  1. Aodhan DS01 rims brought them via Cartel Aus. http://www.cartel-aus.com Contact Phil for a better price then is listed on the site. Got them out of the states. Thought these would of looked good too.. With the rear offset they poked 24mm out from the guards prior to pumping. These were the highest offset available, 10.5 in a 38 offset would sit just outside to the stock guards. Prior to guard work. Wanted 18" to get more side wall to increase grip.
  2. Agree they are noisy but it's always a compromise for the level of grip. To be honest will not put them on the fronts again that's were most of the noise is coming from. Have sound insulated the entire boot to rear seats which made a huge difference. The revised version (R888R) are a little hard to get atm, more availability in months to come. Review states improved mid-corner grip. http://toyotires.com.au/tyres/motorsport-tyres/item/1250-proxes-r888r Agree the larger the tyres footprint the better, the next size up will not work, will foal on the inner guards when she squats under load.
  3. Tried just about every quality tyre on my Ute (600kws). R888's are by far best, don't waste your money on anything else. Had 315 on it with a 10" rim. R888's even work great when cold and just get better when warm. Best I ever got was 12000km out of a set with most the time on full boost. If you nail the F6 in first (ZF) it will slightly let go, any other gears all good. No Spinning. 430rwks & over 1000NM
  4. Get 1 in every crowd... R888's are a massive tyre, 275 are equivalent to 295's in other makes. Do they look like they are stretched.. NO. They sit flush with the rims. With the offset the rears poked 24mm prior to guard rolling and now sit 1mm to flush. How these things squat under load any larger tyre will hit the in guards.. Riiiiight. Achieved what was desired, get it to hook up and look tuff.
  5. Rear guards pumped 25mm and a re-spray Aodhan DS01 rims in 18" 9.5+15 and 10.5+22 wrapped in 245/40 and 275/35 Toyo R888's

  7. Japan ?? on the piss already.. R888's are a massive tyre, 275 is equivalent to 295 of other makes. There is bugger all stretch on the 10.5, they sit flush with the rim.
  8. Rear guards pumped 25mm Aodhan DS01 rims in 18" 9.5+15 and 10.5+22
  9. Got the F6 Back the other day from getting the rear guards pumped 25mm and a re-spray. Kept the factory swift colour. Fitted up Aodhan DS01 rims in 18" 9.5+15 and 10.5+22 wrapped in 245/40 and 275/35 Toyo R888's quest to get traction !
  10. Will get them done when board for what it has now.. have to get a better fuel pump too, only running a 044 with Plazmaman Surge. After this the ZF will need some attention...
  11. Nar the Valve Springs were suffering..
  12. Ha-Ha thanks for the comments.. The wheels are Work Rims 19x8.5 Fronts with a 30mm Spacer and Rears 10" offset 35
  13. Sold the Ute then got a St Focus, Great Little Car ! and in between found this FG F6 Mii. Got it tuned by Dave (CPV Tuning) made 432Rwks and 1080Nm's on E85. 400 on Pump Valve float when turning it up to 455. Stock motor mods: Factory Turbo with porting + 12 psi Turbosmart actuator Plazmaman intake, cooler, fuel system + rail tog 4in zorst 1000cc bosh injectors Battery relocation Built Tail shaft Going to do coilovers and replace the NT05's on the rear with R888's and hopefully leave it alone. If the ZF fails will get the springs done too and turn it back up to around 460 Love the factory turbo compared to the GTX42 that was on the Ute. http://
  14. hi, price on shockworks for fg f6 sedan please del to QLD 4802, cheers chad

  15. Had to buy another car due to having our first baby and the Ute no good for the expanding family. BTW the Ute is F/Sale !! Culled the list down to 3 being Subaru WRX Sti Hatch (Motors are time bombs) and Mazda Mps3 (Dated interior and bad toque steer) so the St won. Would of loved to hold out and look at the new RS 4wd Focus or see what the 2016 Mazda Mps3 offers. The dream car would of been one of the Audi RS Hatch's. Was not into the Golf's with the new R offered no track setting to turn off all the electronics.
  16. Not Wrong Mate ! The addition Toque makes it want to spin rubber in 2nd @ 2100rpm. Makes for a fun drive around town with the nice 6 speed manual stretching it's legs on the highway. It will happily do 260+kmph with lots left. Talk about Hot Hatch. The standard fuel system is good for 550fwhp. Do a bigger Turbo, Exhaust, Clutch and Tune and your done.
  17. Love the New St Focus. Got SCT X4 Custom Tunes done by Torrie @ Unleashed in the States. Pick up 30% from Stock. Did a 15% Tint and Just added new rims being Yoshihara Design DY 37C 18x9 all round with 35 offset on standard ride height and rubber. Replace engine mounts to sort torque steer. Will leave it alone for now due to Baby Seat.
  18. Happy Birthday blow off!

