Not so far but to be fair i havent really played with it to check.... They were brand spanking and still had writing on them so let me bed them in and ill check back in!

Actually on that note, i will know by the end of Sunday as its doing the Nulon Nats event :woot:

I'm sure it's the same for most tyres as the ad08r requires about 100km of driving to wear off the top shiny coating before the grippy part comes into play

Oh FFS then i better do some K's before it goes on the trailer this weekend then!

They look pretty bulgey compared to the old 275's i ran... You can see the difference between a 255RSR and a 275 RS3

If anyone wants the other pair of the 275/35/18 let me know... Will sell for what they cost me but i had to buy 4 to get the deal...

Brand new with stickers $512.50 for the pair :laugh:

Freight additional!

There was no magical grip that i was hoping for... 2nd gear is still skidsville BUT it was a road surface so it is not the best indication at this stage!

What tyre pressure and camber? They can affect the grip level as well

Yep, i was running 0 camber but it is now up to around -1.4 or something like that for circuit use.... In saying that i went from a 265 to a 275 in the hope the straight line contact patch would remain similar, but probably not lol

Pressure was about 30 hot so a bit low from a standing start.... But i did warm them up prior -

That's a damn good price for 275 35 18!

I'd only put KU36s back on if Maria and I are having a domestic ;)

Lololol so you cant hear? Brilliant!

Oh and i changed my opinion on the RS3 too once i had them hot on the track, great tyre!

Told ya so Matty! :D

The rears had heaps of corner grip... Straight line had issues but i had it turned down to gate pressure for the run anyway...

After a few hard laps of South circuit the fronts (Federal RSR) would start to understeer yet i still had heaps of rear grip and no signs of it fading!

Its impressed me enough to step up to the next level of Hankook ;)

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
