DO1Js are circuit tyres.

They *SUCK* bigtime at drags, trust me... I have first hand experience.

It's like trying to use Nitto NT555Rs (with their non-existant sidewall strength) to cut quick laps on the circuit. It just doesn't work.

Yeh Merli, i recall you had traction probs, but they would have to be better then the crappy Falkens i use on the road.

Ill use mine as they help reduce the amount of axle tramp, i already have fears about doing big shifts with little temp in gearbox and diff

so what tyre is all round tyre....if someone has 4 balder tyres than me i give you $5.. :-) all for (work well ran a 12.89) with em.

Less than 5% tread...might sell them on forum as a slick..but there soo dangerous on road at moment...need new ones..What should i get?

For an all round tyre you could use Yokohama A032s. A mates car runs 11.7 on them and they are very good on the circiut. The IPRA cars run them as a control type tyre, but 17,s are the biggest you can get.

For all out Drag use, forget Nitto,s, just get some 15 inch wheels and run M&Hs or Macreary,s. They are a much cheaper alternative.

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
