So what were the tyres that came in at 2,3,4 etc. There is no doubt the Michelin's are top stuff but I would be interested to know what else is good.

Seems like a good idea to me. Should make more hp due to the ethanol in the fuel but probably wont get as many k's from a tank. Will be interesting the price per litre they'll be charging.

That's some crazy driving in that much traffic. But I suppose when you've got a car with that much ability it would make it easier. The RS4 seems to pull away quite easily and the M5 doesn't really sound like it's getting drivin hard enough. I'd imagine it would be hard to keep up with a smaller 4wd like the RS4 though.

There are so many things that could be done and many different companies/brands to choose from. Like what's been said your best opting for something that can be transfered to the next car. I'd suggest Typhoon second cold air intake, 4" SMB dump pipe and cat and the edit would be great to take full advantage of what the T has to offer. Not sure whether the edit will work on the new BF though. There's so much more that can be done but that would be good to get you started.

You'll have to get use to the squeeling thing because that's just what you get with performance pads. You might find the pads on the rear may take a little while to bed in and wear to the rotor so they may seem like they are only biting on half the disk. I had the same thoughts when I installed my rotors and ferodo pads.

Thornton, Is that going to be at RX Engineering? I would be very keen to come and have a look.

I was determined to figure this one out. It helps to have a piece of paper to scribble on. I got it on my second go with about 9 minutes left.

Definately looks better than the rusty ones under my bonnet. They might be just on the motor show cars to hide the rust.

Great post ENVY-T I haven't seen this before and it was good to see the results. Looks like the ethenol 98 blend is the winner for Kilowatts but it's ability to provide economy is it's down fall.

Never thought they'd look good on an XR but they are quite alright.

I think these might be what your after 504SR and SL. I have them on my car with Ferodo pads.

I can't imagine them going that great seeing it weighs over 1600kgs and only has 190kw. Wouldn't be far ahead of an N/A BA.

Simply awesome. Would love to see some more photo's.

I'm not convinced this is real. In Australia fixed speed cameras use sensors in the road to calculate a vehicles speed. This car isn't even touching the road so I doubt the ability of the camera to register the cars speed. Unless it was malfunctioning.

It's looks like an obviously modified version of the 1G GTE that came out of the very early Supra's. I wouldn't say that they were a real power house.

That's a bite from a Brown Recluse/Fiddleback Spider. Common to the the central parts of USA. Not all people have as bad a reation as this one. This is a rare case.

So your saying the cruise control wont set when you have your lights on? If the cruise control is set, then when you place your foot on the brake your setting is cancelled. Maybe it senses the current draw in the light circuit to know the brake has been applied. Just a quick guess.

Awesome stuff. The car is looking and sounding really tough. Nine's are just around the corner.

that's pretty interesting, would never have guessed a single was better <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Big single isn't better. This discussuion has been had before. Most of the drag GTR's do opt for a big single but after that they then step up to even bigger twins, something along the lines of twin 3035's. Two are always going to flow more than a single. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well it was what I was advised and considering my car is the fastest with a basic setup I think HPF should know what they were talking about <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There is no doubt that HPF know what they are doing and your car is the fastest. I was simple stating the fact that big twins are going to flow more than a big single. I'm not saying what your doing with your car is wrong because it's working extremely well.

That has got to be one of the steepest power curves I've seen in a while.

So lets line him up <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Mmm would be a good race to watch.

I usually go every year to watch friends race but I'm unsure yet whether I'll go this year. It's always a good event with some extremely fast cars (not just fours and rotary's) but it's usually quite hot.

We have an S15 locally that ran a 10.4sec quarter and is driven regularly on the street. They aren't a car to be laughed at and are well balance for spirited driving.

Yes these air intake snorkels are exactly the same. The one with the Tickford logo will porbably be off an AU XR8 and it will fit the BA no problem at all.
