Awesome car. Are you running the *forged* hypertechs or the cast ones?

It smashes the ET streets on the road... there's no chance of using normal street tyres.
I took it for a spin once with normal tyres and 350rwkw... it changed lanes all by itself, lucky there was no one next to me!

Traction isn't the best on the street at all. The bigger et's that I had at the vl nats have been the best so far.
Also I'm pretty sure they are the cast hypertechs.

So they'd be the 255/50/16 et streets I'm guessing? I think that was the only size for the 16's. I'll hopefully be having around the same power in my vl when it's finally finished. Which would happen quicker if I stopped buying corolla's lol.

Nah 255 60 15. I havent put any et's on the 16's yet. Once I get some money I will put some 255's on the 16's. I hate being a stupid lil apprentice lol takes soo long to do stuff to it

Did you know they do a 275/50/15? And I agree with the apprentice part. That's why mines still in bits
I saw that video the other day actually. Love it

Nah it's a weld in...
Very supprised tho, just with the back half the whole car feels soo much more solid. Goes around corners better and feels solid over speed humps etc so hopefully it stiffens it up at the track too

My brother just brought a new tig during the week to start putting some turbos on his maloo so today we thought we'd finish off the cage. had a look at the calder rules and they only require at 4point cage and 4 point harness loop etc etc to run 10.99-10.00 so this is how we are setting it up. so i can run low 10's no worries and if i happen to crack a 9 then who cares if i get booted ive done th pass i want lol
almost ready! just a lil bit of wiring and bits n pieces to go then im off on the hunt for the illusive 9!
