Put some AD08s on it and come back and say that..

Lol I know I know, wasn't srs

srs doe cant get ad08s in 19s

Had nittos and they were mad, will get some good ones soon got some big brembos in the house ready to go on too

Once I intercool it might actually take it to the (circuit) track for some fun

yeah changed massively over past 3 years.

I struggle to get performance tyres in 17" now 255 17 is a raity, when I was seriously tracking they were the most common..

it all 18+ now with all performance cars running 18-20's

going to change wheels to 18's soon so rubber cheaper.

Made over 850nm torque on that dyno throughout the whole rev range basically.. not sure exactly what that means on a dyno but yeh.

it means you don't know the difference between torque and tractive effort

Inb4 worse off the line traction with AD08Rs. Mine always needed a bit of heat in them to get going.

Borcis experience - (Leroys experience + (Greg's experience * g)) = X

Calculate for X

g = Greg's coefficient [(Damage done * price in AUD)/time spent off the road ^2.8]

Really bruh? I could launch them at 6k no problem even early in the morning

I spun out all over the place on NT05's... at like 30kmh off throttle. Was great.

I won't bother with trying to do another run at Heathcote with AD08's (never mind the fact the car never managed a pass last time lol) due to their horrific grip on the strip.

I found them to grip much better on a normal road though.

Also, there was a FG Typhoon the first time I went to Heathcote, making 420rwkw, had some suitable tyres, being MT ET Streets and was running mid 10's every run, so I'd wager "needs 500rwkw to feel quick" probs not quite so much, depending on what your definition of 'quick' is

The problem with Leigh's car is its linear power delivery and you can blame the supercharger for it. One of Barry's customers has a blown GTS and it's the same deal, quick car but doesn't feel fast once you've sat through a couple of 0-100s. Speedo goes up very quick but the seat of the pants doesn't replicate. They really do need a lot of power to feel fast everywhere. Leigh's car only gets scary when you're above 150 and it's still climbing very quickly, on cheap shit tyres...

To be fair, all scary cars are only scary when scary.

I was in a 400KW -5's R33 GTR recently and it felt very non scary, mainly due to the fact it really didn't give a shit about losing grip at any point. Stability is both good and bad in that aspect, I'd wager bigger, heavier cars like the GTS, or Leigh's car would do much the same. I've been told my boaty sedan feels a little that way too, but not in the same ballpark of a GTR or larger cars.

Probably saying that is why a MX5 is fun at about 4kmh

Birds my way to get that turbo rush of power out of nowhere is to get dat dere foot turbo lag makes you realize that it pulls, either that or sit 4000rpm then stomp the throttle for that instant throwback.

That awkward moment when a walkinshaw gts goes you off the line when you've just started driving and tyres are rock icey cold, skated all the way up Blackburn road near Monash playing catch-up. Then on roll he bitched out when I was aware

RE002's had much better cold grip than AD08R for me. Maybe sidewalls too stiff.

When on the limit pulsar is scary. Mainly for grip/stability reasons. But handles well in corners.

Soon to be booked in for shit loads of fab work. Then on the home straight... Sort of.

Working in fuel and intake at the moment.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
