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

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
