Update on the oil..

I've found the Castrol 10w60 to be a little too thick.

WOT over 3500rpm now see's 8kg/cm2 on the stock guage. :cheers:

Idle is 3, cruise ~2000rpm is 5. Cold start max's out the guage.

Prior to the castrol i ran motul 8100 5w40.

Idle - Needle over 2, cruise ~2000rpm - 4, WOT over 4000rpm 7 (only just).

It appears to make oil pressure much much more quickly now.. 3500rpm vs 4000rpm to see its peak oil pressure.

I think this is too high personally.

4Door_sleeper, whats yours run at?

lately ive watched quite a number of movies. Movies that ive seen which i can remember of the top of my head include..........

initial d the movie - pretty average

sin city - awesome just awesome. worth the money/watching

the island - quite good

land of the living dead - quite dissapointing actually, although i wasnt expecting much

house of wax - very good

what about others, what have you guys/girls seen lately and what did u think of it?

damn that is a v.nice paint job!

Hey Sam, would you be able to paint my wheel centres in your shed? They are stripping off the chrom lip and the centres, and they should be ready to mask and paint when I get them back. Do you think it would be an easy job? Also, are heatproof paints easy to come by? Otherwise I might just get the entire wheel mirror polished. Pic attached. Also 2 pics attached of what mine would look like polished.

im sure you can do it yourself andrew. go on. there was someone on this forum who did it themselves with a spray can - i bet that put you off straight away didnt it, to his spokes much like what you do to your calipers. But if you want the silky factory coloured look, use a spray gun which i guess sam would be the one to do it. im sure he's still in Adelaide atm.

I actually do have a compressor and spray gun etc .... but have never used them. Maybe I will give it a go myself. I wonder how hard it would be to do shadow chrome - that is what I would really like for the spokes.

    • I mean I agree. I've seemingly never had issues and I have RS4's in the rain, but I drive pretty slow in the rain, and I commute around on the street and pretty much never push it. But it's not like you're going to uncontrollably slide off the street with them in the rain. At least here in Aus. And I say this before I drive to Tassie in Winter. AS above, the term "Semi" is a bit of a misnomer. The ContiSportContact7 is also a "Semi" or a "UHP" tyre. It's the same category as an AD09 in any case.
    • These are not semis. None of the tyres in that comparo are semis. They are UHP tyres. Perfectly streetable. I'm on my second set of AD09, after using a couple of sets of AD08R. On the street. Every day. I get 15-20 thousand km out of them, which is perfectly acceptable. They are a really nice tyre to drive on. I have few, if any, complaints.
    • You'd hope, if it came from ACS, that it wouldn't be that.
    • Or the brand new throwout may be unhappy...
    • Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
