Don't even bother trying to tell him, it's obvious the only way he'll learn is the hard way.

Sounds like I'll be getting some ultrex vipers 18s for track then

Why would you buy cheap, shit, heavy rims for the track where you want the best, but pay decent money for good rims to run on the street where it wouldn't matter as much?

There is so many things wrong with your logic about all things cars

Its only a failsafe logic, i.e. Will only be using cheap rims for track if it turns out that rub is an issue when tracked

It will be an issue just driving to the shops I would imagine, don't worry about the track.

If you manage to pull / roll the guards and dial in enough neg camber then the tire contact patch would be useless for track work.

RJ9999999999's stupidity angers me. After all of the times he pmed me asking about my experiences with doing such things and trying it on an even smaller car he still goes ahead with it. Sorry, but even if it does work out, it's going to look like fucking shit regardless.

Oh shit, this was meant to be the thread where I say about things that make me happy. My new motorcycle arrives in Australia in 18 days, yeah, that will do it. That makes me happy.
