What have you done to your car today?

[paulngui]

And fair enough!! Oh awesome, thanks for the info Yeah I agree that the smoked look by far the best. Good to know too about the indicators.

Horns look sweet, good sound from them? I quite like the sound of the factory ones as they are; nice and assertive sounding haha.

[DacerX]

still prefer factory ones, but then i have the sedan and they would look weird

[B4 I was 250T]

Hold on one second! SAS? That\'s not submarine auto spares is it?

[Codex]

[B4 I was 250T]

Got my wheel alignment yesterday after raising the car up 20mm and fitting higher profile tyres, I lost some negative camber but I now actually have some droop on the rear lateral links which definately helps the handling.

Now sitting at -1.2* in the front which is the high end of factory settings. my camber is all screwy in the back even though it used to be dead even, but the alignment guys I used didn\'t even want to loosen the rear strut bolts, hell they only used one spanner to do the tie rod end nuts up which causes the settings to change while you tighten them up so he had about 3 goes to tighten themand get them sitting in the right spot. If you use one on the nut and one on the tie rod end itself it tightens without adjusting every time.

I find it astounding how half assed people can be, most people would spot these things so I guess they get away with it.

dont you hate it when you get to this point then realise the thread is rooted on the guard roller and you cant apply any pressure

Oh well close enough so I wont chew my tyres out

[clintondane]

Had 4 new Eagle F1 Directional 5 tyres fitted while in Christchurch. Too good a price to say no. Have only driven from chch to methven with them so far and love them.

[Stoffa]

are they a asymetrical ones? or with the "V" pattern? I just swapped from the V pattern ones to RE001\'s and love them

[clintondane]

Um, V? i think? They\'re the ones that replaced the old GSD3\'s.

Thses are the ones I had fitted.

[Stoffa]

sweet, mine were GSD3\'s great tyre but pretty noisey

[clintondane]

These aren\'t as noisy as the Yokohama A Drive R1\'s I had a while back which is a good thing. The last set of tyres I had were Dunloip Le mans LM703\'s and they were good but wore incredibly quickly. They were worn so badly I knew I\'d never pass a warrant with them. Funny thing is as bald as they were I knew exactly when I was at the limit on them. These new tyres seem to tramline a little but that could just be me and the fact I haven\'t had NEW tyres for so long. Either way they\'re grippy as hell.

I have the F1 D5 on my legacy and they are awesome tyres. They are alot nicer then the re050a I had before them.

[Roo]

Did a quarter mile run or 5.

Running consistent 13.4\'s. On par with a Stripped ~280whp SR20DET AE85

And well below 99% of the V8 class. Was very much an import dominated day despite our small numbers.

Had the bee*r set a touch high I think, best time was a 13.41 which was with it set 500rpm lower than I originally had it, wondering now if another 500rpm down might have cracked the 13.39 lol it\'s all I wanted.

Got other pics/vids but upload speed is so terrible for videos it won\'t be til later that I post them.

Good to see someone else has these tyres and likes them. Drove home from Ashurton today in the rain and was so good to have confidence in the corners in the wet.

Is that 67mph trap speed?

Nah I went and complained to them because by the end of the run I was doing 180, but it turns out it\'s the average speed for the run. Pretty useless I would have preferred a trap speed lol

Couple of pics in line
