I was there but didn't see your name on the sheet so trying to match forum name with real name.

Here I am.

Femino's purple GTR had something go wrong with the engine so he drove my car for the rest of the day.

Hope the problem isn't serious.

lol...YEAH i was UBER excited for 2 reasons.... It was my first DECA in like 4 years....and my first driving the EMO Team Cheater Car.

Had an absolute BALL!!

Will be up in November for sure!

Well after a very bumpy ride home I thought perhaps the vibrations were a little bit more than a flat spot in the tyre. So I went the mechanics, he took one look at them and pointed out spots on every single tyre where I'd worn them out beyond the indicator. Apparently they're so severe that I have to pretty much bin them.

So... anyone know some decent cheaper tyres than KU36's which I can run until I learn how to (and more importantly, when to) brake correctly?

Wow, no abs?

You must be braking hard and for a long time when they lock up, I locked mine a couple times here and there and didn't flat spot them =\

This is why I got second hand stuffed semis for learning.Maybe get some track rims and some second hand semis from Donnellans (spelling?) until you get the hang of braking control etc.

I got my learner semis for $250 for the whole set delivered from Melb to Albury.

Sooo.... who's gonna put their hands up to corrupt me in November? Lukes just told me he's working at Sandown so will have to miss DECA, but I'll be there - and its my birthday :D Shall make up for the not drinking this time lol

I didn't think I locked up for too long either, but like you were saying at the hotel. Big, heavy car = more wear and tear.

You're not going to get a half decent tyre for cheaper than KU's.

The back track at DECA is very abrasive if you lock up. I've flatspotted RE55's there, and Dean in the S14 flat spotted his RE's on Saturday too. You just need to ease it on a bit more there, and give yourself more time to stop.

Yeah that's where it happened, came around the sweeper (on the long wang) and braked too late going into the chicane. Worst part is I still hit the cone! I should've kept the power and on and just blasted through them, would've been cheaper and gotten me a better time :bunny:

Maybe I'll take Dan's advice and get some half dead semis. Chuck them on the Advans and leave the stockies for daily driving.

Wrong...just learn a bit if finesse when it comes to braking...rough stabbing movements are always detrimental to good times...look at any good driver...its all about smooth movements...

And before this goes on...lets not turn this thread into another heel toe fiasco like the last deca thread...

Bring on more pics, vids and the results!!

+1 for these guys. We dealt with them through ebay and great pricing.

    • He obviously had his reason for flipping you off. I wonder what it was...
    • Thats why I stay far, far away from Eastwood. only go there if I wanna eat Korean food 
    • I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal
    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
