That's a good point, when road is just wet its true it's more so when it' soaked with a few mm of sitting water even shitty tyres with channels to get rid of the water makes me feel a little better instead of a flat bald tyre aquaplaning

1 dif is that i only ever ran 235's aswell

Used to do it to uni everyday

Skipping all the traffic made me so happy

Wearing boots all day not so

Yeah well I'd probably have to leave my work shoes at work.. annoyingly ride with shirt and slacks underneath gear

Always get WTF looks when de-panting at my desk

Makes you wonder how often shit like this is happening all around Melbourne

I'm guessing a lot

More than you would like to think.

Thank christ we ( not me, NAB ) sold all our Greek assets when this all started!

Whoever we sold them to probably doesn't think they are so clever now lol.

The whole Greek attitude to this situation is laughable.

Apparently it's the banks fault not theirs, not the government, The bloated pensions, tax optional welfare state had nothing to do with it.

Why? (srs question)

Longevity?

The NT05's are just touching the indicators in the center now, on the sides there's maaarginally more, but barely enough to catch a fingernail on.

Where else to go for alignment duties? TT always been nice to me, but heard a few things now...

Longevity is definitely a big player here, AD08s you can supposedly get 30,000km out of a set which is fantastic for what type of tyre they are.

But in my opinion I think the AD08s are better tyres due to the sidewall. They're much stiffer than the RS3s so they're a bit more predictable when it comes to breaking traction. Where as to drive RS3s fast you have to be on their limit which is a lot more "wallowy" than the AD08s, if that's the right word. To boot they seem to have more grip as well.

interesting.

this is a good thing for me as a bit more side wall flex is a good thing.

running max camber a bit more give gives more grip.

same as softening off my front sway bar gained me 1.5 seconds at winton.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
