Looking forward to it in 18 hours. Even though i need to drive from Caringbah to Smithfield in peak hour but, I am still going to love it.

Haha so was it worth it?? I think it was!!!!

Tha ks alot for everyone who put in time for tonight and hope to see many more to come.

Probly looking at buying Tyres with some spare cha ge. Better not go to to many tech nights or I'll turn my car I to a rocket without still learning how to drive it!!

Ah well hopefully these Tyres will aid that :)

A hge thanks to Mick and the team at NTW for putting on an excellent night (not to mention beer and food).

It was a great turn out as well, the place was pretty much full with over 35 people along to check out what was happening.

I though it was a good mix of information on how tyrs work, how to maintain them, and how to bag out commodore drivers. The highlight for me was learning from Mick that "when the steel belts are sparking, it's probably time to change tyre". That and that Neil adn Charles both remember whitewall, bias-ply tyres.

The next night is on 19 October at Wholesale suspension in Penrith, I'm sure a thread will be up soon

Sean's car was nearly taken out by an errant taxi on the way home.

I only remember how flammable tyres could be. :domokun:

NTW had heaps of staff on just for us! > Chuffed !

So again, many thanks to Mick and all of the guys really!

What do you mean remember - my 1951 Peugeot 203 still has these fitted to it on a set of 16 x 4 factory rims.

This was an informative night with a number of questions answered both during the presentation and the subsequent discussions.

Yeah, the taxi driver thinking that 2 lanes turning at the lights, means that both are his....grrr!!

Was a great night otherwise, great turn out and presentation. Would of been there earlier but was fixing Dave's new clutch!

Thanks Duncan and thankyou to everyone who attended!

I can speak for all of the NTW team when I say that you guys were a great crowd and we would be happy to have everyone attend another night similar to this one (especially those who couldn't make it this time) sometime in the not too distant future.

I hope that everyone who came now has a little more knowledge on tyres and how to get the best out of them!

Cheers, :cheers:

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
