It sounds like you guys are making some progress, i'll sit on the side and read
with interest - nothing better than to drive a car to figure a problem (:- I
didn't think G skids were supposed to be that good but i've never had them on a
510 only driven a Fairlane Sportsman (tank) with them (huge size ~235/60x15)
which is prolly not a good test but it had konis all round and i found them
noisy although reasonably predictable in the dry. Toyos/510 are hard all round
combination to beat on the track, but maybe it's time for us to have a change
