Hope you've found the Pistonheads website OK, I had some problems accessing it last night.

I saw that you had the Nitto drag radials fitted last night at the Guildford cruise. Any problems with handling or wet grip driving with them on ordinary roads ?

Yup, found the website OK, but had some technical problems posting replies. All sorted now though.

Cocking a sneaky peeky at my rubber eh?

Well, I'm extremely pleased with the Nitto drag radials, the difference in dry traction is phenomenal compared to my old Goodyear GS-C's. Down side is my ZR-1 feels underpowered now 'cos it won't spin the wheels at all now... Mind you in the wet the whole car will probably spin instead. I'll let you know once I've tried them in the wet.

I'm off up the Pod for the RWYB this Sunday to see if the Nittos will get me into the 12's, I'm fed up being a teenie...

Good luck at the Pod, my guess is you'll be around the 12.5 mark if the weather stays dry. I'll be either in Brighton for the Ace Cafe Reunion if its sunny, or in Hendon if its wet !

Thanks! I'll let you know how I got on. Thanks for the heads up on this forum by the way, judging by the previous posts I'm sure it will be a lot of fun and I look forward to meeting a few more members.

Most of us on this forum meet up at the Surrey Corvettes meet at the Fairmille near Esher. If you haven't been before (though I am sure you must have) come meet us there on the 4th Tuesday night each month.

No, I haven't been to the Fairmile before, I had heard about the meeting but didn't know the time or location, but now I do I'm looking forward to making the next meeting and helping put on a good show for our visitor.
