  1. Racebred splitter kit (non-US) issues

    Hi all, Just thought I'd find out if anyone else here has bought the Racebred splitter kit and tried to install on a non-US FK8? At great expense I had one shipped only to have my tune shop advise the kit doesn't suit Australian FK8s. The crashbeam and other front end parts don't align with...
  2. Strange creaking noise of front suspension?

    I've been searching this for a while and am in the same boat. Very noticeable when parking and reversing slowly, huge creaking noises from the front, definitely audible when even slightly turning the wheel at slow speeds. Having my workshop do a full nut & bolt check as well as giving everything...
  3. 18 x 9.5 +35 with 265/35/18..... Not enough offset for a track set up?

    I run the RAYS 57Xtreme Spec-D for my track days 18 x 9.5 +38 with 255/40/18s Front and rear camber on HKS coils I've stiffened the rears to almost max to stop rubbing under load but otherwise I drive the car daily with 19s, very minimal rubbing.
  4. Quik Latch Bumper mod?

    Will do. My setup will differ as I won't be permanently mounting my splitter. It will be used to install/remove on track only as some of our roads here in Australia aren't forgiving enough! So my guys will be working on a quick-release system for the bumper that allows me to get the splitter...
  5. Quik Latch Bumper mod?

    Thanks for this, super helpful as I'm about to have something similar done to mine.
  6. [AUS] - OTYPER Intro and Build

    So the latest update is we haven't been able to have any track days for months due to lockdown here in Melbourne, however the upgrades and preparation continues. Recent work includes: - A custom setup of the Radium twin catch can - Mishimoto turbo blanket - Js Racing grille
  7. b2point0h's track build & fast lap videos

    Ahh thanks for the quick response. Given the cost for me to get it to Australia will be insane I'd be terrified of leaving it on all the time! Thanks for confirming the quick release mechanism etc. And again, love love your car :) Cheers

    Hey Brandon, very sweet setup! I'm in Australia and in touch with Racebred regarding the front splitter kit. Just to confirm do you remove yours with the quick release kit when not racing etc? It looks to be one of the best kits out there but just wanna make sure it's easily removed when not...
  9. Track specific Wheel/Tire setup

    Running RAYS 57Xtreme Spec-D 18x9.5 with A050s (255/40/18) :)
  10. Wheel noob 255/40/18 on a 18 x 9.5 + 38 wheel fit?

    I run 255/40/18 on for my track setup RAYS 57 XTreme Spec-D with Advan A050s and HKS Coils Rubs like a mofo under heavy load but on stock you should be fine.
  11. [AUS] - OTYPER Intro and Build

    Yeah I wouldn't say my car suffers from heat issues. Australia doesn't seem to have the same crazy conditions a lot of the US folks see on track. Vented hood and larger i/c, oil cooler etc do the job pretty well. My last track outing I was doing 4-5 hot laps in a row without suffering a...

  15. Looking for a stiffer tire than PS4S for the street

    For me hard to say, I haven't gone on long/spirited drives with the AD08s yet... just a track day. Never tracked with the stock Conti's !
  16. Looking for a stiffer tire than PS4S for the street

    I went from the factory 20's to 19's with PS4S, now on AD08Rs Definitely a stiffer sidewall on the AD08Rs as they are more track focused compound for a daily.
  17. Looking for a stiffer tire than PS4S for the street

    You can try the Yokohama Advan AD08R as a street tyre with a much stiffer sidewall. I'm running them as daily now, they take longer to heat up but their grip is awesome, very good feel etc.
  18. [AUS] - OTYPER Intro and Build

    WET Track day! In what was supposed to be an awesome sunny day to try out the new Advan AD08Rs, turned out to be completely soaked! In hindsight this turned out to be a fantastic day behind the wheel to further develop my driving skills and get familiar with driving at speed, in the rain...
