Nah , the tyres you have will be fine . Speeds are not that high and you will scrub them up anyway so best to use the crappy rubber.

We aren't looking for the fastest times around the tests , just a steady improvement.

Ken - they are absolutely awful to drive on - and theyve only got worse since cos the way ive been driving the car lately. When i took it out the back of Jarrahdale on Sunday - i found the car very difficult to control specially when cornering - so if i can get my hands on some loaners i would rather do that.

Been taking your depression out on the poor car ?

Trust me , it won't be too much of a problem if you don't get any.

Why don't you get some 2nd hand ones for a while before you can afford new ones.

And yes , I saw your post re. not buying crap tyres again but a lot of the problem was stuffed shockies causing the lumps in the tyres.

nah im getting second hand ones coming to me - couple of weeks away tho - its insurance n rego month im soooo poor in june - bloody paying rego on two cars!! But i cant not have new tyres - as dad said no point having a performance vehicle if you cant drive it properly - aidwin saw it bouncing all over the road very uneven - might as well be driving with square wheels.

Paul said he probably can get me some loaners.

Yes my poor car gets a lot of my fustrations taken out on it - hopefully it'll escape the polices attention tho.

besides im a competitive person - i wanna good time doing it for the chickies :)

Yea but it's a training day and I'm not interested who gets fastest time.

What we are trying to achieve is smooth control , good planning and recognition of car dynamics and how it can work for you.

I could probably jump in any of your cars and beat your times but that shows nothing.

I want you to better your own times , not some one elses.

cheers

ken

my car gets it if im pissed off so if im calm i'll better my own times - if im pissed i'll try and better everyone elses.

i dont know might just be the state of mind im in but i cant wait to get out there hehe

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me  
    • That's my life. Past-Duncan has a lot to answer for
