Nice purchase zquez. I'm considering the 4150's myself. Please keep us updated on your thoughts and opinions once you get them installed.

 

[zquez]

I'll start a new thread once I have them installed and have some opinions on them so as to not derail this thread anymore.

My coils are supposed to be here today but the watts link is on back order from Whiteline for about a month.

I'm getting rid of my KW CS's and picking up some Koni Sports and I think Eibach Sportlines. Don't know what to think of the springs yet, but pretty stoked about the yellows. I imagine I will wind up having to put my rear swaybar back on.

I went to the Isle back in 2007.

R888's?

Oh yeah!

In the left corner, Nitto NT05 295/35-18. Actual measurement 295mm (what was on the car)

In the right corner, Toyo R888 305/35-18. Actual measurement………314.5mm!

We are trying to fit these R888's on the front!

Those are spendy fucking tires.

Racing. We went over and did practice week, qualifying and that was it. The motor let go in qualifying so we replaced it and got 2 laps out of it before it went pop. The guy that built the engines had built a couple for the Isle before so we thought he would be OK but he didnt CC the heads and they had to much compression and pow they went. Oh well I got a finishers medal and some other stuff and got to say at least I did that!

Anyone that runs Isle of Man is a badass in my book!

That's pretty hard core. The Isle is not messing around. What was you best average lap speed?

You just got higher rate springs from Alex because your were sinking your car on the stops. That was with tires a whole lot less grippy then R888's. I was guessing you would need more rate now that your car has stickier rubber. Made sense to me.

The last day of qualifying I hit 100.089 brfore the motor dropped. My whole goal was to not crash n die and if I could do that then break 100 my first time their. I was happy! I wanted to do better but it just wasent in the cards. I'm still keeping in shape to go back if I can but we will see. I'm just getting bored with bikes so I want to try my hand in the cars stuff. I'm going to try my bike lines first time at Hallett and see how that works. I just want to be careful since I'm used to 200hp and 380lbs not 350hp and 3400! That's why I'm putting BIG brakes and sticky tyres!
