    Put the best tyres you have on both ends of the car Nate.......... grip is the key

    Id have to use the 19s but the downside is the fronts arent that great grip wise. I just bought an apartment so i have no chance of new front tyres for a few months haha

    ah well they should be ok. better to give it a go then nothing at all!

    It takes a few meets to get dialed into the track , so run what you got , run as fast as you feel comfortable. Then you make changes and improvements to shave a second here and there , then on to hundreds of a seconds . That's what Jo Jo did in his AE86 and now he is a real flyer , with some uber quick times.

    I'm steering toward doing a WP track day this month instead....... more bang for buck after such a long time away, might actually get a feel for the car with stints of longer than 50 seconds at a time

    For those of us with short attention spans 50 secs is good.

    Car still not back together , still waiting for parts , lucky I decided to do a few mods and bit in TLC . When I was pulling LH strut out , noticed the ball joint had bit of movement ,figured it had a bit of play in the ball joint , so took off the cir-clip so I could press in out . OPPS !!! it fell onto the ground ---- lower control arm is a wee bit flogged . Suppose that's what happens when you fit Corona parts to AE86 . Hope I can get all the parts I need in time , can not remember the last time I missed two climbs in a row.
