Wow! Ohmmu Racing wheels are installed, huge weight savings! Total over 30lbs of unsprung weight reduction, and that’s with 1” wider rear wheels, wider rear tires (same R888R) and wider fronts and tires... plus I think it looks really good too!
Nice! So, you are running 17x8.5 rears with 235/40-17, right? Your overall diameter on the rears are a bit smaller than stock. OEM is 24.9" and your diameter is nominally 24.4". You'll probably see slightly better acceleration due to this (as well as decreasing the unsprung weight), but a bit of decreased range due to the increase in rpm. I'm running 245/40 on 8" rims w/o any rubbing issues. What size rims and tires are you running in the front? Do you know the weights of the bare rims front and rear? Thanks, Henry
This is awesome to see the progress. If you're considering painting or wrapping the car white, and you're focusing on track performance, why not replicate the paint scheme on the Roadster than ran in Pike's Peak in 2014: Images From Pikes Peak: Drive eO Tesla Roadster
Stellar work on the prep work. Did you get Nitron to revalve the shocks or just stick with S2 with fast road springs, I was close to getting organized with new shocks but the shock ‘expert’ said they would build them to my specification and accept no liability! That would make me the expert and while I’m educated enough to question they wouldn’t/ couldn’t give me any answers.
They are the S2, but I scored a set of the Bilstein adjustables for the Roadster so now it has those installed, the Nitrons are extra and I’ll sell them soon.
Nice did you get them from Phillip off of ebay? Post some videos of the projects - Free video upload - Streamable
