by **EF ECTIV** » September 19th, 2012, 12:27 am

haha no experience here but I noticed them in a feature in street commo's with Gup's 727 cubed HSV E2 GTS... I doubt 2/5 of ****
all people even know about them let alone run them...

by **iCER** » September 19th, 2012, 9:15 am

i didnt know about them till mentioned here.

305 wide but only 35 sidewall....cant be all that good now can they?

Find me a tyre place who will sponser me a few sets for testing. Im sure if i get results, everyone would jump on them

by **OMY-747** » September 19th, 2012, 1:03 pm

9's on 20's? :drinks2:

Man, I just want you to run a 9 already lol. Everytime I see an update in this post I'm hoping for the time slip 9.xx down the quarter.

Still agree with basically everyone else about the wheel's though, your on your own with your current selection.

by **DJV8T5** » September 19th, 2012, 6:28 pm

The wheels on the front don't actually look that bad, would look better with a full set of rims, even if they are the 20s. Looked clean at Sandown, dirty engine bay was a bit of a let down though for the display.

When you next taking this to the strip iCER?

by **OMY-747** » September 19th, 2012, 9:56 pm

Yeah, I'm referring to the mismatched wheels. I'd rather see butt ugly wheels that are the same all round then stockies on the back and mags on the front. Makes you look like a tight arse IMO no matter what the tires are.

by **iCER** » September 19th, 2012, 11:01 pm

i am a tight ass

Engine bay is the cleanest it has ever been lol! Just smashed it with degreaser in the morning all around and washed it out. haha Car is more go before show. Always will be. Else id bag it, flare it and roll on 22s

Seems calder and heathcote dont want me to run.

Calder yet again has been cancelled on Friday. I keep trying to go but always rains. Yet APPARENTLY it has been the driest August for like 20 years. Getting harder to go next few months as i got my wedding coming up in Nov!

Will be out Thursday night at hallam kebabs possibly to stalk some other forum. Then Friday night to see some SA members come out (hopefully) on the hwy.

by **Parfrey** » September 20th, 2012, 12:32 am

Is it going to be your wedding car with stockies on the back?

I'd try and find the rims for the back or even the same ones in 19s if you really love them? Not sure if you realise that a 305/35-20 would be huge!! you need a tiny side wall to have roughly the same rolling diameter. I'm sure if you set your car up better and put wider rears on you could get traction with 18/19 inch wheels...

Sucks the amount of times Calder has been cancelled lately!! (not that i wanted to go anyway) Gotta love the weather!

by **Commando** » September 20th, 2012, 6:40 am

Do you know how those numbers on tyres work?

No, it's not bhp/your age/your gf's age.

by **SnipeZ** » September 20th, 2012, 7:27 am

I'd love the gf age to be my wheel size lol

Cheers

by **iCER** » September 20th, 2012, 10:10 am

gf age is almost accurate. She just turned 23

She bought an FPV shirt from sandown 500.....was mad!

I doubt 305 would fit on the rear without some modification. The 275 is close enough on scraping. If car was any lower, it would scrape the sidewall.

Brother has 20's 305 on the back of his BA. It'll fit

by **67rce** » September 20th, 2012, 6:05 pm

It's all about offset calculations. Hell, I reckon I can stuff a 315 under my NC with nothing more than rolled guards......

by **bng** » September 20th, 2012, 6:29 pm

I'm the brother. They fit. Just know you'll have massive camber and it'll chew thru the rubber
But it does look awesome

by **iCER** » September 20th, 2012, 7:36 pm

welcome brother. Ye thats what i dont want. You get 5000km as it is with the ET streets! lol

says tight ass but runs ET Streets all day errday. wtf.

Calder will be back, the weather is improving.
If I were you I would start planning your excuses for ... not running ( washing my hair ).... all over the place ( car too powerfull track can't hold it ) .... car ran 10.6 not 9.9 ( forgot to charge flux capacitor )..... got beat by a 16 second mazda 3 ( had to get boost on the line ) plus many others I haven't thought of yet.
This may help:

Calder is in the process of allowing cars like yours ( Note I said cars like yours, not people like you !! ;-)

to run sub 10 sec passes with no cage ) so you can't run that excuse either.

