Well the Geoquealers in the Foz dont like the wet one bit!

With lowered suspension and strut braces......it just likes to loose the rear a little more than what it should not being the right foot at hand either .!!

Should be better with 18's and new tyres. If I ever go back out to work

My car is piss poor in the wet, never slides or spins the wheels. I would have to fully launch on a wet hill to get them spinning. Safe though, havent noticed any understeer either.

My old silvia on the other hand felt like driving one of those driver training cars that has the trolley wheels jacked up so you spin if one of your passengers sneeze.

These yoki S Drives I have on now a really good in the wet. Before I had some missmatched crappy tyres and felt scared in the wet but now I feel safe as houses in the wet.

Hmm lets see...

2-way Cusco rear LSD - Check!
420Nm torque - Check!
Nice big sweeping corner - Check!
Rain and nice slippy roads - Check!
Me over applying the throttle and sliding around that corner as many times as I can - Triple Check!

God I love this weather
