Dude, as I said those circuit slicks aren't going to do the job you want!  

BFG DRs or drag slicks will however, and it's well documented what size DRs and what size drag slicks work on a GTR.

Remember the BFG gForce DRs in 17"/18" aren't what you want. You want the 15" BFG Comp TAs with nice big fat sidewalls (50/60/65 profile).

im gettting a set of 16in standard gtr wheels from bu5ter on the weekend, hopefully ill be able to get some 245 or 255 width, and 50 or 60 sidewalls. depending on what sizes bf goodrich make.

i have to go pic up the cage during the week, its mild steel so hopfully will be sufficiant.

the only problem is there is never enough hours in the day to get things done

who is supplying the cage and are they following the andra technical direction in its construction if so can we be given their details so we can get one too.cheers paul

correct x2. Make sure the cage is legal. ATM most of the cage makers are super busy and expensive with ppl building cars for WSID.

The guy I used is in the same complex as UAS about 4 shops back, cheapest approved cage I could find. Thats CAMS not ANDRA of course but he was doing ANDRA cars too I think.

You do not have to use Chrome Moly for your cage, but if you do then it must be tech inspected by ANDRA before painting. if you use mild steel the size required is larger than the CM equivalent.

It is true that most shops are flat out busy at the moment.

flaunting rulz is run, if they dont accept the cage then why should i spend another 2gs on a cage and more fuel just to race, changing the plates costs me hardly anything, i might not run another 10 ever again, so im not sure if its worth it.

Mate, I think you need to take the safety rules a fair bit more seriously. Not that running a non-ANDRA approved cage will cause you to crash but more that an attitude that ignores these saftey regs could.

And Doughboy, "...and you plow into a wall." isn't really an image any of us want. You made your point but I don't think that's the best way to do it.

Oh sorry, I should have worded it "sneaks up and kisses the wall delicately". It's sad but only a graphic image is going to make people think about what could happen, especially in high speed motorsport. What about catapulting the car if the tailshaft snapped near the gearbox, or the transfer case/diff(s) locking up and make the car slide into the competitors lane and push that into a wall, or a flywheel exploding and loosing your feet etc. etc.

The rules are there for a reason, not to generate income in a cottage industry or to slow people down. Sometime you have to wonder what the consequences could be....

i already know what the consequences are, ive been around racing a long time, ive seen what can happen, i know rules and regs are there for peoples safety, but after i get a lower 10 i think ill give racing a miss for a while.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
