Federal ss595? They grip pretty well really...or second had ones from treads

The get RE55s for the stockers

hmm yess, but i spose ill have traction issues with any tyre really :ermm:

the originaly plan was to run 18's on federal rs595 and sell the stds, that way meaning i can go to a fairly large brake setup, may need a 2nd set down the track...2nd set of te37's perhaps? :yes:

Just get drifteks as the track rim... cheap as light enough and the largest range of tyres are for 17s

How do bendix ultimate pads go anyway?

Bearing in mind I like to hit the mountain a fair bit... Bendix prob wont stand up for too long.

not as good as the setup i said, from the reports i've heard

and r u sure u need new pads already? have u actually checked the thickness of the pad? or are u just saying that caus they r now squeaking?

how do lucas pads go?

dont know/heard of anyone running those pads

i could indeed, they're a sexy looking rim for sho

whats a set worth?

$1000 for 17 x 9.5 available in many colours!

there squeaking rather nastily and its shitting me :ermm:

Most performance pads will do that

do u warm them up properly b4 u go for a hard drive? i.e mountain 'cruise'

could possibly be premature wear caused by bad operation

fark me thats cheap!!!! im sold on that one lol

i dont think he's heard a cold set of ferodo ds2500 and rb74 before :ermm:

its a 10 min drive before I get to the mountain shane, if there not warm by then they never will be.

The front pads are the same pads that came with the car, theve been on there for god only knows how long.

10 mins of street driving, prolly wouldnt that much ehat into them, but if theyre not 'decent' pads it wouldnt take much to heat them up

i forgot u only replaced ur rears when u did ur rotors, may bad :ermm:

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
