Have you given the Ar1's a workout yet?

Had my first crack with the car on sat.

apart from being an awesome time the tyres were excellent. only took a lap maybe a lap and a half and the grip was excellent.

the value for money is huge. the only thing, and im sure its like it with any tire, the tyre pressure really ballons after every session.

i started with 33 in all 4, after the first session i was loosing grip. came in and it had 55 in all 4!

So let them down and yer was excellent again.

i now have to upgrade my brakes as they boiled and lost nearly all brakes by the end of the day

kumho ecsta la sport ku39 265/35R18

.

 

A little off topic, and more a vent about this dodgy place without putting names down.

But some tyre places really don't listen or understand when you specify a tyre like the Michelin Pilot Sport 4and I really emphasized the S, and then specifically specified not the 4 or 4ST as they are a different tyre...

They quoted my for my rear tyre size, that I know doesn't come in the 4S, and is only available in the 4 or 4ST (these last two are the same tyre according to Michelin Aus). They then went to quote me on a size for the front that I know doesn't come in the 4 or 4ST, so maybe it was for the 4S or maybe it was a Nito Invo ha ha.

Anyway. Looks like I'll be off to a tyre place that understands that the Pilot Sport 4S is a different tyre, or at least someone who pays attention to details.

Well from my experience, some tyre shops can't put wheel nuts on properly, and when they do a "toe check" they mess up the alignment more than it was already, so I'm not surprised some can't tell the difference between PS4 and PS4S.

Has anyone seen the AR1 in 255 R17? I can only find online listings for 235.

What place in Adelaide had them that cheaply? 

Currently using 235 RS-R and was going to go for 255 RS-RR, but the AR1 seem cheapish and review wellish for racing myself against the clock. Ideally, would like them in 255 though as Im guessing the difference between 235 AR1 and 255 RS-RR will be a bit smaller.

I've seen the AR1's advertised on gumtree in 255 40 17, $240 each from memory. Don't think the shop was in Adelaide though.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
