  1. Yeh 5-10,000 tops.. how many Km's did you get out of the 595's ^^^ and did they go loose halfway thru there life?
  2. I think some ppl are getting around 20,000kms out of a set maybe more..?
  3. The Achilles last longer but the invos are a far better tyre.
  4. Your blade bushes will be rooted too bud they always are
  5. It's an upper control arm bush marky
  6. You can change them with a press or a vice if need be, can be a bit of a 2 man operation if using a vice though. The bushes aren't expensive, swap'em out with the poly ones Call wholesale suspension at arndell park, Pat will get them over to ya
  7. FYI (doin a wiki haha) 1. (Blue curve) Factory wheels: 20”x9.0” with Pirelli 275/40-20 tires weighing 68 lbs combined per rear wheel. – Max hp: 371 hp, Max Torque: 375 ftlbs - (Baseline) 2. (Red curve) Aftermarket wheels: 20”x9.0” with Pirelli 275/40-20 tires weighing 72 lbs combined per rear wheel – Max hp: 369 hp, Max Torque: 373 ftlbs - (A [-] loss of 2 hp and 2 ftlbs) 3. (Green curve) HRE wheels: 20”x11.0” with Nitto 315/35-20 tires weighing 60 lbs combined per rear wheel – Max hp: 380hp, Max Torque: 384 ftlbs - (A [+] gain of 8 hp and 9 ftlbs and that is running a 2” wider wheel/tire combo) Conclusion: The engine obviously still cranks out the same amount of hp and torque, the lighter HREs simply waste less of it before it gets to the ground. Also interesting to note is that the gains are not just peak gains, but gains across the entire rev range. If they had done a braking test, we would have seen similar results as the rotational inertia effects also have a significant effect on how much energy is used to stop the wheel/tire combo vs. stopping the car. We talk about these effects all the time and focus on designing lightweight wheels with low rotational inertia, but it isn’t every day that you get to see real hard data showing the true effects.
  8. If I was chasing ever little bit light wheels would well out do the under drive IMO
  9. I kinda see it like putting lighter wheels on your car.. reducing rotating mass some what attached to the crank. Could it be that simple?
  10. I've found the 1's are gr8 for the 1st 6-8000kms but get pretty slippery after that... probly why they have lasted so long. The invos turned to slicks as the 1's are about 1/3 thru. Ill be up for the 2's next as you said hopefully there as good or betta than the 1's. Excellent value for money with the Achilles.
  11. Ask Joe You would have to adjust your cold side I think but by the sounds it's up for a change anyway. Pretty sure they cost about the same or maybe cheaper I would imagine
  12. Go the big nizpro dude hands down winner
  13. Same size as mine though it goes 3" from the headlight. Could be your cooler?? Mine started to fall over after 17lb too
  14. Those aeroflow fuel rails are sh*t.. Seen 2 car try to use them, both had pita fuel leaks that gave kn'headaches. It's one of those times you'd love to meet the genius who built it and clobber them over the head with the pos.
  15. We will set one up once toms is done too.. I need some new rubber woody so you'll be fine for now haha Mines a bit stoopid at the moment I can't even fart near the throttle without loosing traction no matter the speed. It's fun just not fast
  16. True I think we thought we had everyone accounted for.. sorry you missed us bud. If only you had of looked the other way when we drove past haha Tbh the conditions were poor anyway by the time we got there, sh*t all over the road and too cold and windy up top to keep a bonnet up. Noted though. stick to the game plan
