More like crazy dance - I still get bitten occasionally with 260 going to the ground. Bloody right foot traction control can be a fickle thing:D

you could try putting some bridgestone so3's on the back a bit expensive but on the street i have never felt anything like it they stick like glue

[Steve]

I've got Goodyear revspecs on, which are 'supposed' to be one of the best ones out there, and cost 410 a pop. Have you heard how the SO3s compare to revspecs?

Otherwise I was thinking of going Potenza RE540s, cheaper but are only good for 10,000km so I have been told, and look like they may be a bit scarey in the wet - do you know how these compare to SO3s, also how much SO3s cost??

They are around the same priced tyre then and i have never seen a Potenza RE540 tyre before are the like the so2 tread

540's are the control tyre for the street class at Wanners.

One of the best tyres I've ever driven on and they last about 15-20 ,000 km.

Magic in the wet surprisingly as I was on em when set a couple of fastest stage times at Targa. If it's pissing down , that's a bit different but show me any tyre that works perfect in those conditions.

Cheers

Killer T, not quite sure about the SO2s - cant remeber exactly what the tread pattern looks like, the 540s look like a semi slick, I think that is basically what they are?

GTRKEN - 15 - 20 000kms! I do believe I'm sold:) (EDIT: they are cheaper than revspecs too!)

Killer-T,

What work did you do to then engine, for $5500? I have a set on Wiseco forged pistons, going in next month, did you go for 9.0 or 8.5:1 compression?

See'ya:burnout:

[Guest KILLER-T]

I think it was just a basic rebuild

rebore and hone block

resize conrods

recon head

wiseco pistons

full gasket kit

new bearings

crank grind

engine balance

shot pien rods

new oil pump and water pump

new belts

port and polish

And i know they lowerd the comp of the engine with the new pistons somehow ?

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Killer-T,

The Wiseco pistons I have are 8.5:1, which means that they are slightly oversized compared to the factory piston. That way I can do without a metal headgasket. I'm having my head ported and polished, do you know if they flow benched yours and whether there was much increase in flow?

I am also having the crank polished and balanced, did you bother with this? Do you have a custom exhasut manifold, and which turbo are you running?

See'ya :burnout:

[Guest KILLER-T]

I dont know about the first 2 questions like i said im a not to clued up with mechanic's and the turbo has been made up from a late model rx7 turbo and the exaust housing of my old turbo if u wanted to know more about it give Brett a call at PSI performance
