Tread pattern is the same.

It's a different compound. Increased grip at temperature.

They might have had a play around with the sidewall as well, not sure.

But they are still selling both AD08 and AD08R. The R is only available in certain sizes at the moment.

$420 / tyre!!! No way.

OTR if you want AD08's or RTR if you want RS3. Both are under $400 / tyre.

iirc the AD08 is around $385 and the RS3 around $370.

You should, might, kinda be able to get AD08R's in 265 from OTR as well.

Hokie dokie! I'll keep that in mind

Tirerack would be good if the dollar was better

listed at $263USD a tyre on tirerack. But once you add shipping, GST, duties and convert back to AUD it gets exy

Oh, I see.

Edit: what's the tread wear rating on these two?

Well there is a story there....

AD08's are 180.

RS3's are 140 & 200. However there is no difference between the two. They simply had the tyres re-certified at a higher utqg for a racing series they were competing in. The 285/35 R18 RS3's I've used were 200 utqg.

Noticed any difference in wear between these two?

I know you run both in different size so that'd be in-direct comparison but I'm curious and I'm sure others will be too.

How many trackdays did you do with a set of ad08s before moving on with rs3's?

I only ran RS3 as I couldn't get AD08 in 285 or 295. I've done 15 track days on AD08's previously. Those tyres have gone on to be used another 5-6 times.

Ombudsment has taken on my case on the basis that my termination fee is more than my remaining balance.

Telco will be in touch to discuss

told ya... tell them you want to keep the handset and terminate the contract. Moving for work was unavoidable and you purchased the product in good faith assuming that there would be coverage in all major areas etc.

if you sound like you wont accept anything less, however don't come across as arrogant they will likely just give it to you as a commercial decision

f**ked it up. Rookie mistake.

Agreed to pay out the outstanding months ($290) vs the original termination fee of $440

Should have argued to get it less as there is no difference in keeping or cancelling the contract.

Ah well, next case ill be aware.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
