Originally posted by Picard The tyres sparksy has are rubbish :sneaky: If you guys have the chance, give the new Ellegi tires a go. Better wear as what rcabj mentioned as the rubber is more dense. Grip is excellent too. Originally posted by Picard He was runnin g 198 F and 200 R track width |

I think if you have a fast sweeper, using 200 mm in the front should make the car very stable. I would be interested in trying a set, where did you get them from? Mushroom? I run 199 in the front, sparksy like 198, we both had good speed in the sweeper, but now I find rthe car to be too responsive, I am swimming in steering and the rear can't keep up, but I think that could also be my happy trigger finger and the clutch is a little too aggressive :sneaky: |
Originally posted by InitialD How is that calculated? On the droop gauge (+1) or by lifting the chassis up 1 mm from the ride height before the front wheels start to lift of the ground? Are those dish type rims or the ones with the +2 offset? What was your front and rear trackwidth? 200mm rear 198mm front track |
Originally posted by Picard Do you find them as good as speedminds D BTW, with the new Ellegis, I needed to screw in the pivot ball more. With the new Ellegis, I would end up about 1 mm wider in front and the rear than I would with the Speedminds. So now I set the trackwidth with the Ellegis and when I switch to Speedminds, I use self made hex lexan spacers to space out the wheels to get the same trackwidths.

Originally posted by InitialD Yeah I would think so... But I don't know if it's me or something else but I find the Speedmind tires wear down a lot too these days. Perhaps it's the track surface. I also noticed that their rubbers are not as dense as before I used to remember. I'll go and check again. BTW, with the new Ellegis, I needed to screw in the pivot ball more.

However, we get ours at our LHS since the price is about the same before shipping. :lol: Yeah you're right. It's driving style and preference. I think the wider front should tame your car a little.:nod: We will try the new tyres weather I want to or not (sparksy will make sure of it) :rolleyes: |
Originally posted by Picard I actually find that on the front of the car I have to turn in the knuckles heaps to get 199 with the speedminds. We will try the new tyres weather I want to or not (sparksy will make sure of it) :rolleyes: We have to try the snake rims. |
See what I mean D :rolleyes:
Hard to argue with that |

Yeah.. no arguments Picard.
We have 2 good races to go before I'm off to Malaysia, and I only have the 40 & 42 Fasts left in the tire box. |

I have too many PM and remember reading something from sombody about coming over. I think I have accidentally deleted it as I don't have that PM anymore. Just PM me again. I remember you asked me about something... Cheers. |
He was probably asking for some driving lessons D :D

Well he does make me spend all my money on snake goodies so I have to get back at him some how ;)
