Had the back end step out on me tonight. Carried too much speed into a corner panicked and touched the brakes mid corner. Straightened up almost immediately though. Really need to get signed up for some track days so I can learn the limits of this thing

And you aren't down here in sunny southern Arizona at our private track getting practice because?
Come down and play, Charlie and I are bored otherwise

x3 re ovlov's (242)

the nankangs I mentioned last page are AR1's.
$132AUD each my mate paid for 17" - effen awesome (especially for the price) he said who ran them a couple weeks ago.

best bit - they make 'em in 13's!!

whether or not you can get hold of em is another matter, but if you can't get AO50's (which only go down to 14"), they are the next best thing around at the moment

Haha nice! And true dat brother i hear ya on that. Im currently redoing the entire suspension, brakes, timing belt and water pump, pcv system, heater core and and bunch of other things to my 98 glt wagon. Also i might be acquiring the 98 t5 sedan down the street from me for peanuts to convert my wagon to a T5. Huge project that im in but i love it! But the festiva thing caught me just as bad as the volvo did. Only 2 cars out of the hundred or so cars ive owned that have done this to me hahaha im an addict lol

I have a 01 9-3 and 98 v70 t5. They're awesome when they're running and I don't have to buy parts for them lol. I need to sell the volvo though.

The wheels are still on the car. They aren't going anywhere yet lol.

When you spin the wheels, bolted to the car, how much run out are you seeing? These low offset wheels are less than friendly when they are bent or not true at all. I had a hub that ended up being bent on Pedro. I couldn't feel the vibration with high offset, but with my ET10 BBS wheels, it was unbearable.

I did a runout test on the balancer when I rebalanced the nankangs. It said they're all in spec. The left front hub has a good amount of play in it and I feel it mostly in the steering wheel. I'm gathering all the stuff I need to rebuild the front hubs right now.

I'm on Achilles now. Still have vibrations/shakes pretty sure it's from play in the LF wheel bearing . I may just get a set of 14" tires for my miata wheels just for track days.



I'm still running festy injectors not aspire ones.



exim "mesh" 13x6.5 +13ish. I forget the exact wheel model but they usually pop up for sale as "exim mesh".

In unrelated news the saab is back together and running better than ever..... Until it split a heater hose lol. Think it made it about 10 miles this time.

A few of us have been trying to get those Nankangs, I think TheAstronaut scored a set in 15". Hopefully we start seeing more off brand track tires here, I'm sick of giving Yokahama 200 bucks a tire for stickies.

Get a set of those sticky federals for your 13's before you do a track day. The Nankangs don't hold up well to track abuse.

if you boys can get nankangs, they've got a new semi slick out that's not bad. unsure if they do it in a 13 tho...
I'll get back with more info.

[reyestuninggarag]

Oh and btw, what did u do with the wheels? Sell em yet?
