in all seriousness now when i go go-karting i just use gardening gloves.. they're the 'dearer' gardening gloves with suede but they'll do the trick if ur gettin sweaty hands

10bux job done. i mainly use them to avoid blisters.. :)

This might be a little off topic lol, but does any of you guys grind your teeth or crunch your jaws when going through the really twisted roads?

I did that for the whole weekend and now my jaw is really sore :S

invest in a mouthguard?

hahahahah, so we'll now be cruising the twisties with driving gloves, helmets and mouth guards....

and to be extra safe, make sure you're ready for the 'duct tape death match' as well, hands won't ever come off then :)

but yeah, something like suede on leather would probably be pretty grippy

I don't know if that will work lol, but maybe I'll give it a try next time xD

At least I'll get to keep my teeth if I happen to brake really quickly and I smack my face on the steering wheel lol

Hey all

The GOR cruise really highlighted the fact that I need driving gloves for mountain twisties. Not because I'm a wannabe racer, but I remember a few spirited corners with sweaty palms and just dreading what would happen if my grip loosened a bit.

Does anyone know of decent gloves that aren't bulky and have enough grip in them? Had a look on ebay, and the only half-decent ones for car driving are the go-kart ones.

The more expensive Nomex ones I found from another post are like >$100 delivered

GMP gloves

OMP Gloves

What are people's experiences with these or cheaper alternatives? Is Nomex the be all and end all? Also if I am looking at doing track work in the future do I need "FIA approved gloves"?

Thanks.

Do they come with a matching skirt? jks

This whole thread is farkin hilarious :D . Thanks for the sAfrican Americans! Edit: I'd better use the word chuckles instead of s-n-i-g-g-e-r-s

Sorry to get serious, but if you sweat more than other people > try Magnesium supplements for a month and recap.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
