    Crazy stuff Jason!!! Seriously well done, I know you've been chasing this for years now. And on 16" streeters too! Anyone in the market for a set of 17" Enkies

    Ooh, now there's a challenge - anyone in mind who'll front up? The APR car, I'm guessing but does that have fewer mods?

    Tyre diameter/profile shouldn't have any effect in a drag except for weight (taller profile/smaller wheel is probably lighter) as long as the widths are the same. The impressive thing is that the Proxes 4's that Jason used have a UTQG wear rating of 300!!

    vwthunder, if you can be bothered changing your brakes back to stock for a drag run, you can borrow my 15" Team Dynamics with the Advan semi slicks for the fronts and get 2 space savers for the rears.

    Eddy has run his down the quarter before and while I know he could beat me he has always had problems on previous runs.

    the thing it defintley does help with is when running 25psi it gives me alot more contact patch

    Haha thanks greg, at the moment focused on Winton and the dyno day

    I would be worried that i would break something on the Quarter if I ran semi's. A little polo is not a drag car, still got the stock clutch too

    That's what I'm worried about. Ive got 215/40's stretched over 8" so very low profile.
