Know quite a few of you are using them and rave about them.

Need two new rears and I'm thinking of giving them a try. However I'm not sure which type to get. The car is a daily driver so I'm not convinced I want the RS-R simply because I like having some grip in the wet and I tend to chew through soft compound tyres very very quickly (T1Rs in less than 5k km o.O). I've read mixed reports on the SS so was considering the EVO. Thoughts? Also where best to get them from in the ACT?

Ok, to recommend the best tyre for you I need to know:

1. What size?

2. Is your car a daily driver?

3. What is your car's approx power at the wheels?

4. How many track days, hillclimbs, motorkhanas do you compete it (or plan to)?

5. How many kms would you travel in a year?

If you can answer these questions I can help out with the tyres :thumbsup:

Either 595's or the 595EVO's (which are now available) in 235/45R17 would be perfect...

I would suggest going for the 595EVO if you want slightly better grip than the 595's (the EVO's will be more comparable in performance to the Toyo T1R's), however - if you dont want to spend the extra cash the 595's will be great for your use and you should expect around 30 - 35,000kms if you drive hard... Keep checking your rotations and pressures regularly for maximum tyre life :P

yeah but Michael with a car a gutless as yours, with someone as bad as you driving it, who needs good tyres? you go slow enough to drive soap on ice and stay in control!

hahaha get back to work (like I can talk)

    • It will give gains, but you wont hit 600 It will give gains but it wont get you to 600 imo. You will also sacrifice low down and you will be adding extra volume if you port match it, more so if you port the plenum runners depending and how its done I think the only time youre going to see about 100hp gains is if the car is making well over 1k kw I do have a spare set that I was going to test with, but i dont actually think there is anything worth getting going larger. I did a fair few S14/S15 and the standard TB is fairly small, I went to 60 and in some cases 64mm which is significant over the stock unit. You can also get some weird ratio changes. I think 20kw will be a stretch on a roller dyno. If I had it apart I might mill the shafts a little and not expect much, I think the stock size is still pretty good for a street/track car even with larger capacity. I might change diameter it if its a drag only car

    • Store bought, like dis  https://racecraftaus.com/products/muffler-oval-new?variant=39611886305393
    • As long as the bucket stays against the cam then it will measure up fine, the valve will close compared to a running engine but the bucket will stay against the cam lobe 
    • I feel like i would be like most people who get these, excited for the first 3-6 months and then just totally forget about it. The end products do look sick tho. Ive got a 1/12 scale r32 model, dunno where im gonna actually display it once its all done!
