now that is an interesting development... very interesting indeed... I may have to rethink my track rims now :D

:clap:

yeah i thought that might throw a spanner in the works for some.

16s look gay at the tracks lol if u look at the sizes for the range, in comparison to the rt215, they are geared more for the drifters.

but yeah, check to see if the falken distri in aus brings that size in. otherwise PM me if u need help.

02G's don't come in the right size, you need to get DJ01's and foe $360 a tyre... no thanks... I don't care how good they are, I'm going out there for fun, not to race seriously...

Yokohama A.Drive R1 215/40/R17

Northy has been running on Fulda's for about year or more. Heaps cheaper and pretty much a comparable tyre. depends on how much you want to spend. Fulda's seem to last a lil longer on North's car too...

Putting on 215/40/17 Bridgestone Adrenalin Potenza RE001 tomorrow :D

How did they go?

They are absolutely brilliant. Just couldn't stop driving yesterday, and wanted to hammer each corner I come up to :D

Coming from the worn Fuldas to band new Adrenalins was a huge contrast so I'm not going to compare them side-by-side.

Theres a few more things i want to try like stability in high speed lane change, some track work next month, and some other stuff they show on the website (click on performance) :yahoo:

Initial impressions are very grippy, stable and not much noise (in dry so far). The ride is a bit harder than Fuldas, not sure if thats the case in other sizes.

How do they handle in the wet? Have you pushed them yet?

The reply a month later -_- soz

We had a lot of rain here in the past month, and these do work very well in the wet.

In a straight line high speed, it cuts through quite easily and no aquaplaning.

Although I very rarely corner as hard in the wet as I would in the dry, I haven't had any slip'n'slides with "spirited" cornering (not pushed).

As with any tire they will spin if you plant your foot down when exiting a wet corner :D

We got ALOT of rain tonight and I was able to further test the RE001 :P

On a bend that I could "very comfortably" go 110+ in the dry, I will start to slide a little when going above 90 in very wet conditions... hope this helps :P

Although I don't intend to go that hard on any corners, I'm glad for that information.

Throughly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
