Running Bridgestone RE003 right now, very nice tyre. Quiet too. Had Conti's before which were firmer and less grippy in the wet, and super noisey too. I would recommend Bridgestone RE003, was by 3...
18.5kg, wow that's a heavy bugger. Most ECU will have a limit to the amount of amps the engine pulls anyways, so in theory, a 730CCA battery won't start the car any better than a 430CCA one. Have you...
Just as an update. Changed from Conti Sport Contact 3 to Bridgestone RE003 and there is a world of difference in terms of road/tyre noise. With the CSC3, I couldn't even notice wind noise at 80km/h,...
I'm using Tein H Tech springs. What I found with Tein springs is they lower the rear more than the front, which was desirable for me as I found that at stock, the gap at the rear and the gap at the...
All those above are pretty good units. I personally would go for the F1 Asym 2. For the price, they're hard to beat, assuming you got quoted less for them than the rest (which you should have).
If your driving everyday, then any old Synthetic oil is good. It's better to do more regular changes than to buy a good oil and keeping it in there for prolonged periods. Castrol Edge is a great oil...

Perhaps they decided to up the "tolerance" because these days they use 0w20 to help improve fuel consumption, as the current crop of engines are over a decade old.
Haha, you look like your pretty set anyways. From memory, BC coilovers are the same as the ones Pedders use/sell. Not saying they're bad, but they're nothing spectacular. A set of Tein Street Basics...
Not that I know of, most people either keep the stocked exhuast stocked (because the stocked exhuast is fairly free flowing even with the resonators, the only real restriction on it is the cat...
Don't forget that your engine also has a fuel reserve, which holds a few ltrs or so, just incase the pump dies or something. So when you chucked that 23lt in on a near empty fuel tank, it wasn't...
More like, it's better to check ATF often under normal circumstances. In OP's case though, if you image a gearbox designed to hold say 9L, the gears themselves will hold 5L and the sump will hold 4L....
Auto? It usually is because of low transmission fluid. The gearbox itself holds more gears than the sump does. So if the sump is empty, and the gears low, then when you top up the sump, overall,...
Not really. I have a torque wrench, but unless it's for something specific or very important, I don't bother with it. In general, I have tight, v.tight and f.tight. Anything small, like 8-10mm will...
Yeah, the CST are a great coil. The reason they arn't popular is because of their price. Tein alone has half a dozen coils that fit the CL9 but are cheaper. And those who want to pay a premium...
I've got 8.5 and am running 225/40/18 and there's a tiny bit of stretch, but I prefer it. You can use 235/40R18 and it'll be a bit bigger than OEM, meaning you'll be moving faster than what your...
HID are a bad idea for fog lights. There are 2 reason for this:
1. HID are much brighter than your halogen bulbs, and fog lights are designed for a wide but short throw. By putting HID in to your...
So that's what it was. I read about that, but the version I heard was that Castrol was taken to court for advertising group 3 oils/semi synthetic oils as straight "synthetic". And because of that,...
