I have spoke to Extremeboost.com on my 3SGE + T engine if I decide to go ahead with my plans.

I am getting older now, more experience in my field and I am seeing myself save towards my land and house.

Either way, this may help you on getting your 3SGE up to spec.

Just a note here. You would be surprise how an a Good air filter, exhaust w/ 2.5" up to header + fuel enrichment+good racing plugs would have your car performing.

Try it and let me know what you think.

How the hell are you supposed to see out the back window with that spoiler?

As if the rear window wasnt hard enough to see anything out of in the first place.. More of a hatchback issue though.. :/

[Guest_Matthew_*]

look through the top and bottom

[iamblades]

With the size of a that wing, I'd imagine there isn't all that much 'top'.. hehehe

I'm just not wing-lover, IMO, unless you are racing a 150+ MPH dragster or a F1 car they are useless...

Most of them don't even look good, although that is opinion and I can't back it up

Well, everyone have there opinion.

The new wings I posted very resently, are very good and have low drag. Also use in JGTC.

Have better connering, stability and straigh line performance.

If you want a show car, thats your choice. If you was perf. + stability, thats your choice.

Shut to hell up and keep those opinions to yourself.

If you have some to contribute, offer it, but leave the lame word to some other thread.

This is a quote from Nitto site on a very new release tire.

http://www.nittotire.com

Competition Dot Radial

"The Nitto NT-555RII Extreme R road race and auto cross competition radial tire was developed through a unique fusion between a race circuit oriented stiff sidewall construction and the popular Nitto Drag Radial tread pattern. These features combined with the high traction, specially formulated soft racing tread compound resulted in a competition radial that exhibits impressive control and handling, to provide maximum traction under severe racing conditions. The Nitto NT-555RII is designed primarily for competition road racing. The sidewall construction is optimized for handling extreme lateral acceleration; vehicles may experience rougher riding when used for daily driving."'


Also, Michelin to my believe have a new tire also.
http://www.michelinman.com

Quote from TireRack:

"Developed for drivers who participate in autocross and track events, the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup is a DOT legal street competition radial that is designed to increase driving excitement by providing class winning traction and handling.

On the outside, the Pilot Sport Cup uses dual zone tread compounds with the outer shoulder compound optimized for dry handling and the inside shoulder compound focused on wet traction. These tread compounds are molded into a 6/32” deep asymmetric tread design that features a massive outer shoulder rib to further enhance steering response and cornering stability while circumferential grooves and independent tread blocks are used on the inner portion of the tread design to enhance damp track traction. Internally, the Pilot Sport Cup features two, full-width steel belts reinforced with Michelin’s Banded At Zero (BAZ) technology to stiffen the tread area to help prevent the contact area from distorting during aggressive acceleration, cornering and braking. The Pilot Sport Cup radial’s basic sidewall materials and architecture have been carried forward from Michelin’s Pilot Sport line of Max Performance tires.

Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires feature sidewall styling with subtle black letters. They are be available in selected 55-, 50-, 45-, 40-, 35- and 30-series, Y-speed rated sizes for 15", 16”, 17” and 18" wheel diameters."


http://www.goodyeartires.com/

The Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 also seems to be very well develop to take out the Bridgestone Potenza S03. This tire is getting very good reviews. But as always, the Potenza tires from bridgestone age with very little lost in grip.

Does Goodyear have that ability? There do not avertise it.

I do hope that Bridgestone comes with a new tire to compete again in the Max Performance tire arena

I was reading through the Super Street Magazine and came across this very good Gauge system.

To me, it is better that the Greddy, Apexi, HKS and Blitz.

The Gauge system that I am talking about is the Defi-Link System.

http://www.defi-shop.com/product/dl/dl_top.htm

This is a qote from there beautiful website.

"The Defi-Link system is a set of electronic gauges that can be mounted on the vehicle dashboard.

The design of this system allows each gauge to be attached to the control unit II with a single "DAISY CHAIN" wiring system.
Both meters and Control Unit II are equipped with microcomputers.. Distant meters can be operated at hand.

The system is also designed to allow all sensors to be attached to the control unit II, so that the gauges can be mounted separately without the need for multiple tubing or wiring to each gauge.

Available gauges are boost(for turbocharged and supercharged engines), intake manifold pressure(for natural aspirated engine), oil pressure, water temperature, oil temperature, fuel pressure, exhaust gas temperature and tachometer.

Driving data can be stored and can be replayed up to 3 minutes(*1). Pause, speed play, forward, and rewind function can be applied during playback.

Double Warning function by a meter's LED lamp and a beep(*2)

The switch panel is embossed and buzzer sounds by pushing the buttons.

The characters and the rings on the switch panel are illuminated in white at nighttime. It makes operation in the dark easy.

