Have been off the forum and had no time for the car for a while.

Am keen to hit the track again soon but my R888's are dead.

I am looking for some new semi slicks, so who’s got the hot deals at the moment?

Last time I got them at Taleb tyres for a bargain but they have no parallel imports at the moment.

If I can't get another bargain I will probably go for Falken Azenis 615 as the price seems reasonable at about $250 for 225/50/16.

Any suggestions?

Hey buddy, if you're interested i have 1 pair of Yokohama A038 semis left in stock in a 225/45/16, I've heard these are harder than the R888's however I've had no experience with these tyres so i cant say for sure.

Let me know asap if you're interested. :D

Raul, forget the R888s.

Everyone knows the Ultimate Nankang Challenge is now what all the cool kids are doing. :thumbsup:

lol.

What, all 5 of us?

If you were after 235/45-17's then amec or gordon leven tyres seem to be line ball in the low 300's for new RE55's.

    • If there's enough meat in the housing where you want to put the M12 adapter, then do it, but be aware that if/when you f**k that up you'll probably be repairing it before doing anything else. I'd just drill it out and tap ina 1/4" thread. No need for rocket surgery when the next most obvious thing will do. You could throw a 1/4 x 1/8 bush in there and use the same fitting you intended to use.
    • Is the only issue that the oil catch can is getting filled on hard runs? I'd be thinking more about oil control issues rather then the head lifting, especially as you aren't seeing spiking in the coolant pressure.  Do you need restrictors in the head, or better drains from the head? Does the sump need venting to the catch can?
    • Tried to make 1/8npt threads into compressor house of the turbo for my EBC. Threads got fu#ked and ended up with and elongated hole, so I do have good amount and nice threads 90% of the hole but 10% I only had 1-2threads there and rest of it is flush on that side of the hole.. So my idea is to do M12 x 1.25 to AN4 with braided lines instead of 1/8npt to 4mm vacuum silicone hose.  and hopefully get a better thread. M12 is quite big and AN4 is a little bit bigger than 4mm (4.9mm inner diameter braided PTFE hose). but this should work. Thoughts? Otherwise I will weld and adapter onto the turbo.   
    • Looks great, I hope everything is working well after all that time!
