I've looked, but never purchased. This was the first pad that wasn't a PMU I've run on this car.

@@rhysrhysrhys another vote for Winmax W6.5s from me, and if you're feeling rich then PFCs (01 or 11) are even better.

That is a reasonable number of days. How do you like driving with the pad?

@@rhysrhysrhys Quite enjoy driving with the pads, have great confidence in them, especially on the long straight where you have a heavy braking zone into tight turn. I'll continue using RR going forth

A long one.

Still going, and getting beaten on every time it leaves the garage!

Thanks Chris, appreciate it. No surprise that is your experience with A052s considering the pace and power you guys are running up there!

@@rhysrhysrhys I also do think for dry running. RE71RS is a faster tyre and I think is able to do back to back laps.

@@cgrschannel7256 yeah, the RE71RS is a really good tyre and probably the best overall tyre and will probably be where I end up after this set wears out.

@@rhysrhysrhys Have you ran the v730 or rs4's in the past before? how do you compare them when accounting for cost

Perfect tyre for Friday night drags at Calder then!

@@cahernandezhe I wouldn't say they suffer, they are high performance tyres built for a certain purpose and that is fast individual laps. RE71RS, CRS and A052 are all great tyres if you choose the right one, or even another tyre in the 200tw category.

Aslong as they make it in 15" sizes

@@EnasiAU 205/50/15 due at the end of this year, 225/45/15 the end of next. I assume we'll be able to order them once they are available in the US.

@@rhysrhysrhyssounds good!

Very keen to see this comparison as well. Running CR-S atm and I'm enjoying them. (lapping not sprints etc).

@@rhysrhysrhys they are available on tirerack and are confirmed to be more exxy than A052s lol

Do people still use Nitto NT01s? Its been nearly ten years since I've seen one of those in Australia.

I assume your EK isn't a daily driver and grip is your main priority, especially from the lights or on a pull. I'd go RE71RS or CRS, I wouldn't bother buying any of the other mentioned. I am now running A052 (despite saying I wouldn't) and they have the best cold performance from what I've experienced.

@@rhysrhysrhysI just drive it a couple of times a week and yeah grip is what I need. Funny you mention the A052 as I was actually just checking them. Might go with them if they've good from cold.

@rhysrhysrhys what offset do your wheels have and what size are the A050's? I've got 15x8 +28 wheels and not sure of I should go 225 or drop down to 205 as they're a taller tyre and I don't want that much negative camber to make them fit wheel

EK4 Civic, the same car that is in all my other videos.

Other than a few goes on friend's sims, I've never spent any driving on them. I'd say I'm a terrible sim driver. If your local tracks or clubs have driver coaches, it'd be a worthy exercise for them to observe and highlight some improvements before you development (or further development) some negative driving habits. Sharing your videos and data (racechrono for example) with other people with varying experiences can also be helpful.

Its a multiclub event run by the club based at the RAAF base (RACES). They run it four times a year. Next one is 15th September and then 1st December. Entries for September are up on the GCC website - gippslandcarclub.com.au/supp-regs/

It was quite fun with this setup! Hoosier A7s on a 15*9&8 stagger, small wing and splitter. The car has always been on MCA Reds. Covid and now child/ren interrupted the aero development, so the car is now much simpler (and slower) for the time being

@@rhysrhysrhys brilliant - it sounds great. Were you running C7 Improved Prod at Rob Roy? ✌️

I came in 6km faster than I had all day, so a little slower on entry could have meant more control. Also not focused on the cone on the track and looked to where I was going rather than there. Past that, I could have accelerated instead of braked when the rear stepped out and it could have straightened out. It could have also stepped out the other way and who knows where I would have ended up at a much faster pace than I hit the wall this time. Overall, considering the speed I lost the rear (145km), I think I came out of it quite well.

@@rhysrhysrhys Glad you got out of it unharmed with minimal damage.

I went in pretty deep as this was my first clear lap after dealing with frustrating traffic and I was keen to post a good lap. I don't think anything other than that sneaky cone was on the track.

I haven't searched fishing boats on Marketplace yet...!
