Marc, do you know Rolandas' wheel package? I know they're Kosei K1 TS, just not sure of the size. I think 17x9 with A6s?

I did know it at one time but those brain cells are long gone. I do remember that its a tall 17" tire, not an A6 (might be V700).

I think he runs 275's or something like that... They looked stretched on his wheels.

The problem with that is you can't drive on the street with your pretty-boy wheels then. I almost went that route but in the end couldn't justify spending the $ on wheels I would use twice a month 6months out of the year. Unless I had money like kittens, then I would just buy whatever the hell I wanted as it doesn't really matter.

I listened to Marc after our conversation at the end of last season, and sticking to street tires for 1 or 2 more seasons.

I guess its all relative. I couldn't justify getting beat on my street tires all the time by people on R-comps. So for that reason its money well spent. I know you're a competetive person, as am I, and finishing behind someone you know you're as good of a driver as because they have superior equipment isn't fun.And yes, it would be nice to have a super lawyer father like kittens to fund your mods. Chu, the only reason I said that to you last year was cause you were doing a mod a week to your car (atleast it seemed that way) trying to go faster, when all you really needed to do was not change anything and work on modding the driver.It goes something like this: driver = 50%tires = 30%suspension = 10%car = 10%until you're running almost the same times for the whole day there is still room for improvement on the driver. Upgrading the other stuff is a waste of money IMO and will only increase the learning curve.

I didn't really do anything serious during the season...but I also didn't take it serious. Was really trying to learn the car and trying to have some fun. This year is different though. The setup will not change once the season start. ok, unless I get some wheels/tires! As of now though...power and suspension will not change
