I have some pressure on my right eye, went to church as usual feeling a little dizzy and tired and time with my daughter makes me cry .. Wish it was a dream but I know it's real I can feel it more and more which proves my theory that sometimes not knowing is a good thing cause now I know I'm certain my body will remind me every chance it gets! Thanks for asking mate I really appreciate it

Hey Scott ,

I am sorry to hear of your painful news , i would'nt imagine what you would be feeling right now , nor would i know what to say to a fellow member . The little i will say is keep your head under that bonnet and have your little girl beside you, keeping your mind focused on the things you love . I will pray to the man upstairs for you, and you will be in my thoughts . All the Best man , you will get through it :)

Some others on this thread are Christian too, and they're praying. In a prayer chain, we're praying.

In one 10 year period our family was stricken with...

a) one son getting a jaw tumour

b) another son dying

c) my wife contracting 2 types of breast cancer.

During these adversities, we get closer to God - or further away.

We were each forced to make a choice...

I posted up that you're on a journey.

Our journeys continue on my friend!

Your empathy is appreciated Scott.

Faith has helped me throughout. Of course it'll help you through too. No matter what you read about gliomas; whether you're focused on Body, Mind or Spirit, faith will help you through too.

I hope your folks, your wife and your daughter can cope, since they're going through a journey too: each and every one.

I've heard it said on SAU that one would give his left testicle to have a GTR. I understand that. But after experiencing illness and death at close quarters; I'd in the blink of an eye, give away my cars to have good health and life in my family once again. But I know God has a greater purpose.

See! You're a very loving man yourself; that in your hour of need, you found time to empathise with my predicament. I sincerely admire that!!!

Hi Scott

Sorry to hear the bad news, i lost my grandmother last year and its a terrible thing to go through. Im not a religious man at all really but regardless i agree with what everyone is saying here, keep doing the things u love dont let it stop you, because in the end enjoying ur self and being in the company of great friends and family and driving GTR's this is what life is about. After i lost my nan the way i see things now is to enjoy every moment that i have and to make the most of the opportunities.

Hi Scott,

Just read through your thread.

Sad to hear about your situation. I think members have already said what I am about to say. But the best thing to do is keep positive and do the things you love doing whether it be working on your car, spending time with your wife or just having plain old fun.

The medical world these days and technology has come a very long way and treatment in Australia for such things is excellent.

I do wish you all the very best and by all means, you are going to finish completing your engine build :thumbsup:

Cheers,

Anthony

It's not always the easiest thing but as you can see there are many people here behind you and supporting you!

So all the best!

      New lightweight, square wheel/tyre combo for the E90

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I have Enkei RPF1s in 17x8 that are 7 kg. That's about as light as it is possible to get without going forged. Apparently 18x9s are only <1kg heavier. Just the wheel, obviously.

      Nah, nothing formal, just open track days. Mostly small and tight circuits but I would like to get back out to Eastern Creek at some stage.

      What type of track driving will you be doing?  Do you have a set of class rules you need to abide by that will limit your rim / tyre width?

      New lightweight, square wheel/tyre combo for the E90

      By PranK · Posted

      I've been reading a lot lately about unsprung weight and how beneficial it can be to reduce it for driving on the track, given my semi's only have another day or two in them I am throwing around the idea of some lighter wheels and a square set up. I have 265/35/19's and 245/40(?)/19 Federal 595's at the moment. The wheels and tyres are super heavy. I looked up my wheel weight online and got 14.5kg naked. Not sure if this was 8.5 (front) or 9 (rear) but that's a lot. I have also been reading about the benefits of a square setup. Much better rotation and potentially less understeer.  When I throw these together I'm thinking about a 17x9 or 18x9 square (preferably under 10kgs per wheel) with 245 or 255's. I can get some cheap 17x8.5 BMW M Sport wheels, they weight 10.5 kg's each but at 8.5 wide could probably only get 245's on them? I know they come with 255's from factory but semi's are a bit chunkier. Otherwise it will be aftermarket wheels in a 9" width. Most of the other BMW wheels are heavy unless you pay a squillion dollars for some M wheels.  Although, the E46 M3 Style 67's could be good but I'd have to buy 2 sets to square them up.  My car has a tickle over 400hp and about to put an LSD in also, is 245 a little thin for a square setup? It kinda feels that way to me. Also, is there any tangible benefit to having 18's over 17's? Is the footprint demonstrably bigger? From those of you who went to light(er) wheels after heavy buggers, did you notice it much?
