Yer, autotesting might not be that fast at times, but gives me such a buzz. I do it for the same reasons, still 16 at the mo, so autotesting is the only way for me to get the petrolhead fix, and quite cheap too.
Which rally tyres do you use on the fronts??? Colway, Max Sport?
Colway mud and snow's on the front for grass and sometimes gravel.
I had Max Sports at the start of last year and found they were pretty rubbish compared to my Colways.
Another wee tip (you probably know already) but get narrow 13/14'' wheels on the back and get tyre pressure up about 60/65psi.. makes it easier to handbrake, slide etc etc..
i have an autotest this weekend, i will try get some pics and videos..
good stuff mate. 60/65 psi?? bit much aint it lol
I'v been thinking about puttin the standard skinnies on the back for handbrake turns. Got some GTEs on the car at the mo so will change the rears for my next autotest in April. Cant wait to see how the old Nova performs. Might get some Colways for the fronts for some decent grip.
yes 65 psi is a bit hard but helps on tar, so the back end comes out easily..makes it easier to slide/handbrake etc..
let us know how the nova performs..get some pics and videos i you can mate!
p.s, keep the gte wheels on the front..more traction as they are 14'' and keep the pressure to around 30/35 psi depending on conditions..
here is a few pics i got of the car last weekend..got coilovers on now and 2.0 brakes (what a difference)..ready for the track day on Saturday..my first ever time on a track..could be funlol

like what your doing. its encouraging to see a young lad with a healthy interest! unlike most that i come across.
craig
How come the registrations changed?
simply because the plates are cooler..ha ha
its never driven on roads and always trailered to events so it saved me buying new plates..
I'm going to fashion some sort of in car camera mount (probably stick a tripod where the back seats were) and get some autotesting vids done.
Plus it'll show some mates what autotesting really is, because people never understand and mix it up with autograss racing!
yeah..am going to get my dad to hold up the camera on saturday out on the track..lol
if you want to see some more vids of autotesting with our car club type in soscc autotest in youtube.:thumb:
