Looks good, bet your excited for the Ringwood event.

Went and watched a state round there last year, looks like a fun track.

I've got my Lap dash event on the same weekend here in Tamworth. Can't wait.

Hahaha

 

 

Nice job never the less Matt.

 

 

IIRC Bruce McPhee (the bloke who won Bathurst in 1968 driving all but one lap) fitted a smaller and much lighter battery under a hollowed out shell of the cars original battery, as the cars those days had to remain virtually 'off the showroom floor' standard.

 

 

 

That concludes today's useless history lesson.

Im keen to give the Tamworth track a run one day soon... ut Ringwood should be a blast...and they can set it up a few different ways aswell which make it interesting

Hahaha

So i was chasing some rims to put some super sticky rubber on for the hillclimbs

And thanks to Pat i have scored some Ultraleggeras in 17x8 +48...ie they clear brembos

And they look porn!

Also scored a set of ADVAN A050's in the soft (g/s) compound that have 60% life left as a bit of a taste tester to see if theyre what i want in the longrun

Hard part is that now ive tried the new rims on...i really like them lol

And have been tempted to run them daily

But they seem like a much better choice for the hillclimbs because

1:theyre lighter
Ultraleggeras weigh 16.8kg with tyres
STi rims weigh 19.8kg with tyres

12kg of unsprung weight off the car is a big chunk

2:theyre wider
8 inch vs 7.5 inch

Running the same 225/45 so not as important..but should be a more stable platform

3: better offset
Ultraleggeras +48
STi +53

Ie...wider track again...with the gd arms etc there isnt much room left with these on lol

So yeah i think theyre the better option


For the moment anyways lol....i really want some of the STi 17s that bosskong has as a daily rim...but in the foz offset

[Barbbachello]

They look tits

[patttyfox]

Tits as usual!

Hmm serious kongman? So 17s? same as yours? Or the foz offset?

Yep these tyres will be gone asap and replaced by the A050's, so i cbf tyre shining something i wont be running lol, this was simply a test fitment

And i think Robs taking these tyres off me....theyre michelin pilot SS with a tiny bit of life left in them

[Robert]

I don't think they are foz offset


Good luck getting a hold of him though
He's out of the country for the rest of this year and some of the next

[Matt]

Are yours the sti or foz offset mate?

Ah really Rob....sucks

[Matt]

55...as in +55 offset?
