  1. I have not tried NT05. but a fan of mine is using NT01 in track days, they are better than R888 but Nitto is originated from Toyo anyways

  5. I have put R888 semis today, will test it out this weekend, hope to get some 1:14 Car has been returned to stock rims, a bit ugly Went to wakefield 2 weeks ago, PB is 1:16.7 in the last part of the video chasing up the R34, got 2 major incidents on that day, have to end the day early Here is the video of my race, racing with BMW E30 323i Honda EG and EK Civic Integra DC5 Type R Nissan Skyline R34 GTR Toyota Celica GT4 That R34 has been giving me few clogs of black smoke at the last corner at 11:33 Sound quality is bad due to made in china quality camera. That stock Type R is faster than me on the straight, but not by a big margin, the difference between my car and his car is not big On the contrary, I am just a bit faster than that stock E30 (with weight reduction) on the straight, which has 110kw (at the crank).. My conclusion is you really need to have big power difference or a turbo in order to run out somebody on the straight http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anO7J-V4aFo Hot hatch battle A 197X Corolla Celica GT4 Rally On one incident where one car broke the gear box and left the debris flying around, and damaged my friend's Holden IS200 My Car
  6. Congratulations, I have to say, the peak number is not impressive at all.. However, as you pointed out, the drivability significantly increase, it is something that the number does not speak out... That is the fun bit about tuning Have they changed the AF ratio? (Ask them for the AF ratio graph before and after) Also, how much torque has you gained?
  7. first 5 seconds thought, Hyundai i30 because the car is less round now
  8. looks really new indeed, I love your toy hanging on the gear knob !! I have a look for the photos JDM yard meet in fb, does not see your car..May be you can post some photos of your car
  9. Is that a typo? Ku36? I use KU31 before, they are crap. My re002 is heaps more grippy that Ku31, but Ku36 on the other hand, I believe it is grippier than re002 Ku31 is on a tread wear rating of 400, re001 is on 220, Ku36 is on 140 (not sure) Enjoy your new suspension, they really make you addicted !!
  10. hmm.. what makes you to buy this wheel pattern (I mean the Star pattern in your rim) I prefer your whole rim match with body colour, the silver bit of the rim just annoys me. Other than that, the offset looks good
  11. Recently, there has been questions about the effectiveness of ground effector / underbody spolier. Anymore discussion of this thing, please discuss here, instead of my member ride thread. I have dig up this article in english which might be useful. This should clear up many question about this mod Part 1 http://autospeed.com/cms/title_Modifying-UnderCar-Airflow-Part-1/A_2455/article.html Part 2 http://autospeed.com/cms/title_Modifying-UnderCar-Airflow-Part-2/A_2456/article.html It is going too complicated to a level that I am not qualified to read the analysis
  12. even I doubt whether these 2 metals are effective. I cannot find any review article in English about this thing, I can only find Japanese reviews $260 is expensive because JPY is very expensive, it actually cost 20K JPY include delivery, few years ago, 1JPY=1 AUD, now 1JPY=1.3 AUD I cannot find a scientific measurement of how useful is this thing I still have not installed it since I just ordered yesterday from Japan, so cannot test out.Comparison of lap times will tell in the future.. I agree that I am wasting my money, but modding car is waste of money anyways, and car racing is a sport that is dangerous and waste of money, even I dun know why I do this sport Since dutchie101 has installed it here I dun mind giving it a shot as well I have read a few review in japanese, they are quite positive. Read the following about one guy driving RX8, (google translate is still not good) http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fkamekichi.blogzine.jp%2Frx8%2F2005%2F09%2Fpost_dd11.html&act=url I probably to be a geniue pig to try this thing. May be it gives me suprise. May be I am a moron after all !!
  13. Inspired by Dutchie101 who has installed this, I got this ground effector today $260 include delivery, order from http://www.plotonline.com/others/customer.html They speak English. Part number is 51413 Installation menu is http://www.plotonline.com/dcuatro/others/pdf_data/manual/ge1/51413.pdf They work from 50km/h up, I guess I should be able to feel it in highways or track days Google translate of a review, the amount of download actually suprise the author. I have read other reviews which is positive about it as well http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fmru.txt-nifty.com%2Fblog%2F2009%2F03%2Fground-effector.html&act=url
