Steve,

On the street my RE540S's (once warm) are bloody awesome. Put it this way, after fitting them the new grip levels helped my clutch die very quickly. Previously my 255 Falkens had taken the brunt through w/spin. New grip levels & minimal w/spin meant it was the clutches turn to cop it!

On the strip I've yet to make the most of them. Clutch slip & failure to heat them (no burnout) are the reasons.

Well had 3 runs 2nite. Not very happy, but oh well. First run 14.8 105mph. 2nd run 14.1 108mph and the 3rd 14.8 103mph. I think the main problem was the tyres on the back. I had re540s but it kept bogging down of the line. I was taking off with 5-6000 revs but still bogging down. By the time I got going it was down to about2500. My r/t were all aroud .4 to .5 Those tyres have sooo much grip

i ran a 14.8 when my car was stock, went back to the track last night with fmic, pod, 3" all the way and boost at 14psi. Had big boost problems, it kept bleeding back to 10psi, i'm thinking the waste gate actuator or the BOV are leaking. Still ran a 14.491 though which makes me confident i can break into the 13's with this setup.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..   
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
