  • 2 weeks later...

hmm ill see if i can make it...if im not too stressed out from exams...

hey franky you coming to this one ????

oh and btw...my tyres are sort of going...esp the rear end...

should I

a) drive conservative unil then and then change afterwards or

B) get new tyres before then ??

I know it depends on how you drive...but how bad is wakefield on the tyres ?

shonen, with your tires i would get them before you go down if your gonna push pretty hard, depends on your driving style there too! also if they are pretty soft compound tires they will take a bit of a beating!

i would get new ones and do at least 500km on them before you head down!!

im still good for this day should be bringing at least 2 cars with me on the day too!

hey Tosh, you got a number on how many coming so far?

yeah they will take a fair hiding! really depends on what compound they are! i've always gone down with cheaper sime tyres on it that last for atleast 4 track days plus normal driving!

the softer and better the grip= shorter time they will last!

    • Thanks Pac!   I will reach out to them!
    • Yes, but 2 things of the top of my head, 1. Legalities of nitrous on a street car. 2. No chop chop. I fully understand that there's much cheaper ways to make power, and whilst a wet 50 shot is fairly cheap to install, bottle fills are expensive, and bottles always need to be refilled, and nitrous also has its own inherent issues with reliability, and tuning, from my experience of others using nitrous, it doesn't take alot to lunch a engine real quick if something goes slightly wrong when spraying, if I wanted a big chunk of additional powers, a spooly boy would make alot more sense, disregarding the additional engineering, supporting mods and other logistical issues of sticking a spooly boy on a car that came naturally aspirated from factory  In the end I'm not racing for sheep stations, and I don't really care if people make more power, or are faster than me, or spend less, or more than me, the only thing the car needs to do is drive around and make me smile, which it is doing now Really, I just want a shiny new intake to look at when I'm cleaning the engine bay, and of course, some more induction doorts, and maybe even that 5kw for that elusive 200hp cherry on top that I might get If the FAB9 intake plenum, TB and air filter box thing doesn't eventuate for whatever reason, Plasmaman do one, not as fancy looking, and a fair chunk of more cash is required when including the TB and other bits and pieces that are required to install it, but, it is another option that is available to me if FAB9 one does fall down (but I really, really.....really, want the FAB9 one though) TL;DR. You want what you want
    • Been so long since I have been here,seeing SDU is dead. I had that problem on my gtr in 2006 but luckily there was no engine damage,it was inspected by Hytech Engines,race bearings and extended crank collar put in and that was about it. Hopefully yours is sorted now.
    • Would it not be cheaper to just spray nitrous?
