Need more traction!

Iirc he gets around 25%

Set of 16 x 9 with 8j front would knock me just under £1100 - 25% is around £825.

Those first set of RS's are origional 073/4's, and he wants £1500

Those second set, on the golf, have a cracked barrel on one of the wheels iirc.

If you like anything on the Image site let me know. I can get you a nice fat discount!
ooh really?

how much you think the image billet 19's, 13" x 10" in 4x100 would be? wanted a set for my mk1 golf for ageeees
Look on their site and calculate it yourself in the pricing section and whatever it comes to i can get you about 20% to 25% off

Took me ages to find the thread.

Thought id update this.

Im now running thicker spring pads on the rear (10mm iirc) so there is less camber, i also now like the raked look of the car.
Im also now running 225 40 16 tyres, continental sport contact 2's which imo aint a bad tyre.

Its getting there, still lights up in 1st but 2nd is much better when i stamp on the pedal, i just get a little screech now and im off.

i'm worried i've got something wrong now lee as i don't get any dry weather traction issues yet. If i stamp on it at 2k revs it just pulls nicely through the rev range. If you were a bit closer i'd pop over so you could have a drive. Having not driven a M30'd e30 before i'm not really sure what to expect. I'll get it on a RR session to see the results. MAybe also the cab is a bit heavier ??

Cabs heavier jim.
I can inly break traction in first, never in any other gear and I'm running a 3.46 open hero diff.
No lsd malarky.

It will.
You'll top out about 150 on the clocks.

Anyone who tells you different is only supporting an M20.
So they can piss off.
