[Flat Eric]

Round 1 gremlins return to the Sti. Had a major malfunction on the dyno last night so the engine is out and off with a specialist getting sorted. Full report on my site. Will try keep posting on progress of the week.

We run the new Hankook Ventus RS3. Similar thread pattern to the RS2 but compound is UNREAL. Mega Grip. 265/35/18 on the rear and 225/45/17 up front.

Jesus never even heard of the rs3's........ Are they out over here........ I run rs2's on the front find the savage and they work instantly........ No need to warm them up for 4 laps like the kumhos and that...........


This might sound stupid cause yous are pros and yas know exactly what yas are doing............. I know the wall of these tyres is unbeliveably strong but why do yous use a 45 wall on the front.........! Is it not better with a lower profile tyre.......!

[Flat Eric]

Its a 17 inch rim on the front so the profile is larger to keep the over all wheel/tire size as close as possible.

Profile strength isn't an issue with the RS3 anyway, absolutely amazing tyre that won't be released in Europe anytime soon unfortunately. The grip level is ridiculous and it throws heaps of smoke !

[Jay Rockett]

Hope ya get it sorted asap dude,tell the team theres a site full of anxious fans here hoping for a great year for yourself! They DONT want to dissapoint the Irish now do they?!!

[Flat Eric]

Ha nope !. They've been warned about angry Irish men already.

All going well I'll be in the car thursday.Its running exactly the same suspension and alignment but with an extra 100hp and a big weight loss.

Can't fookin wait to give it some stick
