Needs decent tyres badly !

Will roll the arches and run some doughnuts. I like a tyre with a good sidewall you know !

Evo wheels look really great but you need the lip kit to finish off the car. :mrgreen:

Recently went on track with the boys for a shakedown

It’s was wet and cold

225 45 17 AD08Rs up front
225 45 17 AVON ZZR’s on the rear “death”

I had catastrophic oversteer. To the point people asked if it was RWD :lol: I’ve ordered a 4WS Locking pin from Mart! Hopefully that’ll sort some over the oversteer issues

Currently waiting to buy a 70mm TB for my accord type R inlet “to match the engine :oops:” which I’ll then need to port I guess to accommodate some RC Injectors ?????

Was really happy with the noise test came
Out at a mere 88DB

Brakes were good

Didn’t scrub despite handling bum droppings

All round quite successfully didn’t use a drop of oil

Fully undersealed the thing and used a spray gun with cavity wax to preserve it as best a possible

Haven’t hardly used to prelude at all maybe 500 miles

Been too busy running this in

The Avon rear tyres would be causing oversteer.

I suspect that's because you have ad08r on the front taking all the grip.. Try the same tyre all round and then get an alignment and then look at the 4ws.

Had a evening session with the boys

Include a JZX100
K20 DC2
EP3
DC2
Puma powered fiesta
Si import - thing is quick!

Here’s a few shots, see the 4ws working hard

Tried chasing Si for a while but just haven’t got to uphhh to keep up with a couple of time ambition outweighing talent although the day went trouble free with only a very brief encounter with some grass,

Complaints .... susspesions just to soft with dampening maxes out the Teins I’m sure just don’t have the spring rate.

Brakes .... need upgrading

Power ... always wanting more right s300 ordered inlet and 68mm Tb being port matched

Cars currently sporting no door skins plastic windows, full ac lines and motor delete

Drop a comment :-)
