They are top flite clubs Steve.....top flite has been owned by calaway for a while now so they are calaway made lol

Nice 1. What shafts are in them?

oh and Dave, prob a good thing I wasn't with you you last night bud.

+1

Matty31 and anyone else that cares - Repco have 20% off nearly everything in store today.

Ok looking at getting a power fc and a new turbo (mines starting to make bearing noise) in the next month or 2. Just wondering if its better to fit both at once or one at a time. I know it means two lots of tunning, but figure i can save myself some cash on the turbo install and do it my self.

James get it done both at the same time.....its cheaper that way i reackon mate

steve that info i dont know.....but it certainly improved my game on the first go at it mate.....so happy with it

I was looking this morning at a Autometer boost gauge at Repco, thing is it doesn't have the mounting cup and they don't stock the cup..... Any mounting ideas other than having to cut a 2 1/16" hole in the dash somewhere (which isn't going to happen!)?

Got a black mounting cup here Steve if you want, $20 it yours

Cheers will keep it in mind, but after having a look around I'm kind of liking the GTR single DIN setup. That way I get rid of the ugly DIN pocket that doesn't quite fit correctly.

Only problem is Defi ($$$$) are the only aftermarket 3 gauge single DIN setups I've come across so far!!!!! Will keep looking....

Fit the Power FC yourself. It's very easy. You wont need a tune as the PFC has a base map already. Unless you have made changes to turbo or injectors. Then save for yuor turbo, injectors and THEN get it tuned.

The FC is second had, had a plug in test on thursday. Not sure of mods it was tuned for though, but at least it started! Was so tempting to say "leave it in there". Slightly high idle on start up, then rough idle, possibly tuned for bigger injectors. Think that my be the way i'll go Ryan :)

Is there a way you can reset then to the base tune?

Anyone watching channel 10 at the moment, they're showing the Isle of Man TT.

That S*#T is crazy, No regard for ones life.

omg i got dizzy watching that front camera view going through those little villages, hills and jumps at 160mph. Couldn't believe it.

yes do an initialization in the settings menu. No hassles what so ever.

    • 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.
