Post edited to remove pointless dribble about nitto's as I failed to notice he is after ghey 19's

Joeyjoejoe: Yes starting to regret the 19's now... bought when car was essentially stock with no major plans for upgrading it... they look the bizz but makes finding tyres (especially affordable tyres) much harder... :blink:

I'm just shocked at how laggy the car is. 5000rpm to get to 18psi? Something is not right there.

Federal SS for all round performance, or KU36s for the dry.

Yes i thought something was wrong from looking at that sheet as well, but couldn't feel it on the road - I tested it on the road this morning - full boost well before 4500rpm so its just obviously either the ramp rate on the dyno or the way the operator put (or didn't put) his foot down!

Just goes to show that dyno charts need to be taken with a grain of salt...

been around for a while now... i run them every now and then in my drift car. with 310 rwkw and aggressive boost and torque curve it doesnt wheel spin in any gear in a straight line... pretty grippy tyre! they also work well from cold and dont require much heat to get them performing.

you cant be serious about the nankangs, they are good for a burnout and thats about it.

ime dead serious. they are great for what they are and the price, they perform good against better branded stuff. i work in a tyre shop and most people cant aford $400 $500 dollar tyres that do no klms.

there after a good alrounder. if it was a track car it would be different.

but ime not saying there good against some of the other stuff.

    • Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
    • As well as being risky WRT tipping off anyway. Yeah, I wouldn't expect it to move. Just measure from the rear one to the front one on the good side, then measure that same length on the wrecked side. You will find the notches in the pinchweld, and the jacking pad. Just spray a spot of marker paint or something there.
    • but any other area than the bulge you are talking about will just cave in then? The front driver side is pretty bent so I don't know if that will work the way it is now. I can still kinda make out where that bulge is/was but it looks like the position of it also changed due to all the mistreatment? Hard to tell
    • Absolutely. Look very closely at the photo (of yours) that I took my second snip of. See how the sill is thicker material right behind the pinchweld, where the two notches are? That is the factory reinforced area for lifting. That pad is supposed to carry the weight. The factory jack (go look at it, and how it interfaces with the car at the pinchweld) shows you exactly how the load is carried from the car to the jack to the ground.
    • if need be I guess I will, yeah. Just to be clear, it's okay to use the sill area around the jacking points for loading, meaning the actual pinch weld or jacking point just sits in the slot without taking on any weight?
