Madrox

nice write up.

from the video i am really impressed with how the aurion handled itself.

it really opened my eyes up to it.

well done mate.

Mobil Synergy 8000 is Caltex Vortex98

Explain

Im assuming he means they both come from the same refinery. Both companies selling the same product basically.

Exactly. Mobil doesnt supply any petrol stations in ACT/NSW. Caltex supplies on their behalf.

110% correct.

but to answer the question, i think ultimate is better.

v power racing was the best for my old 20v with my ecu tuned to 101RON

yeah the 595's are really good.

but even i noticed the 535's on my car are really good aswell.

its alot more comfortable than other tires like proxy.

road noise is minimal.

and suprisingly they grip fairly well.

and they aparently last years.

right tangcla.

i need some now for a yaris in 6000k and a 380 in 6000k.

i think the 380 has hi/lo in one socket and the yaris maybe the same.

prices??

i agree 100%.

your are very lucky to have that extra switch on ya knob.

we had a yr at work today and it didn't have an extra switch.

only the rush and the yrx have it.

spotted a very nice red prefacelift sportivo behind me on ryde road. we had a bit of fun and when he finally overtook me, gave me the thumbs up.

had black rims and yellow standard numberplate.

thanks you very much for that djkor.

got the 205/50r16's in federal.

165 per tire for 535's.

they are very unusual sizes.

thats why i had to wait for 2 days for them to come in.

i was sitting there when my trusted mechanic was on the phone to federal tires and they quoted 165 to him.

he didn't charge me for fitting and balancing ect.

all i have to say is that they are awsome compared to the nexens that were on it.

very low road noise, good traction and better handling.

plus they have some strange lip that is meant to protect the rim or something.

since i got the stivo i have been loving lift.

fortunatly i have not even come close to ever hitting someone or loosing control.

but this video has really made me think twice about my driving habits.

i will watch it everyday until i stop my habits

This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by NBC Universal.

a collection of the speeding video/commercials from around the world.

i hope these come in to play here soon. the pinky wiggle does nothing at all.

it in fact creates a laughing matter up at the pub.

drive safe these holidays please.

speeding video's

btw it is not a youtube video so i dont know how to post it up like one.

aparently they are more common that the 205/50

they were out of stock of the 205/50 but had plenty of the 205/55

Last time i checked, Taiwan was still in Asia....

So why asian equivalent??

Lol - no matter. Thought you meant something else.

Madrox, for that money I'm pretty sure you're getting the 595.

As I said, I pay $160 per tyre for the 595 in the next size up... why would you be paying the same for the 535 in 16" (unless they're ripping you off)?

for sure than.

well i hope it is the 595

the SS595

Drift Competition

Federal's extremely successful UHP, the former ss595, has been repositioned and renamed simply as the 595. Slight technical changes have been made by FTC to the tire to suit the purposes and take the abuse of drifting competition.

Combat-bred. Performance-driven. For those requiring flat-out performance, no other tire grips like the 595, yet still provides for the basic comforts of everyday driving. Aggressive V-shaped tread and innovative silica compound maximizes level of adhesion, resistance to aquaplaning, and gives

595EVO

Street Competition

State-of-the-art tire formulated for the ultimate driving experience. Rule the streets. Conquer the asphalt. Technologically advanced 3-D tread design. "Groove within Groove" technology for exceptional water dispersion capabilities and the latest compound formulated for competition. Precise cornering, exceptional grip. Responsive performance and control at high speeds.

SS535

Winning combination of performance and comfort. Federal's SS535 brings new meaning to high performance. Superior performance, uncommon handling, combined with exceptional acceleration and stopping capabilities in wet/dry weather and surfaces.

going by all of them and the fact that i did not specify exactly what tyre i was after just a cheap one. i will more than likely be getting the 535's.

at the end of the day they should be better than worn out nexens

lol sorry leroy.

i am not into the dirfting as in i do it.

i am mearly a spectator.

i find it hard to drift the sportivo.

i hope i am getting the 595.

i must admit i never checked.

i have only heard of these as i am into the drifting and they are a major sponsor of the drift nsw series.

i have never put them on my car or ever heard any opinions of them.

basically my car has no traction in the wet and i need pink slip in feb, the current tires have lasted 4 years and are getting pretty bad.

i currently have Nexen 205/50R16's and tommrow i will be getting Federal 205/55R16's on the sportivo.

standard rims lowered with whiteline springs.

main reasons for getting more profile is

1) i want to fill out the guards a little more

2) on a tight budget and i want the best value tire for $150

3) traction will be a little better as they are softer aparently

4) the only other tire i could get in 50 was sumitomo and i have never heard of these.

a couple of questions

1) will i have any problems with rubbing ect

2) are these better than sumitomo or the nexens

3) is 150 to much for these (trade price direct from federal btw)

4) any experiances??????

you will find that switch is for your rear foglight.

the yr's have rear foglights.

my gf has a yrs and thats what hers is for anyway.

just dont plug it in lol.

or put a hole in your rubber tube and plug it into that.

also try grahams wreckers out at prospect.

i know quite alot of cars that have been filling up newcastle way have had the same problems

nice looking car man.

i have some of those headlights on order atm,

just wondering if it is hard to put in and wire up?

will i need to buy more globes ect.

very quick.

i direct deposited money on sunday night and it arrived at my home today (wednesday).

very prompt. thanks tangcla

no idea man.

i have a ces cat on it and a dont think it is to old.

so i am not to sure anymore about the cat.

my bad.

i 140 a corner for kyb exel g and 120 a pair for the springs.

sorry for supplying misleading information.

autobarn dural is a sponsor of sydney rolla club. that is how i got them cheap.

not sure exactly.

also the interior light might make it go flat and the stereo and maybe the parkers or headlight might of been on.

wen we tint a cars at work, even brand new ones with new batteries,

1 hour of having the ignition on makes the car go flat.

thats with having the radio on low and putting the windows up and down at most 4 times.

it doesn't take much to make it go flat.