  19. You lads are going nuts with this these XR6T's !!!! Really starting to miss the Ute (You Lads are having too much fun !!) due to still being in Thailand and what has been going on with it while over here....After the last round of tuning (Like 4 months ago) found once again some lose stuff around the waist gate, when thinking and feeling she was not just right. Found the problems and all sorted and rang Dave before taking off OS to make sure AFR's would be cool with extra boost, now felts like 540rwks on 24psi on pump and without the lag. Have been looking on with keen interest with fellow members on the head lifting problems regarding boost, got all the big head work, Studs, Cams and Copper gasket with the new 998R ATOMIC donk, what have you lads been boosting these to with these spec's. Did a sh*t load of looking into this regarding motor, turbo, box, stall and diff ratios. It will make what is does on the day but wanting to match the turbo to the motor and push 36+ PSI on Meth, that's my goal as a Dyno Bitch. Running it as a track Ute, well that's a different story. Got the sh*ts with the T400 problems and got Brinks In Townsville to build it good for 1500ph+ on 4000lb allowing big boost out of the 42 GTX Garrett. He changed the Trans brake set up too. Here is what's been done. Billet Steel rollerized fwd hub Griner 34G10 Billet Trans Brake Valve Body 300 maraging alloy Input shaft XL Aluminimum drum w/ 36 element sprag 5 disc Intermediate clutch stack Modified oiling & breather system 5 disc HP Waffle Red Direct stack Intermediate Case strut We have done some other mods to keep temps down in the engine bay with stuff like keeping fuel temps down with running all 4 044 pumps via boost, meaning the more boost the more pumps kick in. Before with running 2 pumps all the time within 20 minutes the fuel was near 70 deg, on PUMP. Methanol will be a happier story. Dave wants to tune it running on 98 first and then get into the meth. Looking forward to getting the right set up and having fun with it. Want to get the Ute down to Dave while I'm still over in Thailand for the next 3 months for him to get it to its full output
  20. Thanks for the support lads.. We have managed to get it running OK below 3000rpm on a 98 tune, but needs work and have run out of time. Dave has been great. Heading back over to the land of smiles on Tuesday for long time. Dave wacked 9 degrees into it and boosted to only 24psi and it made 470rwks before the Dyno packed it in. Leaving it with my mechanics to sort out the other issues and when return to our great land we will get straight back into tuning/running it down the strip, pending any failures... Cheers Gents and will keep current with what you mad F#ckers are doing with all these BOOSTED rigs.
  21. IN the process of finding a rated Dyno so it can be tuned. We had to take care of stuff like. 1. No brakes below 3000rpm due to the big cams and no brake boost pressure, booster pump installed and sorted. 2. Thermo fan sh*t it's self so new 1's installed. 3. Transmission - as been out 3 times with the bolts holding the adaptor plate, oil pump coming loose and dropping oil, opened up to max thread size with high tensal bolts which had been locktighted into place. Hope this is sorted !! 4. Atomic motor was running really hot, have a massive pwr radiator with new larger water pump and a new 71deg thermostat which made no difference but for some reason today with 1800kms on the new dong the temps have drop to normal, all prior to adjusting any afr's. ?? May be just a run in faze..did read on this forum a guy with the same motor has these issues. 5. Tuning with the 4+ cams has been a strong struggle due to throttle body failures and a hole heap of other general problems. New 1 installed and still have trouble, looking further into this. 6. After putting the boot into it and then off throttle boost/power is held for 3-5 seconds and the Ute still powers up and along....maybe a bigger blowoff valve ???, this is only with around 24psi and up. Glad it hads 6 pot Brembos and 4's on the rear, LOL. 7. The work involved with mounting up the new GTX42 has been lots, everything custom. This has been a realy big learning curve even after my last build on this Ute and others involved too. In my current frame of mine I would never do a build like this again due to the time involved, unknowens, costs, down time of the Ute and the small amount of stress,. I have been very lucky to have professional people to sort these issues, I just would of like to of knowen there was going to be sooooo many problems, spose we are all learning. I have to head back to Thailand for work soon for some time and am pushing like hell to get it sorted and have at least a little fun with it before pissing off. If anyone has any ideas to help speed up the FIX IT Process feel free to chip in, Cheers - Chad
  22. Got the new setup in the Ute and have had nothing but troubles... as we do with builds like these. Had a go at tuning it today and the Dyno Broke.... MMMMmmmmm
  23. Motor is in but the GTX42 pipe work is a hard task. Have to mod the dump and cut the air outlet of the turbo off due to it sitting about 3cms from the strut tower and then make up pipe work that fits this all together. We have to Tune it after all this and time has run out to rip into Mackay's Power Cruise this weekend, BUGGER !! Will not be tuning it for 6-7 weeks due to heading off for work Overseas.
  24. Go a T400 mate if you have over 600+. Mates with c4's have had problems.... shafts snap.
  25. Try Aussie Tyres web site. They have supplied heaps for rims/rubber for me and are cool to deal with.
