"I drive alone, with no nobody else"
Drive like a wank, no drivey with us. Period.
This is what I keep preaching about folks, we have the FNF'rs they don't give a rats ass about car control or safety as long as they look cool. Sorry but the majority of us aren't in this group to babysit and hope everyone makes it alive.
Time for me to start a new rant thread.
Bash all we want? Geez man if you can't recognize when people are trying to help you then enjoy meeting a pole up close.

I agree with BB1, this car is very twitchy and can get you in a whole lot of trouble if you don't know what you are doing. Especially in the cold (even 15 degrees at nite) ...
I've had the pleasure (
) of kicking the back end out a bit one cold evening simply because i gave a bit too much throttle... mind you I wasn't going fast -- 40 km/h (which would've really been disastrous if it were any faster)
Then again, I guess I'm trying to discipline myself and not push the car hard simply I know I'm the only one that has to fork out the $$$ for any damages.

For the S02, anything under 10c is taking your chances.
There have been a few people on this forum spin out at speeds when they shouldn't have been on the road with this rubber.

I see. But after you drive it for 5min the S02s should warm up and there is no danger then, no?
What if I get all-weather (or winter) tires and drive from Sept to early June on them? Any suggestions for tires (16in or 17 -for looks- inch rims)?
I guess I will lose in grip but for road use it wont be that important.
I can use the S02s when I am going to the track only.
What do you think?
