You think car racing is fun... try going down a river stuck in a plastic tube dodging rocks... even I ask myself why
Should just be a straight bolt up and yea, will be worthwhile upgrade if you can get a set. Front only tho, the back are fine.will the euro r ones gain much? and do you have to space out or anything? i know they for 300mm rather than 282mm aswell........

If you like the style of wing keep it, who cares what all the fanboys say, are you building the car for your self or what? As jarred had said, brake up grades are a good place to start. Get your self some hawk H.P pads and new disks as you can.
The r888 is an excellent tyre for what you will be doing. Try and get some more susspension braces too, they do help.
Get to know your car, go drive a few country roads, to the speed limit and get used to how your car handles around corners.
The better you know the way your car handles, the better you know how you can push it on the track.

oh thanks man!! sweet! got an angel in my corner!.. anyway i already got ebc's red stuff at the fronts, and Bendix ultimate at the rear( need to get the rear rotors machined tho). ahahhaha! not yet installed, last week i got green stuff(whole set front and rears),,sad,, i returned it back to the retailer, as it was damaged. and yeahp, replaced it with ebc red and bendix ultim8!
don't tell hamiltonians ok,, every monday and wednesday early morning like 3am i wake up just to practice at hamilton400's track. LOL! and my uncle from morrinsville, that is an open place (20ks straight)to speed up to 160ks above..stupid enough? but it helps.LOL

Ah i see, i'm running bendix ultimate all round at the moment, as i could get them very cheap at the time. They have been very good so far, no fading, but they will be put to test at the next track day i go to at taupo.
Last track day i went to was nimm, and it was wet most of the day and dry with puddles the rest of the day lol.
Theres a few very good driving roads around here, scotchmans valley which runs between the hamilton - morinsville road and walton. And toataroa road that runs between karapero mobile (sh1 south of cambridge) and SH29 near matamata. These roads are both good for getting used to the handling of your car under the legal speed limit

My Bendix Ultimate after 1 track day...
EBC Red and green are crap too.
Serously, do it once, and do it right!
How much did the Znoellis cost you? Brand new Mugen from Honda are only $400.
Make sure you get your suspension set up right. I spent ages at NIMM setting it up right just trying to get it to stay on the track!
16" wheels with R888's will be sweet.
Keep your 17"s for the road with normal tyres.
Strut braces galore! Don't be shy!
Thats crazy, my bendix ultimate pads were barely worn after taupo, but that was only 25 laps to be fair. 5 sessions of 5 laps, the next track day will put them to the test!

^ Yea, these bigger cars are a heap harsher on brakes. I had soo many issues with brake fade and everything!
bro at least change that rear lip
vinny is my hero
Well you have spent money on brakes what is a good thing. (get some token mugen brake fluid, its better than all the rest
You could get some strut bars. How about a tein rear bar. Will go good with your suspension (I have the same in my car).
Apart from that, get some good tires, and you should be away laughing
Looking good eh
pagid pads or nothing...
6 track days , 16,000ks and still more than half worn
LOL! I start work not long after that, im sure i could get up a bit earlier and meet you around there one day, im only in a slow arse mitsi.
Circle Jerk Crew!!! Two many awards to list.
No use rebuying what you've arleady bought. Unless you can exchange them for the above recommendations.
I'm trying to look for ways so I can get a set of semis for the track. stuff everything else, I wanna stay on the tarmac!
umad?
wat. public road?
umad?
Znoelli cost me $250.. far out 150 more and i got mugen already! I shud've ask you how much did it cost you man!
nah,, its already there, waste of money if i do,, yeah ur ryt tho! maybe in d future not this time
haha! yeah man! right! let's see how this things go, i will let you all know.(promise)LOL!
AGREE!
