you are doing something way wrong if you put a screwdriver through the steel.

well i thought it was funny :p
i might start my weight reduction by swapping my 17s for 16s, does anyone know how much heavier a 5 lug conversion compared to the OEM eg vti brakes
i race on 17s
i had no idea there was tar on the cars belly. interesting...
Yeah... that's all you really need for a track slut. Its certainly not chip resistant, but nothing to worry about if you're keeping an eye on it every so often.
For those that are more anal about keeping the underside free from surface rust from chips, POR15 or even better... treatment and coatings from Xtroll (Aussie product to boot) is your best bet.
interesting you are racing on 17's ... why do you 'need' 17's? I think a 16" would be much better, have you done any load calcs? i.e. 16 225 should be ample with more sidewall flex (mech grip).. without taking into account the increased unsprung mass.
i am hearing you mate, i would even rather go smaller like 15s. but the reason is cause i get full slick 1 meet old for about $50 a tyre and as funds are all ways low these are sweet for me.
but i still like using 17s i dont seem to have a prob rounding people up.
i managed to pull 14kgs of tar from inside my dc2 (thats including the dash lining stuff) using a flat edged hammer drill bit on just the hammering function. then also ripped all my heater boxes out which weighed a crap load... still to do under the car...
Awesome thread.The best threads are the ones where people are just sharing experiences,like this one.
Good work!
I'm gonna attack some more sound deadening,might even be able to strip some kg's before trackday,on saturady!
Vtecrx,will U be racing Kermit out there Saturday - SAS?
