Traction? Bah, its all about going sideways! Although I have since put 195s on the back!

its funny, when i hear 195's i think they are small, but then on a gemini they are probably pretty substantial!

Yeah, they're ok. 205s are about as large as you can go without making more room. but the price doubled for that extra 10mm of rubber! 195s totally dont cut it on the turbo though, that thing is sideways under boost in 1st, 2nd, 3rd no matter what. Must put some pics of that up here in the non-delco category.

Yeah the TG stockies are are 1" wider, too, even though they otherwise look the same. I didnt realise this for a long time until my mate with a TG gave me some burnout stockies and we put them side by side.

And, now with a bit of front end work it handles, infact it stays dead flat around corners. And with a heavy duty +40% clutch it has that nice satifying 'thock' when dumping it between 1->2->3rd 8-)

Im not entirely sure that those double ds holding the second bar on are in the optimal place or how well they'll stay where they are, but i'll find out with a bit of fanging around :twisted:
