Toyo R1R's... decent tyre?

Need new tyres all round and want some quality items. I know Kristian rated them pretty highly? Anyone else running them?

are R1R's the semi slicks?

I'm running T1R's (have been for 2.5 years) and theyre really good... only considering the goodyear eagle f1 asymmetric as wheels magazine rated it a tad higher than the toyos

Supposed to be one of the closest things to an R-compound semi slick you can get in a road tyre. There was what you'd call a slight uproar about who should get access to them at what cost in drift comp circles as they were said to pretty much put anyone who wasn't using them at an unfair disadvantage.

Can't help you in any real world feedback but judging by what others have said it sounds like you'd be hard pressed to get a better performing tyre short of a semi slick, in the dry at least.

Well by all reports they are up there. ID also recommend Kumho Ecsta KU36 and Maxxis i-Pro

Yeah but it beats having the massive sqaure number plate holder, and only using half of it, so you can see the other half looks a little ghey

Thats why you snip away the bottom half :(

any one know where i can get bolt on flares? or ant type of flare that i can graft on to my guards?

im having a vision of the 31 with them in black, getting drift teks soon and want to push them out.

hit AJPS up for some AE86 flares

same size of wheel arch to a 31

hit Decs up maybe and see if he's got some spares (Garage 7)

    • Because there is still an engine underneath that turbo. PSI is not a measurement of power, it's a byproduct of resistance. What would be really decent is to have a CFM gauge on the output of a turbo to see how much it's actually pushing. 21psi (as an example) is not the same amount of air at 3000rpm as it is at 7000rpm, even if the boost controller is controlling boost at "21psi". The engine is inhaling and exhaling way more air at 7000 than at 3000, even if it's less efficient.
    • don't want anything more or less, I don't really understand why the torque still goes up to 6000-6500, while the boost peak is around 4000. if it only comes from the cams or from the boost controller etc.  
    • I'm not sure you understand the physics of what you are asking. Can you draw on the dyno graph what you want to have happen? I'm thinking this is a functional impossibility here, unless you chose a turbo literally so laggy that torque is at max at 7000rpm and artificially choked prior to that. Power and Torque are intrinsically linked. Power is just Torque over time. What you're really seeing in the torque graph is "Power per RPM" if that makes any sense whatsoever. You still get more power at 7000rpm than 5000rpm, because it is "power per RPM" and you have more RPM. at 7000 than you do at 5000. You still feel more powerful at 7000rpm. The torque graph will influence the rate of power increase per RPM.
    • Welcome!  If possible,  would live to see some pics. How long was it away getting the work done? Hopefully it feels like a new machine.
    • yes indeed the graphic format makes a visual difference but there is on average 120nm more between 4000 and 6000rpm on the curves it is not nothing. you are right, the cams influence the torque curve. I was able to chat with one of the Hypergear tuners, he confirmed that a boost control allows you to manage the pressure after the spool. the absolute pressure (psi) on the graphics is measured where? It seems that the cams affect the maximum pressure depending on the regime but I may be wrong.   not pleasant to drive before 4000? if we spend our lives between 1000 and 3000 rpm as you say then we might as well just run diesel turbos
