Went to the final track day for the year before christmas. Didn't go any faster with the weight reduction but found it easy to run constant 1.32s. It was a pretty hot day and rear tires started delaminating. My mate works for the local holden dealer and they just became kuhmo agents so he can do me a deal on sum v700 semislicks. Next track day not to april so should get sum by then. Also picked up sum dellortos cheap. Seem to be in ok condition
just need a clean out, rejetting and a manifold and good to go. Figured out how to plot the track with corner speeds and stuff on my iPod too.

Scored sum half worn r888 toyos off a guy who up graded his breaks on a gtir and couldn't fit 14s any more.
They are 205/55/14s. I will put these on for the next track day and not touch anything else to see how much difference just the tires make.

Next intermarque sprints on 1 April and manawatu car club on 15 April. There is other stuff on before then but you need a rollcage.

Track day on next weekend. Had front tires fitted to sum 35 offset rims, fitted camber plates and managed to fit the 205 with no rubbing.
also got me a cheap fiberglass seat. Keen too see what sort of difference these tires make.

Nice camber plates , fixed ? Nice set up. Keen to see how the semis go, I got a set of formula fora slicks to try

Camber plates are noltec from a r30 skyline. They have two alloy plates with a steel one between. Steel one has the pillow ball and can move to give you camber and caster. They just squash together so hopefully they won't move from driving.

Went to track today. Had great wether and a small field of car (more runs for me). Tires made a huge difference ran constant 1.29 all day. Best was 1.29.06
Had a few traction issues out of hairpin but the happens when the inside wheels are not touching the ground! My gps #OOPS# itself so couldn't use my track timer.
Grip sorted now i need more power! its a vicious cycle.

Photo from latest track day. Rollcage probably not a bad idea.
