I heard beer and girls.

Would you perhaps have a night time video of those @normancw ?
I'll need these for an upcoming mod of mine I think.

They aren't as light as, say, the Enkei PF01's, but I'm a sucker for 5-spoke designs. Combined weight of wheel + tire = 43.5 lbs, about 4.5 lbs heavier than the stock 17" wheel with winters on it. Such is the price I'm paying for style.

A big thanks to @Slick -- great price, great service, what more could you want? Free beer? Grid girls?

I believe I was admiring these in Slicks the other day when I was there...
looks great!

Looks good...I'm a big fan of wheels with less than too many spokes. Me likes Bridgestones too.

I just want to give a shout out, props, two thumbs way up to @Slick. Best. Tire. Service. In. Town. ANY. Town.

Any of you'd guys have a hook up on 2.5 inch titanium piping? I picked up a tomei 60r mid pipe would like to continue the exhaust out of titanium

Last night was opening night at ICar. Spur of the moment I decided to go try out my new tires. Was cold, and wet, so the concrete wasn't all that grippy. But I had a blast. Annihilated my best time from last year, and I even had the best time of the night 😊
I'm car 4. The inconsistency in times is from trying different lines, different ways of launching, and from not going balls deep through the finish line since there's basically a wall 80 feet from the finish which I'm crossing at 120km/h when staying on it until the very end. Stock brakes were getting a little smelly lol

Also question for track guys.
Wheel bearings.
Mine seemed to be making some noise. Is this normal? Nothing excessive, and it might even be the tires. It's a pretty tight course with a really tight chicane.

Anyways.
If I can borrow a computer I'll have some video up

Sure it isn't 86 feet?

Well done!
Just wondering if you ever did the MCO Auto-X events like Kenny, Klinn and others do?

Congrats on the top finish!

The finish must have been a little spooky, especially on wet concrete. Is that the usual configuration for ICar or do they normally have a more friendly cool-down area after the finish line?

HeadBanger · 04-22-2015, 11:01 AM

@FRS_Ken Nope. This is just my second time doing any sort of event. Went once last year.

This is the usual configuration. It wasn't that wet at the finish. But there was a couple puddles throughout the course

I like the bright reverse!
If I hadn't spent so much on Toms and Valenti combo, I'd be rockin this setup myself for sure.
