Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

Evening all!

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 ;)

I assume you speak of the 595SS......they are useless. Pete, it always rains when I want to go for a nice drive....stupid weather.

I've never had nice tires on my car ever... Maybe one day

skids

Live to bake?

this

Kuhmos FTW!

agreed, and lifespan is much better too

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 rajab'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 do break traction pretty easily too....Sic skids, but mine left very little marks on the road...skid fail :(

so trailer booked, address in hand, and revs cheack all good :)

getting the body tomorrow and then let the swapping begin!!

get into it!

Commo spec?

LS7?

good chat :P

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
