good evening. first shot at moving on two stripped out coupes worth of parts i've amassed. looking to get the bulky parts gone first and run through to the fiddly bits as time goes on. inviting sensible offers on the two rear windscreens that were a pain in the arse to cut out and have three good rear (two lefts) quarters to sell. if i can get home from work before dark one of these days i'll get a few pics up of the first lot of bits. no engine/transmission/brake assembly parts, all bars are gone, and one was drivers door stoved with the other a drivers front damaged. most interior parts available and some electrics/trim/suspension arms. lsd diff and its cradle are also still here. cars were gunmetal painted some scary lime green colour and the other is silver.

located in mackay queensland which might hinder things to south dwellers, but if you are prepared to cover or arrange the freight, all can be gotten to anywhere.

bit scared this will be pruned as there are no prices, but i've really no idea what any of this gear goes for so will peruse others r33 ads to see whether i'm being unreasonable or copping a pineapple. pm's would be preferable and will be checked regularly. not chasing the earth or in any rush but would like to help out others as i've no need for these bits and someone may as well get some use out of them.

thankyou kindly for your time, glen.

good evening. the engine harness is delegated to my rb25 ute project and the other is pre sold by the old owner. thanks for your query though matey.

the struts i have are standard and are sold sorry bloke. all the rear control arms and the left fronts are fine and available as is a front rack and a single rear axle driveshaft (was left hand side. not sure they differ left to right but best they keep their drive orientation).

got stuck for 11 hours today on the highway after a fatal accident or i'd have responded earlier. not going anywhere else for a while so should have pics sorted out soon.

thanks for your patience. glen.

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
