I was running 165s but had troubles getting them spinning without massive dumping it style in third due to taking out bulk timing. I doubt it would have spat 100rwkw. I did get some video from our old cam recorder but unfortunatelly cant get that format to computer. I did notice that i was heaps slower than most people even on my fastest runs, i was in third doing 4000+rpm entry to corner, so fourth may be neaded as i get braver, not for a while  . Pritty scarey when you leave the track going that fast.
Ange i have invested well over 10g into the 1200 and its reaching the point were its too much of a compromise to keep it on the street. Its massivelly illegal, too fast for my own good and i need to keep my lisence. Im not that stressed if it gets a few extra dents etc, its a bogmobile, not to mension its had a dodgy rear cut arc welded on at some stage, not like its a original, my white resto project will be my cruiser. Plus driving it out there leaves you praying you can drive it home.
Anyone have any thoughts on camber, im thinking now that im running too much, helping understeer. I have stanza struts (destined for the bin) and strut tops adjusted all the way in. It was getting entry understeer also helped by not enough grunt to light up, just push through.
Also 185*60*14 peeled of the rim twice in spins, maybe too tall a profile, or 30psi pressure to low.
Anyone setup or been involved in setting up a drift setup car, Im thinking if i get maybe 120y struts so i have full travell and maybe convert to coilover style with good shockies and stiffer springs. Stiffen the rear heaps (diff was hitting floor and im not that low, also new shockies, aim for conservative 2degree camber as no body roll and bit of caster? Would like to get the thing as smooth as possible, very twitchy and hard to catch atm. Also i will keep posted here with updates, haha just need some big dish rims now!
