Steve,

On the street my RE540S's (once warm) are bloody awesome. Put it this way, after fitting them the new grip levels helped my clutch die very quickly. Previously my 255 Falkens had taken the brunt through w/spin. New grip levels & minimal w/spin meant it was the clutches turn to cop it!

On the strip I've yet to make the most of them. Clutch slip & failure to heat them (no burnout) are the reasons.

Well had 3 runs 2nite. Not very happy, but oh well. First run 14.8 105mph. 2nd run 14.1 108mph and the 3rd 14.8 103mph. I think the main problem was the tyres on the back. I had re540s but it kept bogging down of the line. I was taking off with 5-6000 revs but still bogging down. By the time I got going it was down to about2500. My r/t were all aroud .4 to .5 Those tyres have sooo much grip

i ran a 14.8 when my car was stock, went back to the track last night with fmic, pod, 3" all the way and boost at 14psi. Had big boost problems, it kept bleeding back to 10psi, i'm thinking the waste gate actuator or the BOV are leaking. Still ran a 14.491 though which makes me confident i can break into the 13's with this setup.

    • Ya thankfully I've been able to drive it, it's pretty fun however I noticed yesterday while driving to work that my left side of the car is very wobbly, like any bump I go over it jolts the whole vehicle and pulls the steering wheel, I kicked the wheel a few times once I got home and it's a very distinct metal on metal clunk, so I guess I need to take a look at my suspension, maybe it's a control arm bushing or tie rod 
    • With Tyroola, they're probably 10 years old. It's already pretty clear that they've given the job of copywriting their adverts to an artificial stupidity (which could be a Year 9 dropout, or someone recently arrived to Oz with almost no English).
    • "Here's how it works: Buy a set of four Pirelli tyres." Hey I think these guys are on to something 🤣
    • Absolutely! I've been in love with them since I was a kid. I remember doing a school essay on Humvee's back in grade 5 haha. I always wanted one, but didn't have the space nor the funds. With us now looking for another larger home with a larger garage, I'll have room to park it. They have also gone down considerably in price. The US army has been phasing out Humvee's, so they're flooding the market which also brings down H1 prices.  It shouldn't be a problem to drive around here, I live in the suburbs. I would absolutely not buy one if I lived in a city though. They are known to be terribly unreliable. People often swap out the original 6.2/6.5L for a more reliable Duramax.  H1 and Humvee's are identical, minus the fact that the H1 has a dash and seats. It sadly also makes the H1 more expensive. I've driven both and the Humvee interior, or lack thereof makes it extremely loud and unpleasant to drive. Don't get me wrong, the H1's interior is horrendous, but at least it's present. Most do a custom interior in a Humvee which I'm also more than happy to purchase. 
    • Then I realised it was just a typo. I was hoping for a set of Pirellys for my 5 series.
