how do you got for traction with only a 6 inch rim on the back? like under full throttle the tail would travel alot right?

Yes mate, the supercharged 1600 is travelling well. Should be ready to drop into my mates cortina airflow very soon. Then its onto the new track car. And yes, the sr20 is still absolutely flying. The wife and kids also experienced it at full throttle and the only comment from the wife was "do you know how much rubber you lost then"[88] quote:

g'day Rhys, What traction?[88] Its actually really smooth on boost and a very flat stable car so its controllable. Can be scary in the wet and you have to feather the throttle a fair bit. The Toyos are a good sticky tire. Have been known to get very very sideways.[:u] quote:

Not at the moment mate. Would have had an absolute beauty the other week but the other guy didn't have a camera. Im sure the locals at the Paxton pub would have caught some footage. They wouldn't let me leave until i did something special. Did that in a big way. Had the car at full lock in both directions and i didn't have time to look back at the smoke. Had to back right off to straighten up, otherwise i was grazing with the cattle in the next paddock. [:u] Will try to get some footage again soon, now that i can really give her some with the current drive train.

Yeah after i posted i looked again ... and saw what they were...Are you going to keep them on?? I like it better with the others on... or may be get a set of clear ones from Burtons... clear ones would look shyt hot on your car...and while your at Burtons get the rear ones to suit...
