You must run more camber than me, I don't get wear like that on the edges my tread wear looks a fair bit different, I also get the rubber balling up on the tread block edge. I also run about 32 hot on the RS-R. I'm only running -2.5 front and -1.5 rear. I might have to dial in some more when I finish the turbo swap an can carry some greater entry speeds.

That is wear from the outside of the tyre. They have been rotated. They don't wear on the inside that much.

-3 on the front.

The rears wore on the inside a little more than the outside, but they are -1.8 on stock bushes and arms.

You're just going a crap load faster than me then, that's a lot of roll. I thought the tyre wall strength wasn't bad. Good luck at Winton :D Be interesting to see what I think of these tyres with a bit more power on board.

Some of mine from Collie Motorplex last weekend.

Yeh, it was better as a friend attacked it with some box section etc. But still moves around. So the answer is a packet of cash and these

Where did you get the weld in chrome moly mounts from Roy?

    • Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?
    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