Defi-Link Indicator(sold separately) can be connected to M-WARNING connector. The indicator blinks when any of connected meters' warning LED light.

Differential pressure between fuel pressure and turbo can be shown if both of fuel pressure meter and turbo meter are installed.(*3)

UP to 7 gauges among from Defi-Link Meters and Defi-Link Meter BFs and Defi-Link Displays can be operated with one Control Unit II. Microcomputers are equipped with meters and Control Unit II. A distant meter can be operated at hand. DAISY CHAIN connection can not be applied to connect Defi-Link Meters and Defi-Link Meter BFs. Please refer to CONNECTION CAPACITY on the left.
"

If there are others out there that better this system, please dropped me a line.

Thanx

I just came across a tire from Japan to rival the Bridgestone Potenza RE01.

I must state that the RE01 have all of this technology from since 2000+

This new tire is the Yokoha Advan AD07

http://www.advan.com/product/f-set.html

I do not know if I stated this before, but there are only 2 tire rivals in Japan.

They are Yokohama Advan and Bridgestone Potenza

to bad i can't read japanese

[west_minist]

Here is the translation using http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/tr

Translation of the Details button for the AD07:






-Adding van * ネオバ * a D * zero NANA - pattern number: AD07 - steel belt radial - tubeless - tire for car

- High dry grip many the private compound which the harsh test repeatedly was developed new development tread pattern, actualizes the dry grip where the fighting う cAdvan is high.

-The high WET efficiency private compound pulled up also wet grip more, balance could point to dry & wet in the higher-order origin with the tuning of profile and structure.

-Not only the handling speed which makes the driver uplift, it pursues " the enjoyment which can send the car ". The NEOVA which designates the person whom it runs as that air traces the line which you aimed securely, grasps the road surface.

-This way furthermore in the customer - dry travelling efficiency and the wet travelling efficiency which are superior in the customer whom you seek at high level.

-In the customer who would like to be leveled up from the DNA GP.

Because the ADVAN NEOVA AD07 has adopted directivity pattern, the case of installing the rotation mark which is carved to the side wall () in order for everything to become identical direction, please adjust to direction of rotation of the tire, install.

Yesterday, I decided to change My 2 Front Toyo Proxes RA1 (185/13) to Bridgestone Potenza GIII 205/13

The RA1 is a racing tire and the GIII is a Sports Tire from Japan.

I cannot really compare the 2 models but I can tell you this, I love the GIII.

When it lets go, you can still feel grip and the noise is sweet. A grippy throaty sound. The toyo just feels like glass until grips takes over. This behaviour is the same on wet.

I have not drving it on the wet yet. But I can tell you for the little water that ran across the road, it handle it better that the RA1. I do not know if I had similar size if the GIII would be inferior.

You may ask why I change. Well when I brought the Bridgestone GR 50 S&S (185/13), I wanted more traction since this was a touring tire that had too much grip compare to the Toyo Proxes F08.

I then decided to get the racing tire from toyo since I could not get Bridgestone GIII (at the time), RE01, RE520S, RE540S from japan or sold here by the bridgestone dealer.

The toyo to me was 1.5 to almost 2 times better that the GR50. I would say 1.6-1.7x

So as you can see, the bridgestone GIII, no available here , would compete nicely with the RA1.

I contacted the delaler and he had 205 and not 185. My rim is very small and I took it to the dealer and he tried on the 205. It fit! . I decided 45mins before the dealer shut for the week, I wanted them.

I fits them and they had grip although oily.

My modify subaru revs to 6K rpm. I would rev to that on the RA1 and let go, the tires spins and pick up later. I rev the sub to 6K on the GIII and the tire spin for about less that one sec will the car bogs down to 3Krpm. That is bad. My ignition is coming next week and I will see if this here would still happen. I just cannot get the car to smoke the tires for a long time. Bad GIII's

Today, I love them. There now out breaking my Ra1's in the back.

To refresh you, in Japan, there is not racing tire like what the other manufacture have, except Yokohama.

Yokohama and Bridgestone produces tires up to the the Ultra Sport type. After that, real sports.

No half deads in between. See way above to what I am talking about.

Coming soon, Bridgestone Potenza RE55s

Thursday was the first time I drove on wet using my GIII's.

The grip is very good.

I have grew so a custom to breaking later and braking hard, that I have lost my sense of the RA1's.

What I can say that it feels like that RA1 will brake a little more, but when let lose, slides like glass.

When the GIII brakes lose, you can still feel grip and there is control.

The GIII has more aquaplaning ability than the RA1, but in this test, the road was just wet.

When I get a change, I will switch my RA1's to the front and put the GIII behind and see what happens.
