Rears have already had a roll, will see if anything much more comes out of them. Bumper tab needs grinding down a bit. Fronts haven't had anything so they need something at least (even if it makes the line a bit wavy lol). No more low.adzski wrote:looks really good man.
Prob just need to pump the rear guards and lower abit more.

Re: BJK's FTO #2: The GPX-R
Yeah I'm pretty pleased. I'm not sure if it's a placebo or not either, but I swear it's a little quicker off the mark with the reduced unsprung weight.spetz wrote:Looks good

Re: BJK's FTO #2: The GPX-R
If it's 3kg per wheel then I'd say it's not a placebo.
Is the rolling diameter the same as before on the tyres?

Yeah, same tyre size, 235/45. That was with the old semi slicks, but I'd say the 003s would be in the same ball park.

Nice BJ. Just becarefull 235/45 17 throws the speedo out you’ve gotta drive 5kmh under.
I’ll be going 40 profile next time as I think it makes the car too high as well as the speedo being out.

Re: BJK's FTO #2: The GPX-R
Yeah, I'll be doing the same next time around. With the Evo arms moving the wheels forward I'm scrubbing on the front bumper tab pretty bad. Might have to suck it up and buy some offset castor bushes to bring them back a bit because the RE003s are still pretty fresh.
Speedo is less out than I would have expected though. Must be because they read under from factory, on the freeway I've compared to the GPS and it's almost exactly bang on the right speed, maybe a touch over.
