Haha, right? They totally turn left....at the end of the drag strip.

"JL Audio box with 2 10″ Speakers" - Nuff said.

"19×8.5 and 19×12 DPE CS5v1 wheels in Matte Black
225/35/19 and 265/35/19 Nankang NS-II Tires" -If you want to tell me that rocking 265's on 12" wheels is "good" stretch? C'mon.

"K&N Cold Air Intake" - This is a shop car?

This is a show car man. Nothing more, nothing less. It's not meant to actually go fast. It's meant to look cool.

Because you cant have a 2nd set of track wheels with trackable tires right?

A set for show and a set for go. UNHEARD OF!!!

I was mistaken its not a shop car but it was built by TeamElite

OK, but we are talking about the wheels and tires on the car RIGHT NOW.

Those are absolute junk, and that was my point. You were defending that these tires are actually great tires and the stretch is totally optimal. We never talked about running multiple sets of wheels/tires.

Regardless, I want to meet this owner, and I'm going to ask him what his best times were at Summit Point in THIS CAR, and I'll wager to guess he'll chuckle and say, "No, this is just for show man".

But, if you decide to rock some stretched tires like he's running, and then think you're going to hit the track like that, tell me how that goes at the tech inspection

Did I ever specify that I was talking 100% about those EXACT tires?

Pretty sure I didn't. I also already said the tires were ****. I still say Stretch is good. The specs listed certainly are on the other side of "good stretch".

And no I wouldn't track on that stretch or those tires but thanks for the sweet tip bro.

Also like I said. The car belongs to a very well known shop. Pretty sure they have a bit more experience than any of on here...

lol... all I have to say is... Drilled/slotted rotors are all around as well. its like the blind leading the blind with that one.

In other news: I have sent up emergency flares to every single car-related group I belong to on facebook and twitter looking for Nismo RC front brake ducts. Bulletproof told me "lol no" because there were so few RC cars made. Car Love DC has taken up the cause for me so I have hope yet. Further bulletins as events warrant.

MyKindaGuise · 03-17-2013, 10:42 PM

It took me 2 minutes to find 2 very good threads...Some of the info isn't 100% correct but it mostly is.

Slightly stretched tires = stiffer sidewalls? - Scion FR-S Forum | Subaru BRZ Forum | Toyota 86 GT 86 Forum | AS1 Forum - FT86CLUB

Do stretched tires compromise grip/handling? - R3VLimited Forums

There is a reason Formula D cars run stretched rears. They want the most grip possible in the rear and the front to be loose. Im sure a few of you will think im bullshiting that last bit but...I cant find it now but there is a whole video on youtube from Drive talking about a 350z drifter with 700whp running 0 camber and stretched tires on the rear.

I don't even know what to say right now.

You posted up a thread on some forum I'd never even heard of, posted by a fully stanced out VW. Right.

Also, a Scion FR-S forum by someone who was clueless, and the person who responded replied back with saying that the tire that'd fit a 7.5" wheel optimally COULD fit an 8" wheel. I can BUY that, because that's such a mild stretch, you could confuse it for OEM. But we arent talking a tire that's designed to fit a 9.5-10" wheel, stretched over a 12" wheel.

I'm trying to save you headache here, because if you truly intend to HPDE on stretched tires, it's not going to go well for you.

Ive already said that those tires were crap. All Im doing is defending stretch in general.

dmhenderson · 03-17-2013, 10:55 PM

Cody/Steve anyone else reading this, if you have any idea where I can chase down those RC ducts please let me know. Usually things like this happen because someone knows a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who does a thing etc so any help would be appreciated.

I thought I had this locked down a week ago and the two solid leads I had evaporated :/

I really wanted to get those things installed prior to P&S

MyKindaGuise · 03-17-2013, 11:07 PM

I think I see our confusion. I said that "that GT3 is doing it right"

I didn't mean race spec stretch....I just meant that it was stretching right for style. my bad :/
