  1. nexen is korean not quite as bad as chinese tyres ps choice as a control tyre is no guaranteed indicator of good performance, way back in the early days of the nz production car championship they chose the awful goodyear gs-d3 as a control tyre. it was gone next season.
  2. yep. advice i got from seasoned manfeild pros was to use a higher gear than usual when cornering.
  3. selling direct on tardme annoyed some dealers, then there were no dealers. chris is happy flying model helicopters now but will still support his old products.
  4. nice. which model do you have ? petite performa 2 + mass here did you know image has changed hands ? image founder chris ball sold the company as a going concern to a guy called arnold paik, who has revised/borked the website with some distinctly non-image designs.
  5. morel make some very good car speakers and also raw drivers for diy. forget wooden cones, you can even get their carbon fibre/rohacell tech (got them in my home speakers and they are the bees knees) israeli company
  6. lol the current focus rs is about to undergo a recall for duff head gaskets. a problem they had with the first sierra cosworths back in the 80s. seriously, an old subaru is like a tractor compared to the latest hot hatches.
  7. what a load of nonsense. honda doesn't spend big dollars at the mag, nor do many of the other car brands. the mag is now owned by bauer and does run overseas sourced stories but the majority of content is local/australian.
  8. to be strictly accurate it's not a ford engine but designed by achates power and may also appear in a chevrolet ! http://gmauthority.com/blog/2018/01/2019-silverado-1500-to-use-2-7l-opposed-piston-engine-get-37-mpg/ will fans buy them ? they are resistant to anything with less than 8 cylinders. look at the dismal sales of the falcon turbo 4, mustang v6, camaro v6 this really is the golden age of the combustion engine. along with the achates, innovative tech like the nissan variable compression and mazda's compression ignition petrol engines will keep petrol alive. stuff your hybrids and ev's, it's a great time to be burning petrol !
  9. it's only a matter of time. subaru nz are barely selling a handful of new sti's each year, biggest seller is the auto wrx.
  10. "supreme 98" ? never heard of that branding before
  11. michelin make great tyres. michelin nz currently have a buy 1, get 1 for 1/2 price promo until the end of december. includes super sport, pilot sport 4 and pilot sport cup 2 ! http://media.michelinman.com/content/dam/tca2/michelin/NZ/Promotion/2017/NOV-DEC 2017 - Light Truck/Buy 1 Get 1 Nov-Dec_WEB LIST%2BTERMSR.pdf
  12. ye of short memory... remember the last wrx concept and what we eventually got ? concept reality
  13. a few soobs this year, competing and on tour. the new levorg seemed popular, there were 3-4 toruing and official cars.
  14. perfect for a goodyear this will turn a $150 tyre into a $50 tyre
  15. hilarious. unless that's a calibrated speedo - unlikely it will have between +5-10% error giving a range of 243-257km/h bye young dude !
  16. you can get those bbs in both flavours. looks good on the wagon. you guys are so mean. back in the original post he was cruising at 260kw not 260km/h - which is a physical impossibility for a grb sti.
  17. +1 and decent tyres, an important and oft neglected part in the braking equation.
