Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

In other news... Swapped some 2871's into a mates zed over the weekend. What a PITA.

Goes pretty decent tho, considering 14psi and a stock engine with low comp on at least 1 cyl :D

I found them quite good also :s

For the price

They're decent in the dry, but absolute rubbish in the wet. As quite a few at the sprint day last year will attest to :P.

If you think they're 'quite good' in the wet, you need to try some other tyres ;)

Ohhhhhhh I didn't realise they were designed to be a wet track tyre! :P

Kuhmos FTW!

For real though 595s are never going to be excellent in the wet, they have no radial grooves, The EVO or the RPM are needed for that. Trouble with either of those is the crappy size selection though, Luckily I can fit a 285 if I really must.

I wasn't using them at the track... but others were and found them to be quite useless.

I have used them on the road before though and they were terrible in the wet. This pair I just found in my garage, I think I bought them second hand from Pete. They are equally awful.

You are right they are never going to be good in the wet due to their tread pattern. Just can't figure out why people keep buying them and claiming they are god's gift of cheap tyres when they are so, so bad in the wet :S.

Guess the kiddies just love their liquid horsepower and don't know how much better it is to have tyres that actually provide some traction in the wet

They get most of thier props from the drift community dont they? and for that they are especially good, can take a real beating

    • Jax Tyres this Monday morning. Front lifted 15mm Back lifted 12mm Quote1, $175 per tyre + wheel alignment. Quote2, $660 inc wheel alignment. paid $298 for the lot.  
    • Finally have an update on this  Rack came in this week so I did a test fit. You do need the S chassis bushings since the rack is 5mm thinner than the R33 rack. The main issue I foresaw and ran into was one of the hardlines not lining up properly with there it's meant to on the rack. After some gentle coercing and bending very slightly, I managed to get it to fit without any kinks and keeping the hardline pretty much in all of the factory mounting positions. I did have to unbolt all of the soft mounts to move the line around so I could snake it out and bend it safely but it looks good to me for now. I'll update when the rack is fully bolted in and functioning.  
    • I hear this thread needs an update following its adventures last Wednesday!
    • What are you thinking makes a sequential shit to drive on the street? About the ONLY thing I can think of, is if you're wanting to be able to roll up to lights in third or second and pop it straight into neutral, or you want to come down two or three gears, say out of 5th and back to second, but they shift quick enough it doesn't really matter
    • I'm not a drag racing guy, but that was a good watch. Didn't Ibrahim's car have some cooch! But the big question is....WTF is with so many of them running without seatbelts!
