got xw40: http://www.torcousa.com/torco_product/sr-1.html
only thing is only xw20 and xw30 are GF5 resource conservation certified i believe (very hard, almost impossible to get resource conservation certification for thicker viscosity EO)

180kph on neo 5th gear shouldn't be in the red line i reckon? i've drove my iswara 3 speed auto >7k rpm on a frequent basis
so yeah, very regular driving if you ask me.

Iswara with toyol inside.hehe.i still got about half litre left of sr1-r,should give you that.
can reach red line but don't dare to boost till that.If NA sure can push it.

i don't mind taking free
add into my stash of EO's lol
ya i happen to keep a stash of torco/motul/liqui moly for my various cars under my car (sis/mom, and my 2 cars lol)

on a serious note: no harm mixing the leftovers when you get regular SR1 instead

Yeah,can keep for future use.in case of oil loss or when to drain the oil catch tank.

What is the function of oil catch tank? Does it offer any significant performance increase or just good to have? Noob in this~

hahaha, initially want to change the rubbers only (205/45/R16) but upon arriving at the shop no stock pulak~ so he offered me 15" wheels + AD08R tyres for RM1900 (trade in old 16" wheels) as opposed to 16" tyres only price of RM1920~ very tempting that offer and my instinct is so strong for AD08R so there it goes~

today just got opportunity to try it and very satisfied with it~ Firstly, it was raining heavily in Shah Alam and it does not aquaplane easily (as there are myth that this kind of tires performed very badly in wet, the grip feels just like T1R before (driving in wet 90-100 km/h) so I am very satisfied with it (no matter how expensive your tires are, do not drive in insane speed during rain).

Then, I tried in Karak uphill and it was mixture of damp road (light rain) and dry. To my surprise, the grip is way better than T1R, it was my mind playing games with me to let go off the throttle (not confident when using T1R) but I just plant my foot down and it corner without a sweat! There are corners that I usually shift down to get more traction but after getting used to AD08R grip, I don't have to shift down and just enter the corner with confidence. 140km/h attacking those corner is very easy (I'm just a noob driver unlike Quazacolt)~

Then I purposely took Temerloh exit to see how it perform in normal road. From Temerloh to Kuantan, it was dry and hot all the way but there are some sections where the tarmac are loose and this tyres grip as expected. Attacking those corners is definitely a newfound confidence to me.

There's my initial review after about 500km of usage.

Thanks to Quazacolt for the poison~ damn!

i noob driver also still in learning process just like everyone else

but yea as you've read my reviews/links especially tire rack's benchmarks, the wet grip is truly phenomenal and anyone who says otherwise (at least to my knowledge) are either using the older ad08/ad07 as basis without ever trying the ad08r or they are just pulling shit out of their ass.

while i certainly do not encourage reckless driving/speeding, i've done >140-160kph in heavy rain with splash waves over my car roof and boy if theres a video camera recording my face, it'd be a damn messed up look as i was laughing all the way with a wide smile as if possessed by the tires urging me to push even further.
i can't say the same if the treads are further worn down (they don't exactly have a lot of tread/water drainage grooves mind you), but as it stands with fresh treads, wet grip is just awesome for this AD08R

and as you've probably noticed already, with these tires around, you will have increased urge to have fun with it
the feedback, laser precision handling as everyone described it is just one of a kind. and words like this will never be understood unless you've tried it yourself personally.

all in all glad you're having fun with them, and of course drive safe

The function of oil catch tank is to trapped ur engine oil from entering your intake manifold.Its more likely to known as oil separator if factory fitted.Since my car its not NA anymore(OR you likely to rev high),so its need faster ventilation and meaning the oil vapor circulation will be faster,in other words it make ur turbine dirtier if stay with normal PCV line,so add up the tank to trapped the oil and allow only hot air to the intake.after sometimes the oil will be fully fill the tank and it's times for you to dispose the oil if not,white smoke lo..

Here the picture about the connection>>

nice small review,very hard to take corner with 15 rims and with that speed since it very light but the tire do wonders..i know what tyre i want to go next..

Bro, at 1st I was thinking the same too but the steering weight do not change and I'm very surprised! Maybe it is due to 205 width...

Fuyoo, barang baik ini

this tyre shud recomended to Neo members especially kaki handling

jangan bang, later like federal 595 rsr or kumho ku36, become popular and price kena jack up sky high

hmm..betul gak...

sorry, boss..just keep it as secret wokah?

@afiqms what atf do u use?

Proton ATF

proton atf sp3? if your satria is on a japanese AT box, consider trying motul's ATF 1A

I dunno if my gb is Japanese or not, need to check~ but I have tried Eneos, Redline D4 and Proton ATF all same feeling~ no one in the list showed significant improvement~ the difference is the price~ so I'm sticking to proton ATF only coz it is cheap and reliable~

But for EO, definitely got difference~ currently on Liqui Moly~ gooding and not too expensive~

Intermittent wiper circuit mod.
add adjustable delay between ~2sec to ~22sec.



anybody interested? hehe..

successfully done on neo and persona.



hope u guys can see the video. else, let me know.

Can't comment on the Eneos, however red line and Proton atf sp 3 are of different specification /standards. So you really got to find out what at box model you're on.

Another thing would be if you actually want manually shift your at box, if you don't I guess Proton atf is fine.

For me personally Proton atf can't last more than 5 to 10k km, degrades too damn fast and shifts will delay a lot
