Sorry for the dumb question but, Im not sure what you mean by "square set up" I assume this means all wheels are the same size, same offset and same tire size?

 

Nice and clean

 

Thank you guys, comments are much appreciated

BionicG, that's exactly what it means. A.k.a. non-staggered

 

i really dig the look...didn't think 18s could look that good. Love the drop too, i think it's perfect...what is it? i wouldn't lower it more either!

 

sick pics!

 

Car looks Sick Bro!! Keep up the great work.

 

Mike those wheels look small. Why 18s??

 

Thanks guys

Mainly for track

p.s. Are you Russian? My wife mentioned it a while back.

 

ohh for the track??? ahhh nice I see! cool cool. Well I got some wheels for my G as well. Got me some 19" Volks.

ohh yeah and yes Im Russian how did she know?

 

Well, that's the plan anyway. Gotta run the tread down a bit before i can use it there. Might put the A34's back on for one i'm planning to go to in a couple of weeks -- i'd just hate to risk bending that set again.

Your wife is Russian??? Really? haha wow! that's cool Mike, I didn't know that.

BTW how might you bend that set? The tire tread on those 19s you had are thick enough for it withstand some holes, and plus those are a solid one piece and no big lips all around.

 

Yep! Been married for nearly a decade now... sadly i still don't know much Russian

I bent one wheel once after i partially lost control of the car after going through the esses. The front was still sliding and hit the edge of the curb marker -- the one part where it wasn't a gradual transition from dirt to concrete, going roughly 45-50mph. The car jumped in the air, tire took the brunt of the impact (had 245/40 FK452's then), but left me with a slightly bent lip. Got that straightened out a couple weeks later, but fixing forged rims costs a pretty penny

 

ohhh I see now, I guess it's that kind of track there that it might of happen.
I gotta say our G sedans are pretty sensitive, if it gets pushed over the limit it will start sliding out of control unexpectedly. That rear end is hard to feel when it will kick off ... i gotta say i still need more practice with my G, I haven't figured it out yet. lol
Also is yours 6speed?

Also BTW I haven't said it yet, but love those pics! Love your photography skills bro!

 

I love the look of the RP03's nice choice Mike!

... oh and as always amazing photo skills from you.

 

Thanks for the kudos

Here's the best part, i had VDC on! I believe it was all four wheels that slid at first. It was the front passenger that actually struck the curb marker. I've got the 5AT, btw, for the most part i'm on 3-4, only hitting 5th at the straights.

But i agree, it is a little tail-happy. Having driven FWD for so long, the G can be a handful at times

Thank you thank you
