The fellow that drives the quick 300zx there (he is a member on here too), can supply Bridgestone RE55s for very reasonable prices. Tyres sizes and prices are here: http://www.amecautocare.com.au/bridgestonetyres.htm |

Craig has quite a bit of experience with hillclimbs and other such motorsport events. k thanks might give him a call and see what he has to say. No one has mentioned the yoko's is that because no one has had any experience or they are that just not realy rated?? Thanks guys. Steve |

I wish I could in mine as well but it's probably best I not :\ QUOTE(rsea @ Sep 11 2007, 01:41 PM) [snapback]1281423265[/snapback] Hey fellas, I'm moving down from Townsville next week and this looks like awesome fun. We've got something similar up here but it's run on a go-kart track. Still bloody good fun Anyway look forward to meeting a few of you out there We come for the racing and the spooning QUOTE(scd8316v @ Sep 12 2007, 09:28 AM) [snapback]1281426472[/snapback] Hi Guys, Been watching this thread for a while, and been out to the sprints a few times my self, I drive one of the renault clio's that are getting around out there. I ordered a set of trackday wheels from the uk for the wee beast and they have finnaly landed so i am just after some ppls opinions on semi slicks and if any one has a supplier they can suggest. I am looking at the yokohama A048 at them moment but any feedback would be good. Cheers guys and I will be out there Saturday so say hi. Steve You guys need to buy them in other colours then blue and orange ... it's so hard to keep track while photographing them QUOTE(jezza323 @ Sep 12 2007, 09:52 AM) [snapback]1281426519[/snapback] This is my opinion basically the best of the best are dunlops and those ones with just the 2 grooves...hankooks? mind blank atm, but they are exxy next in line are the bridgestones, which are cheap in some sizes, exxy in others and finally you have the toyos, silverstones etc which are decent but quite a bit cheaper in most sizes not sure where kumhos fit in but ive heard they are decent I'd probably rate the Bridgestone RE55S and Advan A048 over the Dunlops ... they are pretty much the only two tyres the Japs will use to do time attacks But lets open it up for the folks playing at home Which semi slick do you guys rate ? |

The RE55S look pretty good and are a little cheaper than the A048. The next question after the what ppl think are the better slick is what compound would be best for a 1040kg hatch around QR.

id rate the yoko's about the same as the bridgestones, but both still under the dunlops QUOTE Sounds like the Starlet is getting secret work done ... only secret work being done is mounting a fire extinguisher so i can compete in the MGCCQ sprint on the 22nd  then ripping as much interior out as i can before the 22nd

RE55's for me but i think compound might not be the best for a light clio? & the soft is not a road legal tyre. |

Every time i go out its mostly GTR's & Evo's I might have to go RWD next...less competition Yep that white 33 is quick but im talking about the one thats heading over to race in Japan soon...im sure i read somewhere he was considering a run at Sat sprints. If i can scab a lift im there anyway. Yeah the Black R32 GTR is Mark & Russ's weapon, they are completely re-building it for Tsukuba and Tokyo Autosalon. I know they were keen to get out there to shake it down before heading to Wakefield, it would be awesome to see how much quicker it is now! I reckon 53's won't be far off the mark personally.... |

I've been really busy with work and training this year and have not had a chance to take both of my cars out. I faxed the form for the s2k this weekend but got a bit of problem with the s2k gear stick at the moment. Hopefully it will be fixed otherwise, I may have to take the c32 out  The GTR should be a bit quicker next year if I have time to take it out How is your progressing? I really hope Mark and Russel will be able to come out this weekend. It will be fun to watch. |
