that would be great! would definately put them on and get rid of my old ones. Cheers. To be honest I won because I was the best prepared car out there. I had a very good set of track tires...Kumho V700 Victor Racers, and what really helped me over the other 4wds was my boost response, my power, and my LSD's in my drivetrain. I am hitting 1.3 bar, 100% DC on 510 injectors, at approximately 3500 RPM. So the cars boost response my my power FC D-jetro is lightning fast. Which gives me a huge advantage out of the hole and transient response between gears. My car was by far the fastest car on the course. The funny part is my car isnt even tuned yet. I have just put a rough map on it using the pro-commander (my data-log it kit is on its way).

Got another track day this next weekend. A much larger more competative event. Got some major toe out adjustments to do yet and some tuning tweaks to get my car where I want it.
