make a good 285 but again its in a hard compound designed for Porchers

Our car was 30K...but then broke the world record for labour charges for a GTR street engine build (no, unfortunately we didn't build this one) So yes you car may be cheaper than ours...hehe

Is that from the same people who brought you "2hrs labour/install for a plug-in ECU" ??

Woops Dunlop do make a good 295 not 285 but it is for Porchers. There is a 285 in a Bridgestone RE55 but you will never fit it on a jap car as it is way too tall. Again it doesnt come in a soft enough compound for a front engine rwd

thinking of running a book on what our best time will be.

bit like a guessing competition, contestants nominate a lap time to the nearest 10th of a second...$10 to enter...winner takes all. Nearest to the time wins or 1/2 the cash if tied.

so who's in?

I'm running 265 wide Re55s on my GTR and a couple of the guys at QR are running 285s on theirs... ?

edit: Paul I havent used one on mine but really need one. Have watched the guys with one at QR in comparison to me and corner exit looks a whole lot more pleasant than without one!!! lol

That Lotus looks like a weapon of a car! Great video

[Bozman1]

I think we are running 285's on the rear of the Honda S2000. Just got some new wheels so that they will fit in the standard guards....yeah baby.

Our suspension mechanic looked at some details on it today...he's impressed with it. Im sure Luke will get the best out of it.

can i use your old ones boz the hq rubber is to small 195/60/14 but the white walls look great on the gtr

[Bozman1]

How are the tyres coming along Jas?

I have some spare white walls if needed

I think they are only 12 inch in diameter as they may be from my old Datto 1200 days.

My money is on the little plastic cars rather than all of the lard-arse metal ones. But I'm biased.

Currently run one in my 33 GTR. I like it. Allows for more control over the power shift. Certainly makes my front diff work a litter harder (and hotter) as I tend to have the power transfer come on quicker than standard. For want of a better word, gives you more "feel" and more controlled power slides in tight corners.

The Brandster car looks like its coming together well a week out

[phunky_monkey]

Thought I'd just ask in here instead of making a thread: does anyone know where to get tow straps from? Revolution don't sell them, and Racer industries charge like a wounded bull.
