Hi man

I also believe you should save your self and car and go to hobart.

HAHAHA is that right..

I have an R33 - Microtech LT12s and I am in Hobart... looking at around 400RWKW and my car is going to Brad Sheriff @ Boost Automotive.

Keep it on topic and keep the personal crap off the forums guys, there is no reason to run down someone's name/business name and if it continues then warnings will be given!!!!

If you feel you have to express yourself then please keep it to PM.

Mitch at the end of the day its your car cobber and you are the one that has to be happy with the final result and the process along the way. Ring around a few places and have a chat (if they have time) about your car's set up and the advice that they can offer and go from there. Don't just rule out coming to Hobart because its too far, a tuner here "maybe" able to get better results with your car than others around the state and vice versa.

Also posting up the specs of the car would help people offer "opinions" on who to seek for tuning as well and if there tuner is able to look after the ECU of choice

Good luck with it :)

Ben

Brad does a good job. You just need to tell him all the stuff that's been done to your car, and what you want/don't want done with it and you won't have any problems.

Hi man

and how that's not slander i'll never know.

I agree that it doesnt really need a tune with those mods, however like ben said its your car.... If you are from Burnie, How about going to

white hot motorsport?? i think that they should still be about. they are at 8 Mathews way Devonport. If you want a number to them i got it somewhere just give me a PM.

They would be closer for you

Cheers --Ben

    • 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.
