Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

In other news... Swapped some 2871's into a mates zed over the weekend. What a PITA.

Goes pretty decent tho, considering 14psi and a stock engine with low comp on at least 1 cyl :D

I found them quite good also :s

For the price

They're decent in the dry, but absolute rubbish in the wet. As quite a few at the sprint day last year will attest to :P.

If you think they're 'quite good' in the wet, you need to try some other tyres ;)

Ohhhhhhh I didn't realise they were designed to be a wet track tyre! :P

Kuhmos FTW!

For real though 595s are never going to be excellent in the wet, they have no radial grooves, The EVO or the RPM are needed for that. Trouble with either of those is the crappy size selection though, Luckily I can fit a 285 if I really must.

I wasn't using them at the track... but others were and found them to be quite useless.

I have used them on the road before though and they were terrible in the wet. This pair I just found in my garage, I think I bought them second hand from Pete. They are equally awful.

You are right they are never going to be good in the wet due to their tread pattern. Just can't figure out why people keep buying them and claiming they are god's gift of cheap tyres when they are so, so bad in the wet :S.

Guess the kiddies just love their liquid horsepower and don't know how much better it is to have tyres that actually provide some traction in the wet

They get most of thier props from the drift community dont they? and for that they are especially good, can take a real beating

Because it almost never rains?

    • What are your plans for your blow off valves? Purely plumb back? How soft will the spring in them be? AFM can be tricky to get super smooth and nice, especially depending on the rest of the system, and then can be very easily upset if something slightly changes. IE, even if you run recirc blow off valves, you could still see issues getting it to behave at certain load points as turbos might start to spool, but you release the throttle but it's not enough pressure to crack the bov open to recirc, and you can end up with reversion which can cause double metering, and hence dumping of fuel into the system, and stalling the engine.   If you're going to run a map sensor for closed loop boost control from the ECU, what makes you want to keep the AFM?    
    • It's not bad, it's just not flexible. And say if you have any leaks between the MAF and plenum, well then your load axis goes out the window. Here's a real world scenario, I blew off an intercooler hose last track day, as the clamp decided to Bluetooth itself somewhere. Still continued to do 2 laps and drive it to the pub for a couple of beers then home. Good luck doing that with a MAF setup 
    • Is MAF load really that bad? I'm not trying to do big power, my only real desire is VCAM and flex fuel support so I'm not terrified of blowing my engine apart from CA's appalling 95 RON "premium" fuel. Stuff like playing with closed loop boost control and really dialing in my transient fueling and ignition are frankly just to prove to myself I remembered something from uni.
    • Thats what ive been doing. Ive got a million questions but i know theyve probably all been answered before at some stage. Todays research included nismo heritage seat covers, s3 projector headlight retrofits and how to remove/paint the rocker covers
