I really woundn't use any tyre that's not a stree-semislick with over 400wkws, front and rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its going to kill you knowing its on the other side of the country.Thanks Karl & yeah I got them. Theres plenty left in it on pump fuel if we want it there was no point cause the race fuel tune is to come yet that & we were ran out of time on the day. The race fuel tune is gonna be abit surprising I think, can't wait but I think it'll be a month or 2 before we can have another crack at it. It'll be worth waiting for I recon. Might have a few more under bonnet goodies coming as well to finish it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything was running sweet & all the power was there im just being anal retentive plus I swear that car loves bein in bits. While im at it im doin more work under the bonnet to clean it up so im not stressed. Its making & gonna make more power than I thought it would so I'm better off bein safe than sorry. I'm doin it myself with the help of one of my good mates whos a mechanic this time so ive learnt heaps & can say I had a major hand in it all, I love it lol.
