support for multiplayer games over IP??? i have ea sports fifa 96->2003 including RTWC and World Cup versions => i love this game...problem is they dont have support for my stupid onboard sound card!!!

titanium?????

yup. i totally agree. they will be a cult car aimed at the pure enthusiast wanting more or something different to an my03 sti. didnt the evo6.5 retail in australia for like 80-85K?

is that so???

sambo, i wasnt bagging out the evo8 - i farken love this car! im just mocking the name mitsubishi as the reality is they arent one of the most reputable car manufacturers in the world.... that said amuse me, why do you think 55k is a reasonable price? i would still be tempted to buy an evo8 at 10-15k over and above an my03 sti because they are that good.

i'd be very surprised if "its-so-shitty" release the evo8 for 55k in australia...

when i got my blue slip they didnt even care about the mods. they only checked the engine number, chassis number, weight of the car all checked off to the paperwork. this was done at a workshop in Drummoyne, underneath the 7-11 petrol station on the foot of gladesville bridge opposite the lawn bowling club in Sydney. the guy there is Tony.

when you're on the track it would make a huge difference. you dont want fluctuations in tyre pressures as it effects handling...

would be quite an agreement between honda and bridgestone if that was the case wouldnt it be??? i heard something similar to that but i can't qualify it jimx, ...... daymn!

i had a friend fill his tyres with nitrogen on his s2000 before coming to trackday. wether it was done correctly or not i dont know, but he was saying his tyre pressures did fluctuate quite alot with heat. it goes against theory but i had to mention it nonetheless. perhaps the tyres werent fully deflated when refilling with nitrogen? who knows... on another note, arent plane wheels filled with nitrogen because its non flammable?

my review on toyo trampios r1r's. they are a hybrid semi slick/street tyre. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=28779

why are you limiting yourself to falken's?

Helps quite alot! thanks for the info sydneydude! most of your detail on the sping rates stuff went over my head, but i get what you're coming from in summary though, you say caster will eliminate most of the understeer - you say 80%? are you thus suggesting that only 20% of this problem can be fixed by perhaps driver technique and sway bar settings?

sydneykid, can you please elaborate on your point "...in addition, a 4wd (GTR or GTST) absolutely needs a different combination of stabiliser bars than a rwd." ??? i'd be really interested to help out a friend of mine who had whiteline sways fitted to his GTR and is *only* experiencing understeer (hence my point) take a look... the rear sway bar is on the hardest setting, the front is on a soft setting (unsure how soft though). i guess i suggested this to him coming from a RWD experience, but your comments have made me think of how attessa would effect this? the suspension is stock GTR setup, running michelin pilot sports and running about 37psi hot in the front. we ran them higher but understeer just got worse!? imho, a few things which might help reduce this understeer would be to - play with rear tyre pressures? - go softer setting on the front? - change driver??? thoughts? of course this is just using swaybars, as explained, no camber or castor adjustments are allowed since the gear isnt on the car... in my personal experience and coming from RWD, i had a full whiteline handling pack fitted + rear diff brace running on toyo trampios r1r's which a are a hybrid semi slick and street tyre. handling was pathetic, from a stock setup where i could induce oversteer it went to full understeer! back to the drawing board, i had fitted a front camber kit (at -1.75 degrees) and set the rear swaybar on the hardest setting - results were pretty good, handling still has a touch of understeer but its predominately nuetral now. tyre pressures help alot running about 36psi hot in the front. my next time down to wakefield park im going to have the front sway bar put on a softer setting (as i think im on the 2nd hardest atm) and play around with rear tyre pressures....

heh... i saw a midnite purple BNR34 tonite at OzTag - "UGLY" apparently Ugly Phil from 2dayfm's old car...AND a silver EVO6 GSR(? didnt quite see the front or was close enough to see the rear stickers )

boost is everything man! 0.1bar = 10rwkw or thereabouts a free flowing exhaust will improve gas flow and as a result allow your engine to breathe better and hence run more boost - naturally

with a stock ecu? no.

now spotted twice, blue bnr34 "34VSPEC". he's waived at me both times, im wondering if he'll let me drive his car now :headspin: in the city the other night, "HPI-34T" - not ben ellis, but another guy who works at the same publishing company as him - was quite a buzz cruising down george st. with him too

just have to remember that its not always about peak power figure, its the AREA under the graph that counts. peak figure is always going to be restricted by the hardware you are running, so the difference between a good tune and an ordinary tune might not necessarily be in the peak figure you make...

what did you boost increase from with the new exhaust???

from the seat of the pants feel.....it doesnt surprise me in the slightest. same with my front mount i/c, i didnt feel a thing. same with front pipe and dump pipe....nadda! but when they all came together with boost and powerfc install and tune...yeah, made a big difference....

you dont need TCS

:headspin: :headspin: :headspin: :headspin: :inlove:

lol..sorry dude, i should've put my 2c forward - pinging sounds like shaking a tin can filled with nuts and bolts ... wether this be the case of "zzzeeeeaaaaaaaa" i would hazard a guess thats either a) induction noise or B) your turbo
