real sticky

Summitomo.... As a road racer I have taken to looking for a for low tread wear rating. These were very inexpensive and stick better than any of the top brands...that are not D.O.T. roadrace tires. And...when you heat them up at the track you have to dig the pebbels out of the soft rubber from the return road.
You cant lose buying these.

Mike, you need to start considering that old rear diff and axles. They might not like 1.6 short times hahaha

Btw - I've finally started working some on my car again. Maybe I'll be up and running in another couple months.

Stephen, you are right.. I think I am just going to push my luck! Steve was telling me how he launches and sid it will help from destroying the diff and axle. I figure as soon as I get the clutch in (got the new SPEC 3+) and get a few miles on it I will go to the track and break the rear end!!!!

What turbo are you going with?
