The fastest car ever around Mt Cotton on R specs used RE55S WT (soft) compound. But he doesn't compete anymore. DZ03 softs seem to be almost mandatory amongst the current crop of really fast guys. Haven't seen anyone using the A050 or Hankook semis at hillclimbs yet, but they'd have to be right up there with the Dunlop.

Interesting, I'm going to be in need of something suitable for sprints and hill climbs not too far down the track, Z221 softs and AO50's arnt the easiest to get hold of not to mention at a good price. What sort of coin did they set you back matey? And where from

Edited by Mr. Untouchable

I got them through the NSW club - NTW has a great deal going for members

They did help me out on price, I would expect retail on the softs to be around 300 in 235/4517 and hards 350-400.

Roy what were you quoted for a full set, about 1600?

I have just gone for the most common sizes for those running 17s and 18s. May change it to 235/17s and 265/18s in the lowest profile possible. Have made so many phone calls and emails to various suppliers I cant keep track of who does what in what profiles and sizes and compounds anymore. I

I bought a set of kumho v70a's and used them for the first time last sunday. on a cold and slippery wakefield with a bit of a shower, I still did a PB

as the track dried out I ended up going 7 tenths quicker.

so my report is...

v70a > r888

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
