What did you do to your Aussie S550 today..

[Flying Fiz]

Ordered my JLT 3 Catch Can.

And today I really discovered just how bad these Pirelli PZero's are in the wet. I was just trying to test where the lack of adhesion was at low speeds and from a standing start. I could feel them get loose and squirrely real fast. Probably the worst (supposed high quality) tyres I've ever driven in the wet. In fact I've found them to be very average from day one in all conditions. My coilovers and lowering 30mm helped in the handling department to a very large and noticeable degree, but the car is, in my opinion let down by this rubber.

I'm going to switch to Michelin Pilot sport cup 2 as soon as the PZeros show enough wear to justify chucking them in the bin. Just hope they make them in the right size for our wheels.

I agree the Pirelli's are horrible tyres, although you will get worse wet weather performance from a Cup 2. They actually don't advise using cup 2s if it is raining! One of my considerations when i was looking at buying them

OH that's right, good point, then maybe just the Pilot Sports PS2 or anything but these!

I'm really shocked by just how average these PZeros are.

I went with Pilot Sport 2, Pilot Sport 3 should be on shelves soon so that might be something to look in to!

Don't you mean you have pilot 3 and the 4 are here?

They sound great and you cant argue with the tyre test results, but, and its a bit of a big but, they don't appear to come in our size. If they did I would for sure consider and I'm certain they are cheaper than the Michelins.

Good stuff [MENTION=21208]davidhes[/MENTION]. I took delivery yesterday - same colour, and have the same mods on my list (or in the box) .

Already installed the JLT Catch can, red push start button and replaced the cigar lighter with a nice lid.

Lower grille, black pony, black 5.0, black lug nuts and Borla S-Type with black tips is on for the weekend!

Once I'm done with the visual mods, will update with photos.

Still not 100% sold on the rear decklid because price and effort to install, but I really like it

Sounds great mate! And good choice in colour ;)

Mate the rear deck lid is one of the easiest mods. Definitely do it. Looks so much better imo. Can't stand the faux gas cap. The lower grille is a bit of a pain lol. Definitely have a mate or 2 come round to help you with that one.

Would love a video of what the exhaust sounds like when its installed and running.

 

[w0rt3x]

I've got 4 more hands to help me out with the lower grille, and while the mask is off I'll be also doing the pony badge.

Will definitely put a video of the S-Type. There are never enough videos of it

What size do we need on the front and the back for tyres?

 

[Bobsp12]

Bluepower cai and SpaceCitySpy boot closing strap went on today. The strap is something that should have been fitted standard.

I have a Bluepower CAI for sale if anyone is keen?? in Perth...
