They will be fitted with Toyo R888 235/40 as soon I can afford it

myriadshalaks 04-28-2009 11:07 AM

those are nice. not feeling the four spokes though.

fastlaneracing 04-28-2009 11:10 AM

Hehe, Rotas on my micra is more of a joke with the time attack community in sweden.

Razz1 04-28-2009 11:11 AM

Those are much better than the wheels you have now.

By the way... have you ever heard of Paradox Interactive in Sweden?

fastlaneracing 04-28-2009 11:13 AM

No, the only thing I know was an old DOS app for document pipe welding back in the days.

It was named Paradox.

nuke0907 04-28-2009 02:26 PM

what are the wheels specs?

Atilla 04-28-2009 02:55 PM

^I'm thinkin' he went with either 8 or 8.5's since the profile is 235

Offset would be nice...

Taking a guess tho:

18x8 +45

or

19x8.5 +45

fastlaneracing 04-29-2009 12:29 AM

18x8 +45 thats right on the money.

I don't want to mess up my wheel alignment when I go from stock wheels (for road use) to Tenzo-R (for track use)

Otherwise I had gone for 18"x9" and 245-255

Atilla 04-29-2009 12:32 AM

F*CK yeah! guessed it right on the money! :cool:

Congrats on the wheels! Definitely post pic's when you get em' on!

Jedi54 04-29-2009 12:33 AM

atilla: your obsession with wheels is a bit troubling...

Spinning Sushi 04-29-2009 12:38 AM

Yeah... I walked in on him one day and saw him doing.... things.... unspeakable things.... to his wheels.... (traumatized)

Ross_Dawg 04-29-2009 01:23 AM

Love those wheels... awesome choice :icon_tup:

fastlaneracing 04-29-2009 01:37 AM

Thanks guys!

This weekend I will get my KW Inox V3, Agency Power swaybars, GT Spec stutbars, Greddy Trunk bar, Excoticspeed midpipe & Ageny Power brake lines installed.

Perhaps the company will give me R888 for my rims in the same time (well not give but let me pay them later then I can afford it), then I'll post pictures.

I can't wait until the weekend!

That's so not 50/50 weight distribution... false advertisement! :)

Nice ride.

YeahYeahYouWere 05-31-2009 01:23 AM

Very nice. Those tires are definitely the heat! Impressed you could get all 4 tires into the Micra too!

CTrx8 05-31-2009 07:28 AM

very nice look. off topic question - what does it cost to rebuild the coilovers?

fastlaneracing 05-31-2009 10:08 AM

It depends on what shall be done, harder springs are sheap but open up the dampers cost alot.

KW V3 was alot better than I believed, it was a surprise I think they are a little too soft on the road but on the track I kind of liked them.

I guess I can use ~60% out off my car right know so im planning on just get as many track hours as I can because that will make mutch faster track times them upgrading to better parts right now.

My setup is AP swaybars front + rear both at the softest setting, AP endlinks, GTspec strutbars front+rear, greddy rear bar, toyo 235/40 18" R888 GG, KW V3 Inox Coilover. ride hight not slammed, just as low as possible but with still straigt linkarms. weel alignment was setted quite forgiving with toe-in and just a few degrees camber.

Turn in was remarkable good even with toe in, loads of grip and almost no body roll.

it can of course be setted more aggresive but right know there is no point in it before Im reaching closer to 100% usage of the car. =)

ZumnRx8 05-31-2009 10:31 AM

in that last pic I can see an FC in the back! Anyone else see it?

fastlaneracing 05-31-2009 10:37 AM

How can you see that? it was an red FC there but I can't spot it on the photo.

ZumnRx8 05-31-2009 10:40 AM

Its red with silver wheels, and has its Hatchback open, if you look at your rear passenger window, look directly up, there is the RED FC :yesnod:
