Banded steelies might look good,but they are too heavy and slow to spin up and slow to reduce their speed when you want to calm the drift...ie-will make it harder for you to learn mate...stick to light as possible alloys happy

Thats fair enough. Ill stick to the alloys then.

I got a set of 4 steelies off a volvo today though just for now. The centre bore is a few mm bigger then standard though. Does anyone reckon itll be a problem?

When i start getting nice wheels i fancy some of those lightweight ROTA's smile

Providing they pull tight and straight when you put your wheelnuts on they will be ok to Skid on!...make sure you have conical wheel nuts tho...

Yay i got spotted. Where did you see me?

Yeah, after the skid day ill start saving for brakes and wheels and do them at the same time. Probably going to collect a load of deep dish 15's for skidding due to cheaper rubber, and a nice set of 17's for road use.

Car served me well today. I was definately the weak link lol.

No real problems only a bit of smoke when the turbo spooled up if id been sitting around on tickover longer then 10 minutes. Used no oil or anything. I did get a misfire coming onto the m6 though when i nailed it but it still pulled strong. Ill keep an eye on it.

Next up, in no particular order...

Seat time.
17" road wheels.
Seat time.
15" skid wheels.
Seat time.
Brakes.
Seat time.
New gear lever and steering wheel.
Seat time.
And more seat time too.
