Picked up a different set of wheels for the GC8, Rays gram lights 16*7 +46. At what point am I supposed to admit I have a problem? ....I need to sell a set.

I can see you have a problem

The first step is admitting you have a problem, the second is making sure you take away anything that will remind you of your problem. So on your behalf I will greatly accept your gift of these wheels - only to help you out of course, just let me know when I can pick them up.

In times like these we have to band together, as we all share the same addiction, we need to help each other, by selling me your v7 wheels :P:P:P

That's like me, I have 4 sets of first gen RS wheels now I think...

 

Yesterday I finally pulled down the engine that I seized mid stage a month or so back, I found a hole in the block, and this.

Yes, that's the top of the piston completely split off....

Turns out it was a closed deck block too, RIP... New build time!

I think that's the definition of failure.

I've got another engine arriving some time this week which I'll strip down and rebuild. I've already got a set of CP forged pistons for it!

 

Doesn't everyone need a spare engine beside the spare wheels?

I'm actually unsure, it all happened quite quickly. 
Although it kept running, albeit with no power at all, right up until I shut the engine off when the oil light came on.

Tried Dragons breath today, pretty happy with results, not much elbow grease required, rims that had the product on the longest came up the best, so do the full 10mins if they are stubborn with using other products, looks like it melts the brake/road stains off the paint. interesting product.

 

Will have a set of RE002s for sale in a week or 2, they are 225/45/17 

Will also have 2 Spare v7 wheels which ill be selling seperately for people who want a full size rim in the boot instead of the space saver

The set I currently have on the RS has 1 Bent wheel and 1 wheel with abit more curbing on it than I like.

So when I get the RS back ill be using the best 5, swapping my D2 Semi Slicks onto them so ive got a semi slick on the spare in the boot aswell :P 

 

Oh and cheers for the wheels @4G63B8 ^_ ^

 Cars remind me of some philosophy: "When an egg is broken from the outside, death. When an egg is broken from the inside, life."  (Sadly wallets aren't as tough)

Let there be life! :D

nice one @THUNDA I use meguiars hot wheels which is probably the cheaper choice but ive got to really get in there with the water blaster to take the road sludge off. Just out of interest are your tires directional? 

 

Not sure sorry, the ones I'll be selling are Bridgestone RE002s, 2have good tread, other 2 have good tread but inner edges are worn, probably best for someone wanting some good track tyres without forking out for new ones, will do a deal for cs members when I sell them

Those sti genome exhausts worth it? What sort of noise level would I expect on my wagon?

Subjective but yes imo they sounds great on wrx's and are near perfect for a daily driven car; don't drone, nice note, awesome quality, STi part (if that's your thing). They're definitely not the loudest exhaust out there though if that's what you're after.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
