arent 888s as noisy as shit??? I went in a car that had them at a track day and the buzzed, screw that for a car i drive daily

You'd be an idiot to use them daily

Arent 888s proper semis? If so I would expect them to be real noisy.

Yes

Josh i admire your dedication to grip because i would go mental....because at wakefield there is nowhere you are going anywhere near 200 and it was annoyingly loud through a helmet!

Smash 200 easy at lakeside... even the pintara can do it

@colin: YES! DO IT

the speed 2 is the update version of the speed which is a update of the sprint v. i cant find the speed's in australia.

ive sat in a sprint v and its very close to the bride zeta. and for half the price you cant go wrong, and the material feels stronger.

if you want i could en-quire about them for you?

Would be much more interested in the R100s. I just like the speeds better for the updated color pattern. need black with red.

wish i could just go to the casino to pay for cool shit

+ 1

...but i don't gamble...

Going back on tyres for a bit.

Bridgestone RE001's are a great tyre, not the best wearing thing in the world but still a great tyre. It all depends on where the RE001 is made, some are made in japan and pretty much since the start of the year anything out of jpn has gone through the roof in way of tyres it will cost a shit load, if its aussie made re001 it will be cheap.

The Re050 and Re050a are shit and dont waste your money.

Ku31's and 595's are about equal, both great tyre for the cash.

Ku36's tread wear is a 180, so roughly the same as the Re001, pirelli pzero corsa and other good street rubber.

Another good tyre is the Michelin Pilots Sport or PP2 about a 200 tread wear, good in the wet and dry, and also very quite on the highway, not a V tread pattern so it is good. I ran these for about 20,000km with a couple of track days in there too, drove them until they had no tread pattern at all and they still gripped ok.

As for proper semi slicks? 12 months ago i got 225/50 R16 Bridgestone RE55's for $240 each fitted brand new, same place same tyre today is $440. 16's aren't the cheapest tyre to buy anymore, found i can get some 17's and 18's cheaper in the 55's. I ran with them on the street for a while too.

What i am hearing is that the Dunlop Direzza is a nice tyre. Also the R888's i am yet to try either of these. I have also driven on Advan A048's and they were pretty good. Wouldnt mind seeing what the Kumho V70a's are like, about the same price as the dunlop and bridgestone

If you got lots of money to spend, Pirelli Pzero and Michelin Cup is the place to lay your gold. Driven on both, nice tyre, don't last long at all. 30 lap race on the Pirelli and they were blistered and dead. The car drove from the valley to QR, raced and drove back to the valley.

Apart from that, i had a shit night at indoor soccer, we lost

we played some private boys school fag team, seriously must have been gay, they kept hold onto us.

I got a penalty against me for shoulder charging, the guy deserved it though, sent him 5 metres across the field. Ref laughed at it

Whos a drag racing expert? I'm a corners man, but heading out tonight for some T&T funsies.

What pressure should i crack in the rear tyres?

And what RPM should I set up for my launch control? I think I'm gonna start with about 4000 and see how it goes

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
