Out of curiosity

Does anyone know if there are any track day events held on Sunday 25th August this month?

looks like V8race have sandown for the day:

http://www.v8race.com/PAGE/Sandown-v8race-Experience-Dates/

motobikes at broadford

V8 supercars are at winton

cannot find anything at PI

Calder seems closed to club events of late.

Yoko Ad08 best

value for money

Federal 595 RSR's

Hankook Rs-3

kuhmo KU36 (tho these seem to go off quickest)

At less than 200 a tyre the RSRs seem an interesting option

Yeah about 1/2 price for RSR's

In a 265/35/18

RSR's ~ $230

AD08R's ~ $460

I really want the AD08R's but nearly $2k on tyres :/

I've used both and they are a very different tyre. Time-wise, there is not much in it (no more than 1 second), but it's the consistency and number of 'fast' laps you can do in a session that's the big difference. Also their performance (lap time) in hot weather is massively different.

The edge of the RSR's gets hammered (soft sidewalls) very easy and they tend to wear out much faster because of that.

$230 is massively cheap though! Plus $50-60 to fit the tyres to the wheels and $100 in shipping? So $270 ea ish. Cheap.

I would use the Achilles 123 over the Shitty RSR's, they are on the back of the 31 at the moment ( track spec version).

Grip is good just don't think they will take the heat cycles or lower pressures like the AD08's

 

RSR's ~ $230

AD08R's ~ $460

  :/

These fitted prices? would like to know where you're going for me in 235/45/17s there is v little in price just under $300 and just over $300 fitted so no brainer for me.

RSR prices I just got off ebay so yeah unfitted.

Any chance we can confirm a swap to that WRX day at winton in November instead of the Tampered one on cup day?

Yes I can confirm that.

was a hard call, I land on the Friday so not sure if I can get my car sorted..but heres hoping!

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
