bit of a sore point for many people i reckon, we are not a communist nation.... why filter the info that we recieve?

Because the Australian Government always believe they know better and the Australian people are too lazy to get angry and fight for their rights. Sad but true...Australia : The Nanny State.. I just hope senator conjob gets his plan defeated.... I know enough about the internet to get around any filter but the same can't be said for others. Information is power and that scares the hell out of the Govt, thats why they masquerade the 'secret' list under the pretense of blocking child porn - not least so that any one who questions it is implied to be 'soft' on child porn - a disingenuous argument if there ever was one...

for shits and giggles we flipped the manifold over, for "high mount"

lol

fook. i didnt even think of that. i was too busy perving on her to think about taking photos of her...

... well, i was thinking of taking photos of her, but well, you know, they wouldnt be forum friendly.

Steve, she was a Barbie doll, didn't think much of the face but then again, with the rest of the package, who needs it :P

In all seriousness there was some nice talent out and about today, both cars and girls :)

just you. youve played around with the formatting me thinks. steve knows how to fix it i reckon.

and youre right heslo, there was some serious f**kin talent out... joisus. worth going just for that.

... he exists, and he races in a ford ute, dont f**k with him, he'll mess your shit up.

seriously, he was sitting behind a holden ute coming into the hairpin, and the holden threw a leg out of bed, devine intervention man...

see if you can view this thread, some of the boys are organising a weekend somewhere it seems :)

yeah looks good Matty but don't know how comfy the Patrol boys would be having a 200 around..........lol, it won't matter whether I can keep up with them or run rings around them, the fact that it's a 200 will get me flamage.

EDIT: Not to mention that I'm still running the factory Dunlop Grandtreks (crapiest tyre ever designed for a 4WD). Need to put some M/T ATZ's on there but I'd be looking at almost 1/2 grand a corner :P

lol, you and i appear to have the same problem, pete. :P

    • I drive the Tiguan much harder than the Skyline in all conditions, because it just grips and hooks, unlike the R33 shit box
    • 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.
