Nah , the tyres you have will be fine . Speeds are not that high and you will scrub them up anyway so best to use the crappy rubber.

We aren't looking for the fastest times around the tests , just a steady improvement.

Ken - they are absolutely awful to drive on - and theyve only got worse since cos the way ive been driving the car lately. When i took it out the back of Jarrahdale on Sunday - i found the car very difficult to control specially when cornering - so if i can get my hands on some loaners i would rather do that.

Been taking your depression out on the poor car ?

Trust me , it won't be too much of a problem if you don't get any.

Why don't you get some 2nd hand ones for a while before you can afford new ones.

And yes , I saw your post re. not buying crap tyres again but a lot of the problem was stuffed shockies causing the lumps in the tyres.

nah im getting second hand ones coming to me - couple of weeks away tho - its insurance n rego month im soooo poor in june - bloody paying rego on two cars!! But i cant not have new tyres - as dad said no point having a performance vehicle if you cant drive it properly - aidwin saw it bouncing all over the road very uneven - might as well be driving with square wheels.

Paul said he probably can get me some loaners.

Yes my poor car gets a lot of my fustrations taken out on it - hopefully it'll escape the polices attention tho.

besides im a competitive person - i wanna good time doing it for the chickies :)

Yea but it's a training day and I'm not interested who gets fastest time.

What we are trying to achieve is smooth control , good planning and recognition of car dynamics and how it can work for you.

I could probably jump in any of your cars and beat your times but that shows nothing.

I want you to better your own times , not some one elses.

cheers

my car gets it if im pissed off so if im calm i'll better my own times - if im pissed i'll try and better everyone elses.

i dont know might just be the state of mind im in but i cant wait to get out there hehe

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
