Thanks Guys - that is the way I'd like to go -but the local suppliers don't have anything listed - or are you talking B14's or those flash ones that were on yozzasport PSS10's was it?
Hi all, I am going to be turning my Ph2 172 into a tarmac rally car over the next year or so, and the first thing that needs doing are the shocks.
Currently I am running Eibach Prolines on the standard shocks which have now done 90,000kms and I can feel the damping is not as good as it was. No...
Nice chaps, this is the kind of talk I like.
I'm currently running 1.5 camber with neutral toe - which is probably part of the issue, I have also since found out that the tyre pressures I was running were on the low side. Tyres are completely new to me, and they work quite differently to my old...
Thanks All,
I know it will never be as fast, I would just like a bit more composure entry and mid corner. Mine is much more fun and responsive throttle wise, and the meg does not actually pull on the Clio - I can achive peak speed within 5km/h - and given the drive out of the corners the Meg...
Had a track day recently and drove a mates F1 with an LSD - and was instantly 5 seconds a lap quicker. 1:22 vs 1:27
Now I realise that it has more power and the tyres and LSD makes a bit of difference too, however it was simply more composed through corners and direction changes than my...
Here's another reveiw and summary in english with video in Japanese - still very entertaining http://my350z.com/forum/wheels-and-tires/417894-toyo-r1r-vs-yokohama-neova-vs-bridgestone-potenza-re11-vs-dunlop-direzza-z1-star-spec.html
You guys don't get the bridgestone RE-11's over there? Comparable and I believe better than the R1R and Dunlop start spec.
Initially has good comments over here and it's what I'm looking at next so it can still handle standing water rather than slapping R888's on and surprising the wife when...
Henk fills in the holes in the factory mapping which are there from both the inlet design and also emissions.
If you have used the RS tuner dynbo before and after it is REALLY obvious what is going on. Sorry no logs on the is computer.
Well I've just purchased some pro lines - but I have been running camber bolts for the last 4 months on standard 172 suspension - and oh what a difference that made to turn in! It also reduced the initial body roll (before the car starts actually turning). I started out at 1 deg but have upped...
Well when I tried to match from samples for a new steering wheel trim it was actaully a BLUE of some kind! Not sure if there is an exact colour coding system for leather? Or should that be faux-leather......
Rest of world only got 15" wheels on ph2 172's
For looks I would like to go bigger, but we shall see. I'm more into the sleeper look anyways.
Besides it just depends what side you are on if they look too small or not :D
After being to several different dynos, I can honestly say that with the right numbers for weight and a good flat road in calm conditions the PA is way, way more acurate than any dyno.
Even dyno operators( the good ones) will say that they are a tuning tool to compare before and after - the...
LOL read my mind Pepsi.
My car is iceburg, and they are actually ET38 not 40. So it is the exact offset I want - too bad they aren't 7" though
The guy selling them tried to polish off the red on one of the wheels (not pictured) so it really has devalued them as they need work right off -...
They are 4x100 - wouldn't be looking otherwise.
I know I have to bore them out - it was in my OT.
Just unsure if they will clear the brake calipers. I have 15's on at the moment (NZ did not get 16" till the 182) that are 48.8 offset so these will give me a slightly wider track which is what...
I can possibly get a set for cheap as they need refinishing.
15 x 6.5 ET40
I will need to get the ceter bore made larger but that is no problem.
Unfortunately they are a 4-5hr drive away so I cannot test fit them :-S
Any one know if they will clear the calipers?
If you are confident using a laptop - I would recommend fastchip.
Otherwise go see RS Tuning.
Both offer std and custom mapping - I would say they are both just as skilled.
For me on the other side of the world it was a no brainer - and Henk ended up doing a semi custom map for me -...
