The Best Two Things I Have Done This Week

First, when i bought the DC2R i am driving at the moment, it had these shitty 195 no name "sava" brand tyres on the front.
The back was clad with 205 yoki ES100's, which are quite good!
Failing finding another set of the ES100's, as they have been discotinued from their range, i have been driving for about 6 months on these solid compound pieces of junk!
Anyway, invested in a set of MAXXIS Victra MAZ1's today, 205's all round.
Nothing short of the most impressive tires i have ever had on a car!!
Going form my previous car, EG civic, having MAXXIS 195's on the front only, the lifespan is pretty good for a silica compound tire such as this.
I would strongly recommend these to anyone who is in the market for some new street tires at the moment!

Secondly, my 1st to second gear synchro is a little worse for wear, doesn't really like being thrown at 8000rpm anymore! Anyway, tried this "Redline" gearbox oil in it and absolutely amazing, it's like a brand new gearbox, i can't crunch it if I try! 100 odd bucks later though, but worth every cent, as i would assume it is going to delay an inevitable gear box rebuild sometime down the track!

also just put new tires on today altho 195's
car feels freaking fantastic and invincible hehe !!!
DC2R FTW!!!

Awesome man, what you get?

Just curious where you bought the Redline from and how many litres did you get for $100?Thanks for any info :)

for manual... its a red bottle now .. used to be clear and mtf is blue

its called lightweight shockproof (red bottle, blue fluid)

why not use the mtf? thought they are the recommended ones for normal manual honda?

Been a week now. Do you still have no crunching? Mine stops crunching for a day or two no matter what oil I put in there.

How much did you pay for the tyres?

I thought redline was bad gearbox oil for hondas?!
Can't remember where I have heard it though, I think it might have been on CRSX.com
