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

need to play more cards.

$300 for rest of S13 stuff $600 turbo kit $83 minispool. Skids!

but still need to pay my fine n shit so a few more casino nights are needed.

you can? its not hard to learn to play and you don't have to be that good to beat the casino game. Just gotta be careful.

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...

I'm never willing to lose big so i never win big :happy:

I've come out ahead more times than i've come out behind though :blink:

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

CoLin no ring....me feel sad :'(

Thursday night maybe ey Col!!!!?? Don't have to work on Friday do you :)

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

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
