I went with conti DWS06. 235/40/18 on my 18x8.5 wheels. We will see how this plays out. I'm definitely not expecting to hook 1st or 2nd. My "extreme DW" summer tires didn't. But anything will be better than these kumho bricks that came on the car

Most of you probably have a dedicated summer set up. I used to. But it's time for new tires (summer set was killed by a pot hole, my all season set that came on the car are reaching the end). For various reasons, I'm not going to spend on 2 sets of MS3 tires this year. So I've decided I will get...

I would like to see some good data of before vs after. Like a few datalogs/v dynos on the same stretch of road in around the same ambeint conditions before and after the clean. May not be useful since every car has a different amount of gunk and is making a different amount of power, but I'm...

I put ebc blank rotors and yellow pads on mine. They're good for dd. Less dust than stock, but there is or used to be an intermittent squeal at light brake loads. This could be because I did not follow EBC's break in procedure as I tossed them on and was convinced to do an autox a few days later.

Love that wooden knob. I had @Maisonvi make me one out of maple a while ago. Its held up great.

The CS is a bit smaller but its perfectly fine for the K04. It may or may not be the best for a bigger turbo. So yeah of the money is right, its better than nothing and used ic's seem to sell well

I make over 350 whp on the ets tmic with a Corksport turbo (which is less efficient than the turbos Vash has used) and e30. The stock downpipe appears to be the bottleneck at this point. Justin @ freektune said his highest hp k04 cars used a tmic in a q&a the other day. Dale Gribble did a...

Oooo I like that top color

I like the boost curve at 5500

whalecum. start with a compression test too. Does it run?

Forgive my ignorance... But I dont see how the vvt actuator failing causes a stretched chain or jumping teeth. Can someone explain the mechanism pls? I wouldn't think the actuator is eccentric, but maybe it is?

what manifolds? You're going to max it on stock fuel system first, right?

Well that's cool as he'll and innovative

How does this "spool" compared to the cst4 and cst5? Does the ball bearing make a big difference? Looking forward to results

Yeah is gumout safer for unsuspecting computer monitors?

@JohnnyTightlips had his grenade without any real warning

did you get a hardware kit too or just going to re-use the oem? The chinese fairings seem to do well. They take some monkeying with to get everything to fit, but end up looking good. I have seen some with spider cracks where it gets hot tho, not sure how to prevent that besides lining the...

always nice to see what the turbo can do on the stock block/stock fuel system. looking forward to it.

stock block cst5, eh? In for results!

Rule out the exhaust banging something?
