BMW was a loaner from BMW on a ambassador program.

tomic was on P's and got an exception to drive it as it was "work"

got busted doing burnouts BMW took it off him and cops gave him ticket for being a hoon.

few months later he got off p's and bought said Ferrari.

shortly there after went to court re the hoon activity.

lost license.

lols were had.

beers were drunk.

It's also a two way street...you can't expect people to respect you regardless of your position of power if you act like a jack ass. People who say "my game my rules" end up playing alone.

Which is why bosses who don't respect their employees end up with poor employee satisfaction and a high staff turn over. Do it enough and their bosses start asking questions too.

Lot of this Tomic hate stems from jealousy cause young kid with lots of money having a bitch about something...meh...I say good on him, at least he's standing up for himself instead of just prostituting his dignity away for the sake of earning $$$.

Or possibly it stems from when he was given an exemption to drive the M3 on his p's, solely as he was a celebrity and it was "the only form of transport available for him to get to tennis" and he then used it to cruise the strip every day and act like a flog attracting as much attention as possible. Then when the police showed up to pull him up for the 3rd time he refused to stop and instead drove off home and called the lawyers... but not before hiding behind his gate calling the police names, then getting on tv and accusing the police of racially profiling him...

It could also have been that...

Soooo jealous

Looked under my car when it was on a hoist

bad idea

such a bad idea

also, are AD08's still hugely pricey? like $350+ per tyre pricey?

Why not buy Ventus V3? Seem to be $250 a tyre and from all accounts grip better

After my NT05's lasted 7000kms I am now sad.

I think you just had a conversation with yourself

Entirely possible, but was under the impression ventus were waaay more pricey, like, on-par with the AD048R

Given the echo chamber that is VWL, sometimes self-conversations have the same content

why? getting expensive ideas or things not right?

if the same workshops/people work on your car regularly, soon theyll start taking the blame for everything that goes wrong ;)

Nah. Was at scottys. Found out I had 3 bald tyres (1 is brand new and just replaced, woot...), snapped/bent steering/suspension components.....again.. and my exhaust idea had to be massively revisited for another time.

I have a couple of spare new AD08Rs from the import monster AD08R bonanza but love them too much to let them go for as cheap as they did

Solid tyre even at 2012 issue or whatever they were

From what the internets says, the Hankooks go for $250ish and outperform them, the AD08R's go for something like 350 unless you find a deal.

Almost bought the guy who was selling 2x for 500 awhile back (ad08r's)

Just knew my rears were worn, but on the indicators after 7500kms on NT05's was.. yeah. I suspect the Hankooks last about half as long as the AD08R's. Hence the query about them before HWP says HEY MATE BALD TYRES OFF TO DEFECT LAND and which they would be correct to do so.

That's The only prob with NT05's

The indicators coke up reeeeally fast. The trick is to not give a f**k and drive the shit out of them anyway. I used to rock mine well past the indicators

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
