Thanks, you know me I'll have some more footage to come.

 

Hey Chris..since you are a video guru, any chance you're going to Bradenton on the 9th.

Your car is amazing as always!!!!

 

I may come out. The car is no where ready for the track though.

 

What does that mean?

I've got an oil pan spacer and boost leak with some intercooler work being done. My car is in pieces in my garage and I'm still trying for 10's on the 9th

Looks like Tom and I will hold it down... Again

Tom, I got a new HDD camera over the Holidays... We'll get some good vids!

 

He doesnt have the tires like you though :-p

 

+1 try fitting welds over a 4pot 14inch brake kit...

Know of anyplace that does custom setups?

 

I guess being pretty comes at a cost!

 

Do some 18's and some DR's or R compounds. Rotas are cheap, or get some forged monoblock wheels.

 

hows the wear of your R compunds???? even if you dont drive it hard its going to be eaten away fast... basically 700-800 bucks every 4k miles...with bad performance on rain(and you are not in "dry" weather area like az)

I wanna do R compounds too but..... ..it aint easy

 

Thats why you get a seperate set of rims for your R compounds.

 

I'm running BFG Drag Radials.

I've driven to Orlando and back two times on them. They probably have about 500 miles on them already and I can't really see much wear. I'm not going to be going to the drag strip very soon so I'll probably be switching back to my 19's with KDW's for a while. (this weekend)

I haven't been doing burnouts on them, just driving on the street. It's kind of a waste because they still spin from a roll if you haven't heated them up properly.


As far as rain... I've driven all around in pouring rain two times already and it's not bad at all. Just don't drive like a retard.

 

if im not mistaken Supras & Rx7 run 5x114.3


Chris maybe u can find some stock Supra(mk4) wheels and toss slicks on them, or FD wheels.

 

why don't you try the new R1R

they appear to be a better tire than the KDWII and are softer also...which should help thread wear compare to the radials you re using...

i wish i could try them but they don't come in 19s

 

R1R......never heard of those.


who makes em?

 

Toyo....
