Wow, there's a lot of people in here who haven't run 9.359 yet

Why are you all crying about tyres instead of congratulating him?

I don't see any claim the run was on federals or any federal sponsorship on the car. If the bloke needed to move to other tyres how is that different to a change any other racer makes to go faster?

Anyway.... well done Theo :(

Are your eyes painted on? You're getting old, Duncan. And lots of people including myself have congratulated him. Back to Oran Park Sth with you! Gowooon Git!

I wasnt hasseling him about what tyres he was using!!! It was a genuine question! Cause if fedaral made a tyre that could get those kind of results I would be interested in taking a look at getting some for every day tyres!! (I had been told they are grippless so I was hoping that his could be confirmed of denied)

It has become blatantly obvious that unfortunately Federal do not at this time make a tyre to run 9.35 on. This DOES NOT mean they aren't a well-priced compromise tyre for a genuine street driven car that can also run fast times at the strip. This shouldn't be something for Federal to be ashamed of, they DO go well at the strip (to a limit), but maybe have an issue with 1000hp and 1500kg?

I have heard however that they are working on a more dedicated strip tyre? Anyone confirm this?

That is the answer I was looking for thanks mate :(

Theo has ran high to mid 9's on Federals, ive run 1.6 60' times with them....so has Stacey....i think they are a good all round comprimise for a street car that regularly sees the strip. The drift boys seem to love them too.

ps. this is only my opinion and possibly is total bullsh1t

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
