Cara, from memory it was about $600, but 34 may be different.

I actually got a better price from SA Suspension Centre (ween Rd Pooraka) but got Car Torque to match the price as I liked their service better. See how you go ;)

cheers for that, il give Emtech a buzz when they get back from hollies on the 7th, see what Phu can do for me lol.

i called car toys and asked how much some shocks would be and i got given a price for Koni 690 for front pair and 580 for rear pair :down: FTL at that price

and i have purple led's to go with a some what purple bottle of mine :D:)

yeah, thats pretty much why im buying it, lol.

it comfy as, electric everything, seats that are more like armchairs then anything,

and its got a decent bit of poke too, goes alright for such a heavy bastard.

no my purge is blue.............might have to change the led in it

they are they 12" leds for the boot and some 9" ones for inside the car :)

well, i live on a fair busy road (wont say what one) but lets just say that i pulled out into traffic rather enthusiastically to make a gap, booted up the road, then into my driveway... then as i slowly drove up the driveway there is the red n blue disco parked across the entrance to my driveway.

LOL i got out the car n said 'guess where i live?'

i copped a fine for "failing to maintain control of a vehicle" should b about $140 apparently

the police were really nice. could have impounded my car if they wanted with our lovely new hoon laws... but they were cool

I think it is true cruzin, because if your car is road registered, then the assumption is it goes on the road and must comply with road rules.

Therefore I see no reason you couldnt be defected in the driveway, unless it had no plates :banana:

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
