  1. Where'd you get them from? I got a quote for RE002s and they were over $300 a corner for the same size you've said there I think. I just ended up with a set of Yoko S.Drives from the states, $126 a corner :) Got mine from Bacchus March Bridgestone ( Victoria). This dealer in Richmond selling even bigger 235/45/17 for 220 a corner. Got my previous ones from him. http://www.ebay.com....=item415dc3f357 How much for shipping from US if you don't mind me asking?
  2. Hi, Mick $210 per corner. Size 225/55/16
  3. OMG!!! have seen this one few days ago, looks like some ugly rice tuning!
  4. I have RE002, do not feel any major difference to RE001, probably just a little bit better cornering. Going to try Continental ExtremeContact DW next time, not sure if they available in Australia will order from US if not.
  5. Probably people have desire to modify car in some ways but also want a reliable good car. Not dodgy old jap import.
  6. Just got myself new tyres. bridgstone RE002. Very quiet! Previously I had RE001. The new ones definitely very quiet.
  7. If you toped up oil between services and overfilled it, than... it damaged engine pretty badly. Blue smoke means engine will die soon.
  8. So you do mean Understeer right? Which makes more sense with what you're saying. Having said that, the understeer on the Aurion actually isn't too bad. It will plow if you overdrive it and charge hard and late into corners (But Big heavy Car doesn't), but if you give the car (and yourself) time to settle and set up for the corner, it actually isn't bad especially for a car its size, as mentioned earlier it can be pretty nimble. Would've liked the Aurion to at least have an LSD and that would be sweet. cut the corner you mean. FWD gives you less chance to control slide, if it starts to slide, then it slide. loose speed or slide. If road windy but not much i dont have problem with understeer at all, but when in starts to take sharp turns, thats the problem. I like Aurion, but step up is V8 and RWD. Or no point to change it.
  9. Sorry, my bad. English not my first language and I still making mistakes :(
  10. you can not cure understeer. understeer is the biggest problem. You can go very fast on some windy road even on small Kia or Daewoo, just put best and wide wheels on it. But if you start really pushing understeer just will kill all the effort. RWD and AWD is different story and can be pushed harder. So I do not see any point in upgrading to say TRD. Another FWD with all the same problems. Add here launch in wet- awful. On the other hand winners of WTCC are Chevy Cruze and Seat which are FWD against BMW 320. So on small cars with little weight and modifications one can achieve performance even from FWD. But on big heavy car... FWD just not gonna work vs RWD.
  11. Coz they look plain may be. I dont like look of it ether, but they are fast and nice to drive. Not much choice here(in large car segment). ether SS, XR6T, XR8 or TRD. Other V8s or V6Ts are just too expensive. Mind you all everyday fast cars are V8, such as M3, RS4, IS-F.
  12. But no more that nasty oversteer, powersteer on some narrow mountain roads during overtaking is a bitch as well. Audi S3 may be? Audi RS4 best, but price.., S3 still an option I suggest.
  13. If Kazashi V6 arrive here, price will be over the top, something like $45k-50K. for small suzuki, its just wrong. Mondeo... if live in Europe and you are veeeeryyy boooring and old probably Mondeo is a way to go..
