I'm sure they were more than adequate for a pansi in a capri :)

Yes, they are great on 4 cyclinder light weight cars - that's why I recommended them. But pansy... them's fightin' words negro :(

RE001s are probably a great tyre, but would be much more expensive yeah?

KU36s will probably wear pretty fast, since they are pretending to be a semi slick

I heard the KU36 last around 20000km so thats out of the question. RE001s are freaking exp. Got a friend that just got them for around 290 per tyre fitted + they use some fancy gas to make it lighter (nitrogen maybe?). RE050As are close to 400 each fitted.

Tas: I believe KU36 can be compared to Evos if not RSR. Very good reviews from users on the forum.

All these prices are for 215/45/17s.

Two track days on a GTR is my bet

I guy at the last track day had them on his track spec WRX. Could'nt stop cursing about what a rubbish tyre they were and how they should never have been sold to him as a semi slick. My humble pintara was quicker than him :)

He said they'd be going off for the next track day, so there you go, 1 track day on a WRX :(

1.3 tonne on 215s :S Dayum. my SS have got close to 20k kms on them now and no sign of wear. I think I'm losing my mind though because everytime I look at the car I swear there is more neg camber on the front. Paranoia because I did all the camber arms myself keep thinking I've f**ked something up lol.

Fair call, they're probably more than adequate for the VW too.

But you're still a pansy :(

Damn i'd be happy with 20k out of ANY tire. I'd expect more like 10 out of KU36s

Tas: I believe KU36 can be compared to Evos if not RSR. Very good reviews from users on the forum.

I think the Evos compare to the KU31 actually and the RSR compares to KU36.

Both RSR and KU36 are soft road tyres being called semi slicks by dodgy marketing departments

FYI: $550 fitted ea for 4x Toyo R888's 18/225

how much for 18/265 :)

My pintara ways sh*tloads more than that and it was rocking 215s for ages

True shit. 215s just seem like such a tiny tyre lol. I spose its no worse than the 2.5 tonne falcodores with their 235/245 ling longs on em.

Where from? what about 215/45 and 235/40 in 17?

Place out on the bay. I reckon if we all went there to buy the toyo's we wanted, they'd do us a deal dispite being different size's

Not very light if you asked me. The spec sheet says close to 1.3tonne... only 200kg light than mine.

they must be heavier now - last i saw they were 1130, which is 100 more than the capri.

but still - i usually think in terms of a falcon being 1.7 tonnes... i consider that to be a heavy car (without getting into utes and crap) so 400k less is a pretty big difference... but either way

it sells tyres bitch lol. But yeah I wouldn't put rsrs or ku36s on a beetle. overkill.

I think you must be stupid to do that. I cant justify the wearing on such a car. I want something that'll last for 40000km!

The stock tyres are 195/55/16 if you're interested in knowing. Its around 1250kg to make it even more accurate.

The threads on mine still look good after around 5000km. Hopefully it'll last me another 20000km... hahaha.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By feartherb26 · Posted

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
