lol . I sucked *** yesterday, tires werent sticking at all.. I used to think shitty bald tires would be easier to drift with, but noppee its harder.. you actually need alot of grip for drifting.. I need tires !!! I might skip next weeks, and save $ for tires for the 626 event in balcony..
Yo keep the battery tiedown, I found another one in my garage !

I cant tell yet because this week I drove with shitty tires. I need freshor half tread tires to compare last weeks runs and tell what kind of difference there is.. Its does feel less "snappy " tho... Are you going to try it Sean? Its only 6 bolts total holding the sway bar. All 12mm bolts..just get a ratchet and extension..

hey Sean just curious, what tire sizes were you running thursday? and what dampening did you set your coilovers at? I know we have the same coilovers. if only we could figure out what setup to run with to conquer the nissans!

If Im going this thursday, Im probably going to run a 235 and 245 tire setup... a big jump from 215 and 235...Its the only tires I have left in my garage..Im having them mounted tmrw.. Im just kinda scared cuz I dunno if my fc can spin the mighty potenzas 245s...

hm. yeah I thought it would be too wide. Well I can try 215 in the front and 235 potenzas rear.. The thing is the 215s is the nexens.. nexens in the front...iono man... nexens dont grip well...maybe if I played with a softer tire pressure in front it might work...

well, my coilovers are not dampening adjustable As for the tires, I am running 235 feddy's with 30 psi, and spun them without a problem. There was a lot of grip too. Just do what oilcover said, and put those 245s to 50psi or so. Or maybe just 40 since it's cold when we get to the track. I was kinda jealous too that the nissans were tearing it up

what tire pressure do you normally run on those 215's?

if the tire is decent enough you should be ok. that course is like maximum 45mph..?
run like 32 front and 40 rear with 235's or 50 with 245's.

215s haveit at 50 psi. I usualy run them in the rear. I run them that high psi to make sure it holds out the stretch for dd. I l lower it to 35 and run it up front and bump the 235s rear to like 50psi .. Il test it out this week.. after I figure out the sweeett spot it wil be awesome..
if shoneeko can spin 235s ez, then it should be okay for me too haha
