Are you crazy? Ever seen a racecar with stretched tyres??

Oh, I did

You've said more by saying nothing.

Ever heard of the phrase.

cause racecar...



Anyway, who said anything about racecar? All I said, was it helps with protecting the shoulders, am I wrong? You will see it more on the drift seen, granted, specifically for that reason.


Stock tyres have a tread width of 7.5" so ideally you want 7.5" or 8" rims. I did do my research before hand. This is indeed beneficial. Too much stretch is no good.

Just a fast search, to back myself up, here.

"Are there any speed bumps on the way."
"Can you check if I clear that leaf."

True, because I won't be able to get into my driveway if I do it

[sav]

LOL time to look for a new driveway then...

[Freedom]

I've tried having it fixed.

Whatever, you win.
I want to argue with you, but I'm too old and senile to argue.
So maybe we should just disagree, and somebody once said it's OK to disagree.
Let's have a beer

[Freedom]

There's nothing to argue about

Result:
The rear pads are great, and much cheaper than Toyota or anyone else, so buy them!!

The front pads are great for road use, but they don't cut the cake on track.
Here's my session 1 and 2 videos.
The pads lasted 4 laps in session 1 and 6 laps in session 2, before very serious soft pedal fade.

To get a comparison, I then changed to a very second-hand send of Endless MX72's and suddenly, the world was back where it should be.

Here's the videos.
Session 1 was with my daughter on board, and session 2 was with her
boyfriend in the car.

Mr @FT_86_SM_GP - now you can see in the second video how quick you really are.
Well done!!

Here is a lap from from your second video, from my point of view... when I was following you:

[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88P-yx8Ss8Y"]Supertrax 1/11/2015 following Andy - YouTube[/ame]

Despite you using stock brake pads(subaru), you were quick around that track!

Drifted away on the straights and I can only imagine the time you did, because I was following you and did 1m19 on that lap.

Was good following you, enjoyed observing your lines,
(Couldn't really emulate them as you were too far ahead)
