Anyone else enjoying the wet weather and boost? Lack of abs and (no offense) crap perth drivers makes for interesting driving.......


My ute held 10psi all the way home from work... But never broke traction ;)

My car is factory but the previous owner decided cheap tyres were the best way forward lol

Mine has Michelin pilot sport 3, not much gets a spin to happen (could be the only 215 rwhp)and it has abs slotted rotors and coilovers so it handles very well emoji6.png

Factory fit bmw m cars, gd tyres!!

Depends on your torque curve. My turbo is very linear and power is smooth as boost builds giving 400@wheels and no slip.

The next model down makes 380ish but torque doubles over a 300rpm window making it prone to tyre frying

Just about to go to bed last night and the missus opened the garage

Bloody thing failed in a big way. Bent rails n wheels, spring loaded cable jumped off sprocket and it's jammed half way up. Was up til midnight but still couldn't get it down :(

    • Coming home late at night and driving past the police is the only reason i need one haha And yeh, definitley needs a switch to quickly enable it, dont have time to be getting my phone, opening an app, waiting for it to update etc before being able to make the change
    • Because it is financially convenient for them lol. Why wouldn't they want to give you the lowest possible valuation for your car?
    • Yep. @Duncan also shannons they will rip you dry and will be probably limited on how much you can drive. Also keep in mind that you always have to have it garaged with Shannons, with enthusiasts as per their PDS you can have it 2 times per week on the driveway for example. 
    • I had a generic 4" Varex rear box on my old V8, worked a treat for sneaking home late at night, it was as quite as stock when closed The car was "fairly" loud when open as it consisted of 1" 7/8 headers to 3" catted Y pipe, to 4" single, it did have a resonator in the mid pipe and only the Varex out the back I also hard wired in a Varex dash mount switch, as the key fob thing is a pain to use when driving I wouldn't recommend giving the beans when it is closed though as it creates a large restriction in the exhaust  It also can in very handy when pulled over for "random" breath tests or just cruising past the constabulary   
    • Here is the before and after of the scraping/sanding of the IC pads on the tachometer board for the fix mentioned in this thread. And yes it worked fine after. Just a note if you change any components on the board the tach calibration can be wrong showing the wrong idle etc...only problem is once it is installed back in the cluster you can't get to it to adjust...ouch! My fix was to cut out the calibration pot (the blue one) from the board and run it with two wires to the fuse panel under the dash where I could adjust the idle calibration once everything was installed. And yes I soldered everything up again including the half soldered components either side of the IC in my photos
