Re: Tyre longevity
A friend has the same spec Outback with Bridgestone Turanzas on it and is really happy with them.

Re: What did you do to your car today?
Went to another track day at Hampton Downs club circuit. So fun. So wet in the morning. I had a high speed spin into the grass at the exit of turn 3. Luckily no damage. An R35 GTR hit the wall
Here is some video, not too exciting, I didn't have the camera running for my spin or the GTR crash. m

Re: Tyre flavors
Another vote for RE003, they work brilliantly on the road, and are good on track too. I've got a set on each of my cars, and so do a lot of friends on theirs. Massive performance per dollar.
One thing to consider is they are louder than Turanzas.

Re: What did you do to your car today?
Finally swapped out my horrible double DIN 90s relic cassette player for... the cheapest head unit supercheap had. If I can plug in my phone I'm happy!
Now I just need some sort of DIN sized panel to mount my boost gauge and RSM tidily.

Re: 4AGE Silvertop driveshaft - AE101 Levin
Driveshafts with CVs should be a reasonable price from Toyota too, I vaguely remember them being sold at a fixed trade price for passenger cars way back when I worked at a dealership.

Re: What did you do to your car today?
On Sunday I went to a proper track day. This was the Introduction to Motorsport event at Hampton Downs Club Circuit. The circuit is a tight 1.2km with lovely new tarmac and massive runoff areas. It's great for road cars as the brakes won't be destroyed on a few high speed breaking zones.

Re: What did you do to your car today?
Not today, but this month - I got some factory FD wheels, sold the 17"s, and fitted some lovely new Potenza RE003 in the stock 225/50R16 size.
That looks really good with the factory wheels. The 17s look nice too if that's them in the background?
You'll love the RE003s. Plenty of grip all round ...

Re: What did you do to your car today?
You missed Caldina GT Four, they seem pretty roomy, and 3SGTE walks all over L3 motor.
Yeah, did consider those. The 1st gen ones all seem to be modded and worn out, and the 2nd gen is expensive. Also the boot isn't huge and with turbo and 4wd too expensive to run.

After 3 years in England, using trains and rental cars, I've moved back to NZ and bought an adventure wagon!

Tom's Turbo Garage is pretty good. Extremely geeky, with really high quality builds. The latest series is 13 episodes of putting a 500hp V8 in an MX5 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... JZ38lKFKI9

Re: Talk some sense into me - Mazda RX8
only downside im aware of and the reason my mate got rid of rx8 is that when u start it cold and turn it off before its warm it will flood and near impossible to start again unless ur battery can turn it over for 5-10minutes, i reckon that is the stupidest thing a 'new' car can do and would ...
