Then take off in 2nd pretty sure you'd have enough torque for that!!

depending on the road but traction is hard to get in 1st, 2nd and sometime even 3rd, big car, easy to handle mmmmmmm sideways!!

it doesnt matter what road surface for some reason. I cant get traction at all in 1st and if i rev it too fast or start reaching 4k rpm and above the thing starts to go sideways/fishtailing. but damn i hate the wet in such a big car that is rwd although im sure others are the exact opposite of me and love the wet.

And what happens when you put it in 2nd after wheel spin for a couple of seconds? You must get a fare bit of tramp then, cos mine get plenty of wheel spin also and a whole heap of tramp(hate that feeling)

Yeh sweet, i was born there left when i was 2(well had no choice on the matter) You don't drive to Adel everyday to go to work do you? Thats a longish drive!!

nah mate, i live and work here, i dont like the place that much. im in adelaide most weekends, we got a place there too.

they just cover the width, thus no noticable streaching but i think i need 276's.

Nah dude streach is good especially on the rear, i have same wheels 8.5 front and 9.5 rear, and i run 235/40/18 all round, rears have good streach while not as much on front looks fat and it acctually used the wall of the tyre when up to a higher temp and getting a booting.

Rear cradle bushes will help the axle tramp but then will be more happy to ass end out. Try changing gears just after it hits boost and somwhat feather the throttle off until wheelspin stops, see how that goes!! :Pimp2:

who streched the tyres for one. as when i had to buy mine no who would do it - except dodgy workshops which i couldnt find, so had to go with what i just stated. those measurements reminds me of my friends car who has 235 streched over 10" width rims - you know who im talking bout sam we went for a thrash in his car.

Who ever won't streach tyres are soft, fair call if someone wants to streach 215 or 225 on that size rim, but 235 is streached but not that streched, Go see Dave at WheelWorx on South Rd just north of Anzacs, he can give you a good price on tyres and streach them if you want, tell him i sent you and he will sort you out anytime.

I don't want to make a liar out of SAMBO so.. here goes...

"nEEERRRRRRRRRR"

    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works! 
    • So, when are you trying the new GR86 or BRZ?
    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
