I need a set of track wheels! Everyone had semi-slicks fitted today, from a 350Z TURBO to a Daihatsu Charade. MX5 to a Corolla. They all had them! I feel the need to follow the trend.

 

Forget the rims and excuses - your best lap time was??

 

feeling the peer pressure again?

 

A 1.15.4. Did a string of laps in the 1.15s, which was good. That was up until lunchtime, when my brother's Bommodore ran out of brakes and had to be parked. Then we were driving two-up, which costs about 1.5 seconds a lap!

 

Impressive. You were in the 16's last time weren't you?

I was just about cracking 16 by the end of that day.

Just think - with some semi-slicks you should be able to crack 14 easy.

Do it!

Do it!

Do it!

 

Exactly, look out Taka!!!

 

What is going to do with me... I am looking at low 12s.

I get 14s in 20 laps mate... better work on it

I am bring Glenn up this year. Watch out he is quick.

 

We're getting off topic just a little, but geez I'm impressed more with this little car every time I take it on the track. It was the quickest car in the road class easily yesterday, quicker than the 350Z turbo (driven by some "hero" in full race regalia), and quicker than an STI fitted with a Detroit locker. Why a 4wd needs a locker I don't know. There was also a tricked up CV8 that flew down the straight but was SO slow around the corners.

Dave, those MX5s continue to impress, put some sticky tyres opn and they're not that far behind us.

 

On a WB...definately go chrome.

 

BLING BLING!
Then I'd NEVER hear the end of it, these guys can be brutal.

 

Bling Bling mate.. I think do that and the guy behind cannot see the road in front

 

That's right Taka, you won't be able to see a way around me at the Nats.........

 

Taka, frankly with all the mods you've made, all the track work you do, not to mention the slicks you were running, you SHOULD be that quick.

And I reckon if TT fits slicks he'll be all over your butt at this year's Nats.

Those interested in times posted at last year's Nats can look here - http://www.natsoft.com.au/cgi-bin/re...5.WAKE.XXX.I.Y

You'll note Taka has a bit of work to do himself before he hits low 12's.

 

Exactly.

I'm working on it but it'll take a while. Fallout levels are still too high to revisit the bombed territory.

 

I have work to do

That is very true... I wonder I should come up on an open track day and have some fun over the winter

 

Go on, I dare ya. I'll be there.

 

You should - would be great to see you down into the 13's.

Besides, imagine how insufferable TT will be if he beats your best lap time.

 

Getting back on topic, just found these. Love the dish, it's almost deep enough.

 

Hmm, don't think they're my go but if you like them go for it.

What size are you getting?

 

like them... what are they? cant beat the classic 5 spokes design!

 

TSW Thruxton. You can get a 5" lip in 20x10. Hmmmmmm.
Can't find anyone in Aust who sells them though, just sent an e-mail to an NZ retailer.

 

Still not 100% sold on anything, I'm changing mind from one day to the next. I'm as scatty as Kalli lately!

Leaning towards 19x8, with a 245/35 for the road(?)

 

Wouldn't 8.5 be a better width for 245's?

 

I thought so, yes. But the fitment guide seems to think 245 is the go on 8inch rim.
