I'm definitely up for a drag just to experience it. I don't feel I will be so great with all that reaction time stuff, but oh wells.

All I need to do is sort out a helmet. I won't mind buying one of my own because once I get my hands on a helmet, I'm definitely going to hit up the track.

For sure I wouldn't mind swapping the rims... out of all people though... it has to be you... the one person who makes me always feel like doing something to the Aurion.

This is only going to lead to a bigger hole in my wallet. We all know what I'm going to think after seeing some good rims on my car.

what about thursday nights rowan? i believe some events are held on thursday nights as well...

just race on 20s... its not like you're gonna do a skid... doing a skid on street tyres is just a waste of rubber...

plus, then you can say "i race a 14.xx in FULL street trim" and therefore gaining more street cred... lol

i'll be racing on 20s... cause i cant be ****** changing rims... hahaha

its not the rubber that im worried about i wont be skidding cos there is no point on streets.

its the weight, 7 kg per wheel/tire i wont even be able to break the 15.0 with that...i noticed alot of diff when i had the other rims on for fat pipes day

they recon for every 1.5 kg extra on your wheels its 10kg in the car so that means 186.6kg extra in my car....mmmm nup lol

i can see why people go really light now

willowbank have test and tunes on wednesday nites.

They are good because you can run anything for $36 as many times as you like.

Posted

yeah, no doubt that 20s make you slower... BUT, when you drive with 20s on the street, then imo, you should go to the track with 20s...

its just a personal little 'issue' i have...

those people who strip out the WHOLE interior, spare wheel, etc. etc.. then they claim they run a 3sec 1/4 mile...

and at the end of the day, i beat them on the street with my 14sec POS... :huh:

Where'd you get that from? Its just I've always heard different for wheels. Something like 2 times the wheel weight to get chassis weight. Not saying I'm right, curious to know. I usually ignore the 'rules' and just try and go light regardless.

Posted

i must admit i was more than curios where the 10kg for every 1.5kg came from.

secaboy has a point. i think it's logit to take out spare and have standard wheels on, but ppl that pull out seats and interior...

if i see you travelling around on your 20s 313, i'm gonna embarass your a$$. if only it was me instead of the missus that saw you last week.

I'm going to go with street trim like what Ash has said. I'll feel better that way. May not be the same time as your Rowan, but it will be a realistic figure.

I've got no issues with stripping out the car. I'm jsut saying I want to obtain a figure with my car as it is.

I want to see if your engine is pushing out more power now.

Posted

the back seats dont really weigh fuk all do they? if they dont ill leave them in and my extent of stripping other than that is everything in the boot, sub and wheel....thats it

i emagine u will be doing that aswell.

then i will really know if there is a difference with my car....and then it will be same "weight reduction" as yours lol

just need some wheels now

The back seats don't weigh much, but when it comes to cutting down weight, every kg counts. I'll just be stripping out the boot stuff as well. That sub of mine is pretty heavy.

i ran at the track with all seats in, all interior trim, even the spare, i took out the tools as you have to take stuff out that flies around.

i won't run in a 60 zone, only a 100 zone, i'm too old for that sort of trouble. come to the track in july, and see if you can overtake me down the main straight (you'll hit 160+). don't worry i'll wait for you round the windy stuff..lol

I usually prefer the wed nite test and tunes, but i'm easy.

State of Origin nights are best as long as you dont want to see the footy.

Have known people to get 10+ runs on State of origin nights.
