GazB Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Mickey Thompson Tyres ET Street Radials have been fitted to my new Rota GTR 17" rims and look very nice The new tyres are very soft even without warming them, it's easy to press you finger nail into the rubber I'm looking forward to giving them a run out a Suprapod, it will be interesting to see what 60ft gain they give me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazB Posted July 10, 2009 Author Share Posted July 10, 2009 Hi Jamie Webster race engineering got them for me, next day delivery and not that expensive You know you need some on them Weld rims Have you managed to sort Jap brakes for the rear yet? I still haven't changed mine, I'm going to buy some new 15" rims, wheel stud etc for next season so i'll keep the uk's on until then.

JamieP Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Nice one, yeah ive got j-spec rear brakes now, im droping the car to LeeP this weekend to start getting it ready for suprapod, full oil service (engine/diff/gearbox) fitting the brakes and installing the linelock.

GazB Posted July 10, 2009 Author Share Posted July 10, 2009 Your'll like the line lock it's so easy to us and road tyre disapear so quickly. I should have mine disconnected for road use I have been told that the MT's don't need to much warming before a run on a prepped track and not to be shocked if diff or drive shafts fail due to extra grip on launch So my trailer may well come in useful I'm looking forward to Suprapod after missing last year after clutch broke the week before, i've only driven the car a couple of times this year and non of them have been on the 1/4 mile so i've got withdrawals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazB Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 Yes Yes Yes Boost leak fixed Managed to grab a 20 min test track run tonight to see if i'd fixed boost leak I'd forgot just what a difference it made from 0.8bar to 1.4bar after going to Ace cafe last time out and realising it wasn't boosting right Test track was slighty damp so she was spinning rears in 3rd but pulled very nicely Glad to say the 'Fat ar*ed evil bitch' is back without costing me more money just in time for suprapod :d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T2 MSW Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 You're now a single as well so i don't think it'll be that far and you never know, if you launch well and get traction Yeah right, could not get the launch right on the Auto, god knows how bad ill be in a manual.
