  1. Heat affects them hugely. Mine pulls soooo much power back when it's over about 30 degrees. At 40 degrees I don't even bother driving hard it's that slow plus it's probably terrible for the car in general. At 40 degrees I can have my foot flat in any gear and keep traction (have semi slicks though which would be nice and sticky cos of the heat). At 20 degrees or less it will just spin through first and second with flat foot Having a bigger intercooler does help I notice a bit of power comes back if I go for a drive at 100kmh or whatever on freeway and get heaps of air through the cooler but slow speeds it stays hot. Didn't notice that with the stock cooler, when it was hot it was slow and didn't get power back until the outside temperature dropped.
  2. Do you put the handbrake on after spirited driving? Apparently that can cause the rears to warp if the discs are still hot. I must be long overdue for new rotors 117,000km not sure if they were changed before me purchasing it or not
  3. Good? The nt05r were pretty good when I tried em. Couldn't get em to properly spin unless on the brake.
  4. I'm more worried about her half face. Only ever has half a face in the pic. half woman half cyborg?
  5. Best thing about that show is how they all say "I don't know" Ai dawnt knawww
  6. Good show. I still havent decided whether he did it or not. Apparently quite a bit of evidence was omitted from the show that didn't look good for old mate..
  7. I'm out that day :( good luck. You can get an approved helmet on ebay for 60 bucks. Don't forget to turn tc off for the burnout [emoji14]
  8. Man that's like 2 or 3 grand right there to fix that bumper and the whatever else he broke. Awesome but f*ck that haha. Can't imagine the amount of rubber that's stuck to the car after that as well, post drags rubber is bad enough.
  9. Just use a multimeter to test? Test continuity to chassis to find the earth... and DC voltage to find trigger/power feed..
  10. A normal person with your budget would be smashing the tits off the thing by now sh*ttest thread ever Bans
  11. I raced one and it wasn't toooo much slower than my car was stock. Might have had a fair few mods... big cannon muffler as per usual..
  12. Looks wicked imo. Love that dark silver colour.. hopefully not just photoshop trickery
  13. Yeh I didn't even notice that. That man knows how to mechanic Wmmfgt found American cheese for burgers tonight....been looking for it for ages..yeeeeah
  14. Yeah righto I thought it was just a test the primary and secondary sides with a multimeter and compare ohm readings to new coils type of deal. Obviously doesn't work well
  15. Read the mag it says 576nm torque fg was 565
  16. Thought I read you could test resistance of the coils? Does it not often shown up faults?
  17. I'm guessing 13 flat/0.5s slower than whatever the equivalently powered Expensive Daewoo pulls.. just a hunch
  18. Yeah but these guys drive cars for a living right. I find it very hard to believe they couldn't pedal a 500kw car better than a 13 when their actual job is to test drive cars.. mags etc are always so biased against ford 1/4 mile times it's bullsh*t
  19. Can't open wa spotted and chit chat thread. I feel this is a personal attack cos I didn't donate. How am I supposed to live my life like this?
  20. 13 second quarter mile for the xr8... who drove it, Nanna? Come on
  21. Super noisy the track ones too... sounds like a train pulling up. I wouldn't like that on the street but some might find it bearable
  22. If I'm here (will be at this stage) I'm all over it
