Jamming 3rd mid skid especially when the syncros are a bit shifty is hard thing to get the hang of. Might enquire with SARace what it would cost them to change the syncros on 1 - 4 maybe, otherwise deal with it haha. It is a z32 gearbox, might be worth doing. I'd like 1 - 3 straight cut gears :banana:

I was chattin to the bloke who built your car (I'm guessin you bought Tuffy's sileighty yeah?) and he reckons 2nd to 3rd with a Z32 box is a massive jump, like it drops way too many revs and leaves 3rd fked.

Not sure if it'll help in your car as much as mine but I found snapping 3rd mid slide is easiest done just after a transition. Like flick it a bit harder than you think you should then use the momentum of the car to give you a bit more time to slot 3rd properly.

keen as fk for skids on the 24th :D

Bah!!

I've had 2 HTC phones, Touch Dual & HD....both slow and would occasionally hang

Love the iPhone

Theres the problem with the HTCs you've had - they're both Windows. Windows have always been a horrible OS on mobile phones...

Was talking to the dude from allphones who i've got both mine and Bianca's phones through for a while now and he said the N900 isnt a bad phone bit it doesn't do mms it can only send email photo's....

You're probably right Vu cause I've had Sony Ericssons (Symbian OS) and they were fast as

Yeah man I bought Tuffy's old Sileighty

Now that you mention it I did notice when I hit 3rd it'd slightly bog down and then once get passed that stage jump straight to 6,000rpm lol

I'll give that a go with what you said, any advice at this stage is good advice. I'll take anything and everything on board.

I should be out on the 24th, Need to organize a tow, tires and I'll probably just leave the smashed exhaust for now lol, might just take it off at the cat useless ugly fpos - but I'm f**ken keen as! Day skids ftw. Do you know if its the same price? $100 + cams license?

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I mean I agree. I've seemingly never had issues and I have RS4's in the rain, but I drive pretty slow in the rain, and I commute around on the street and pretty much never push it. But it's not like you're going to uncontrollably slide off the street with them in the rain. At least here in Aus. And I say this before I drive to Tassie in Winter. AS above, the term "Semi" is a bit of a misnomer. The ContiSportContact7 is also a "Semi" or a "UHP" tyre. It's the same category as an AD09 in any case.

      These are not semis. None of the tyres in that comparo are semis. They are UHP tyres. Perfectly streetable. I'm on my second set of AD09, after using a couple of sets of AD08R. On the street. Every day. I get 15-20 thousand km out of them, which is perfectly acceptable. They are a really nice tyre to drive on. I have few, if any, complaints.

      You'd hope, if it came from ACS, that it wouldn't be that.

      Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