Apart from that have fun :drinks2:

see you at the track.

by **bng** » September 21st, 2012, 9:02 am

That's the wear I've got. It's now on both wheels. It does look fucking awesome from behind but I'll go 275/285 when I get new tyres (couple of weeks)

And :lol:

at that gauge. The first one you can bypass icer haha

of course, offsets the bees knees. You were going to smack 12" under your NC

by **iCER** » September 21st, 2012, 6:12 pm

LOL @ clutch slipping...thats the excuse i will have ready.

Actually, ill put it on my neon sign so its ready to go.

Dion informed me a month or so ago that Calder will adapt the new rules shortly....so hopefully sooner rather than later.

Id be happy to get over 140MPH then i can nail the launches.

Will you offer me lifetime free dyno's if i run the 9 CVE at any dyno event you house??

I don't know if he will take that offer man.

Because seriously, how will he strap the monster down?

That would be great if they can adopt those rules for late model vehicles, as you can see that there is a fair amount of late model cars dipping into the 10 zone these days.

by **iCER** » September 24th, 2012, 12:07 am

would be good if the public knew when they would actually do it. Announce a date already! Would be happy to pay the $130 then!

Has a camera on the front and back. Just waiting to hear how good they are at night time.

More found here: http://www.footprintsecurity.com/CDR-E07_car_cam_With_GPS.php

As you can see, you can clearly see the sides and even the read of the car:

So you can see all around the car. Safety first

Epic bump on a off topic subject.
Had simmalar things fitted to all out work vehicles(security/ dumb shit we see on the road use of course)
Considering getting one For my car. Auto record, night vision etc etc.

by **SnipeZ** » December 8th, 2012, 11:14 am

You in the 9s yet?

Cheers

by **OMY-747** » December 8th, 2012, 3:05 pm

Not much left of 2012 to run that 9 now.

by **[Sterling]** » December 8th, 2012, 3:38 pm

When are you gonna run EJ on the highway? He's run a 10.5.

by **iCER** » December 8th, 2012, 10:19 pm

im in Fiji on honeymoon till next week.

Car is at Dion's just getting some 'touch ups' before Calder on the 14th

See how quickly i get kicked out.

EJ doesnt want to run me why would he waste his time? Ive gone a new motor, boost, exhaust etc since my 10.5.

We lined up few days after or so at the lights a few times but he didnt want a go sowe all just cruised for rest of night.

Im chasing 9s. 10s are old news!

by **[Sterling]** » December 9th, 2012, 12:42 am

Lol I HIGHLY doubt that.

by **iCER** » December 9th, 2012, 2:23 pm : **XR_Lightning Likes this post**

doubt what?

by **Mr_4.0** » December 16th, 2012, 3:33 pm

Soooo is the rumour true? Dion is driving this at heathcote today and has been running mid 11s?

by **Michael (HYPOEB)** » December 16th, 2012, 3:50 pm

Ill never understand anyone that lets someone else race there car. Anyway...Something must be playing up?

by **bentls** » December 16th, 2012, 4:01 pm

or they are lifting before they try for a good run and go "first full run ran a 9.9 arent we top ****"

by **Mr. CVE** » December 16th, 2012, 4:56 pm

Mr_4.0 wrote:Soooo is the rumour true? Dion is driving this at heathcote today and has been running mid 11s?

Nothing against Dion, as he is smart enough to know to be mega careful at Heathcote with a car like that. he would probably be trying to sort the boost control.
That is why Haleys Comet doesn't go to Heathcote.

This is for Icer when he reports on the days activities !!

by **bentls** » December 16th, 2012, 5:38 pm

clutch was def slipping i heard it from my work in bayswater all the way from heathcote

by **misk** » December 16th, 2012, 5:43 pm

i can understand why someone would want to have another person race their car to get the best times possible as a benchmark.
clearly icer isn't the worlds best automobile pilot, which is fair enough, so in order for him to have the best times to boast about (:P) he gets someone else to drive occasionally haha.

by **Mr_4.0** » December 16th, 2012, 6:08 pm : **NUT347 Likes this post**

But he does claim his times are "as driven on the street". So unless dion is his Chauffeur, it's not "as driven on the street".

by **misk** » December 16th, 2012, 8:02 pm

Lol maybe he will have 2 times listed in his sig
Prob be able 8 seconds apart

Id rather have a shitty time than shitty pants from worrying about someone else tryna steer the car!

by **FORCD6** » December 16th, 2012, 9:39 pm

Sounds like a bit of head scratching sorting out the ams
