Personally i would prefer good wet weather braking over good traction in the wet.

Why not have both! Braking in the wet at traffic speeds is only gonna be as good as your front tyres!

I hearya dude. both is great but i become miss daisy when it rains. Traction even in the worst conditions will not be an issue to me.

Lol,

Seems to be a right royal clusterf*ck at work today. Email Down, Internet Down, Document Management system down, 90% of all other systems down.

Glad I didn't make it in, somebody else's problem :thumbsup:

Too much wet this weekend. Garage got 2" covering and it almost came inside the house :thumbsup:

I put some oober drainage out the front too..... stupid thing got blocked between the street run off and the drains I put in... grrr.

Yeah, Rain is good, the grass seed we threw out last week is about two inches long, but at the moment 70% of it is under water. I think it's drain digging time, when it finally stops raining on the bloody weekends.

I just have more weeds growing :thumbsup:

And haven't been able to mow for weeks

havent had to mow a lawn in like 18 months because of the horses lol. That's the only thing they're good for.

Apparently they taste good too.

Well, we just had people bring in old crt monitors asking why they werent working. The things were filled with water because they left the window open :\

My coon's brakes arent too fantastic, they shudder in the dry (even with new rotors/pads) so it's a good thing I only had to drive to aspley and back this morning and then 5 minutes to work.

I was thinking about how awesome it would be to have awd today, getting up a hill with t/c on wasnt fun.

It's raining fuccking sideways!!!

Lol, I opened the garage door this morning, saw that, and instantly thought of Forest Gump giving a breakdown of the different types of rain.

sup mangs. Scored a full exhaust for the GTR. Front pipes, cat, and 3 inch catback with canon for $220. Bargain.

by scored, is another member going to start a thread in a few minutes saying "some cunt stole the exhaust off my r32 gtr."?

today's drive to work was great fun. No one on the road cause you couldn't see more then about 20 metres in front of you this morning

The Exige Type 72

The Exige Scura

Which are all the same as these - Exige Cup 260

All 260Hp 2ZZ-FE toyota supercharged engines, the only real difference is the Type 72 runs Bilstein/Eibach suspension and the Scura and Cup 260 run full Ohlins external cannister race suspension. All of them are around 900Kg on the road.

    • Unfortunately haven’t taken pics yet after it was finished. All the edges are hemmed nicely, just had to cut holes for the gear shifter and seat bolts and seat belt bolts in the rear. The molds seem like they’re done with steam and a layer of glue on the underside to hold a bit of shape but still soft enough that it’s a good fit when it’s all pressed down.
    • When's the rear mounted turbo kit coming? Needs dose and V8 chop idle lol.
    • I was very unimpressed with how the car came up from the A pillar forward, before I hit things (twice). It all has to go. It had to go, but now it has to go... more. So we finally found the very first Shennanigans with the entirely perfectly setup engine that had no problems being pulled apart to improve on 'was perfectly fine'. Cam bearings looked a bit... stock. Which isn't entirely bad given they were stock and this is a ~20 year old engine. So new cam bearings are on the way because it's somewhat difficult to get to this stage to do it later, and it will trash the block. It was quite unusual that it wasn't done when the perfectly new-looking VCM cam was originally installed by [unknown] What IS unusual is the cam that was installed there was advanced SIX degrees. As to why there is no way to know.. however it could have been @Dose Pipe Sutututu's mate who wanted a larger cam sound but also wanted it to come on earlier to be more usable. This is my dyno sheet with the previous setup - This cam is not supposed to peak until 7000+ RPM, according to VCM. This is what lead me down the whole 'my heads/intake setup is running out of puff and can't support the cam' line of thinking to begin with. Anyway too late now - New cam is in! It could be rather funny if this smaller cam acts like a larger cam because it isn't advanced six degrees. In the spirit of everything is working amazingly - the COMP cam required no dialling in whatsoever. It was about 0.5 degrees advanced, which seems pretty bang on. Any adjustment either way would be further out. I'm told as a chain breaks in it ends up regarding back about 0.5 a degree as the chain breaks in, making it bang on. In the spirit of everything was previously working amazingly - The timing gear that was taken out turned out to be was an N-Motion double timing chain kit, with adjustable cam gear (which is how it was 6 degrees advanced) and all looks entirely perfectly new. It also had a Torrington bearing, which was one of the reasons I ended up getting the Cloyes kit which they used in the C5R 24 hour racecar - Because I couldn't confirm what was in the engine when talking to Tony Mamo. I did believe however it was a Double chain kit of some kind... but found no supporting documentation or evidence for it.
    • I recently did this to my R33 with the full set from Car Mats Direct, they can't do the vinyl anymore that's advertised on the website due to a supplier issue so I ended up with the Black Loop Pile which looks great. I went all out with rubber sound deadening sheets from Repco and also added the sound deadening foam layer option with the carpet. Makes a world of difference and got rid of all the weird smells in the 29 year old interior. It was a bit of work but I'd 100% recommend it, Car Mats Direct had awesome customer service and quick postage. Replaced my seats with some sporty ones from Autotechnia while I was at it, feels like a new car.
