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.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
