i think his decition to keep it stuck to him after he went with the R888...
he comited to total change witht hose tires which "solved" his traction problems...he even got a new front wheels to get the proper sizing on the front he wanted with out staying having to get a different brand/model tire...

well, if i was going to build MY own version of a custom single, using the parts i want, i would use the same exact stuff as what powerlab is doing. i love garrett, i love tial, i love turboxs, and i love deatschwerks...
with craigs car, it was a major learning experience. i would have like to have done things differently but this started out as a TN upgrade and ended being a full custom single done in the wrong order because of us trying to upgrade the existing kit.
should have some nice results soon...
