well there isnt a fixed size i like to run...

usually the rears are slightly bigger before the run.. and after its slightly
smaller.

with 38 front 35 rear i see a big diff in the wear.. but with 35sh all round
it isnt that bad...

my last race i rac 35 all round... was much better.. but the previous week the 38 front work good... depends on the traction on the day i suppose..

i like to run the car a bit soft... i found i was battling using the stiffer setup the other chaps use...
im busy tinkering more with the roll centers toget more corner speed...

Run 32sh all round, should be good place for good steering and good rear grip..

Also whats the story with this Vadaz oke in SA ?, word over here in AUS is that he's some porno star?

it's just what i've heard, no brand in particular, but make sure it has a high factor rating, or it doesnt stay in the tyre.

So as a result, I don't know if you apply the additive first, or the suntan lotion, logic would tell me to apply the additive first, or it won't be "sealed in" by the suntan lotion.

hope that helps

Suntan lotion was the hot ticket when 235mm pan cars were running on asphalt, just apply, let it dry and then wipe it off..

Yawww!!, check Vada"s"z has a fan base!..

The day Vadasz does an 11 sec lap at k90, is the day i stop racing, and i'm not talking about "suspicious" 11 sec lap by cutting the horse shoe out!..

No I didn't break anything?! Why would I... TRFs are quality!

I ran Open stock... came 3rd just after Danie 2nd and Sage 1st

Also took 3rd in 1/12th mod with Johnathan 2nd, dunno who was 1st

Great day
