Saw LadyBytes R32 in civic today. Creative parking btw.

Your federals are going to wear out if you keep using them for normal street driving though :D

Not so creative... I had Steady Eddy with me... he's good for getting the good car parks LOL actually, I have secure parking at work and felt nervous with it out there.

Federals are good for street... soft but not too soft... I think they're good for around 13000ish k's

In an R32 GTR you can expect about the 12 - 13,000km from 595RS, which isnt to bad considering how soft they are, but the problem is that your slowly degrading the tread compound by driving them cold, they are designed to be driven hot, so the more you drive them on the street the less heat cycles your getting into them and in turn you might find that they go a little bit hard after a couple of thousand km's...

That said, if you wear them out you will need to buy more, so go for it, I'll be here when you need another set :D

Funny that, went past at 2:20ish and they were gone when they were actually needed with a ford broken down at the intersection causing all sorts of chaos with idiots cutting lanes to save a precious minute..

Also saw a wrx pinned by an undercover VZ just down the road too.

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
