Yeh they were, it was definitly a different event to what im used to. Yeh for that event only they were just second hand tires i got from a mate, i now run 195 BF Goodrich all round and am very happy with them.
Yes Turbo boost can be very explosive since it makes peak torque at around 4500rpm but with the external gate fitted now so that boost is consistent i am finding it not too hard to control you just have to stop yourself from planting the right foot too hard which is quite hard when your previous car is a 1.5litre Datsun lol
The car is still very new to me but it is already showing some very impressive stage times, at the moment we are fitting Murray coote suspension all round i will post pics when they arrive which should be in the next 2 weeks, it was an expensive upgrade but should definitely be worth it.
Glad to hear the car didnt have too much damage after the hit, was it too much rear brake bias that contributed too that spin? or was it the fact you were too wide and on the loose stuff? it seemed to snap soo quickly
