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.

What do you call telling people to vote no to financail aid?

An... Oxi - Moron

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.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
