Re: How much wear does a trackday put on tyres?
I ended up losing aprox 2-3mm of tread which wernt too bad considering I spent the afternoon going sideways and completely spinning off a few times but I also destroyed my clutch and maybe gearbox although im yet to investigate it

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] using old tyres for drag strip???
On another note jimGTS how do you find the 40 profile compared to the 35?
Why did you change to the 40 profile as 245/35 is a nye on stock rolling radius?
I have 245/35/17 and am due a tyre change.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Steering Rack Play?
Are you talking about the ball joints on inner rack arms?
or the ball joints on the track rod ends?
or the ball joints themselves?
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
anyways all are fairly easy to replace and no you wont need to change the whole rack.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
