    Tyres and Wheels

    Will look at the V105's I am running stock suspension why do you think the AD's wouldn't work well with this setup?

    I try.......Need all the help I can get on track so I figure keeping it shiny and clean reduces drag

    Post track day clean, removed tyre rubber marks from the paintwork, and also got off the chunks of rubber stuck to the inside and on the wheels.

    Agree on the road brilliant, not impressed on track at all Would like Toyo R888 don't seem to come in the size needed will look at Yoko's next and possible on its on wheel set, have to wait though!!! Next track day is October so some time to sort, be nice to have something to try then.

    I am on your favourites....not Goodyear F1's they actually were more predictable once they were at the second part of the day and just stayed hot, transition was unpleasant in the morning. Yes fourth for Church, just felt it needed a bit more in places, was trying to keep the revs up but sometimes your in a situation where you want a little more.

    My GT86

    Took the GT86 to Anglesey today did around 70/75 laps in the end both International GP Circuit and the Costal Circuit. Great track in good condition, nice facilities, GT86 worked well couple of observation did feel it need a little more power, great chassis dynamics truly stunning just needs a little bit more on the track or at least I felt it did, looking at the pictures and others cars it stays relatively flat into and out of corners, feels that way too. Tyres hot day, hot track and I was working the car hard they looked a mess and one tyre has a worn edge now, played with pressures which made some difference, but could feel the tyre’s come and go, certain points where it felt unstable and had to come in an cool them down a bit then they’d be great again. From this research some more on track day tyres, maybe time for a separate set of wheels, and also the consideration of adding a bit more power or responsiveness at the lower ends of the rev range, all that said what a great day in a great car am certainly loving the GT86. Some pictures taken by xtreme sports photography. Rest of pic's here http://s151.photobucket.com/user/forge197/slideshow/GT86/Anglesey

    Would be different but don't think it looks great. Does remind me of this though
  13. That's how it should come from the factory, like that a lot.

    Red and black looks best out of all. What about white and black? Or black and white try both ways round, maybe good time for a carbon bonnet

    Originally posted in my mods log not a mod more show and shine Quick clean this evening wanted to try some Gyeon Bath+ and it was a bit dusty, then for some reason went for a 30min spin, such a sweet handling car what a joy to drive. Seems shiny

    It's not my favourite colour combo but conceptually I like just needs a different colour mix. IMHO.
