Actually! She was really cool about it...to my surprise! Well, I'm alive and I learned my lesson. Hey, anyone around here selling wheels for about $1,500? I want a nice set of 17's with some big rubber on the back...I'm thinking about a set of gram light's (57C's) in white to match the white paint...

mother nature likes screwing with us turbo guys since cold air=more power&less traction on the pavement

I spun mine around a few times. Luckily never hit anything. Gotta find out how much the car can handle right? Get some softer rubber, slow down a bit and you'll be fine.

George right?



Anyway, take your car out ot a big empty lot and try using it as a skid pad.

Drive around in a circle gradually increasing speed until it cuts loose.

Then you can get an idea of where the traction will break loose.

If you are using Kuhmos you can get it sidways pretty easily, even in July,.
