i have RE001's on the front of my car with SK's full kit. Havnt really pushed her yet, but from what im feeling, a nice tire, plenty of wear, plenty of grip. Definately putting them on the rear aswell not the cheapest tire tho!

thats a good price, in perth a person was quoted $300/tyre for 225/40R17.

which i was more than disappointed about seeing as i can get RE01-R in 235/40/17 for $330

Yum, RE-01. Do they sell those in Australia officially?

The local Bridgestone Motorsport dealer in perth sells them.

Anyways i ended up going with the RE001 as i got a set for a good price. And i can say they unbelievably good, i was thinking they would be similar grip level to the G3 (which where my last two sets of tyres) but they are miles ahead in terms of grip.

I was running them on the front for a drift practices and the whole night (2-3hrs) the front end never lost grip and held the cars line.

I am very impressed by the RE001, and can't wait to take them for a grip lap and see what sort of times i can put down :P

Getting a set of these for my car on monday.. Believe it or not it will be cheaper to buy the 235/45 over a 225/45. they are more widely used and are cheaper.. My cousin is NSW area manager at bridgstone and is getting me the tyres cheap, so thats how i know!

RE-01® and RE-001 are different tyres no?

I've used RE-01, pretty damn grippy. Next best thing to a semi I think. They came with a set of rims from Japan.

Also, driven a WRX on RE001, also a awesome tyre but a lil exxy. Very quick response with changes in direction and well planted.

$280 for 215/45/17

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
