Yokohama Advan A005 WTCC Volk Rota Wheels

I came across a good deal on a set of Yokohama Advan A005 WTCC Slicks 240/610-17.I got them from PB Motorsport in Athens.

I will run a square setup, the tires are like 245/35-17 in normal size so I will have no problem with rubbing in the rear..a slight roll in the front might be necessary.

I already had two Volk TE37 17x7.5 et40 that I will use in the front.Since Volk doesn't make a 17x9 in 4x100 bolt pattern I went with white Rota Grid et45 to match the front wheels.

The front wheel/tire combo came out at 15.1 kg, pretty impressive.

The rear combo weighed 17.1 kg which is fine,considering it is a 9 inch wheel.

In the last pictures you can see the difference of the same tire mounted on a 7.5 inch wheel and a 9 inch wheel.

Rotrex C30-94 New Impeller

The replacement impeller for my C30-94 came in the mail today from
www.superchargerrebuild.com

Reason for this replacement is a former mechanics big mistake to use a wide washer for the return hose (recirculation) of the bov.
Due to vibration, the washer came loose and hit the impeller a few times damaging it.It was still in good working order but I went ahead and ordered a new one for added safety.

Rotrex doesn't supply any parts , so superchargerrebuilds was the only way to go.

I will replace it tomorrow and report here.

 Update: In the last pictures you can see the new impeller installed.Big thanks to Bill from PB Motorsport for helping with this.

Pretty straight-forward to swap the parts, you might need a heat gun for the input shaft for the old impeller to come off.

Be careful not to brake the input shaft or it's bye bye Rotrex. In the final picture you can see the damaged impeller.
