Hi everyone,

Ive been reading several threads and keep coming across the same problem for alot of different people being wheelspin. Not sure if guys that are new to drag racing are aware of the street radial and the advantages of using them. Im going to do a little experiment next wednesday night with Mona's car.

Compare this weeks sixty foot times on a street tyre to next week on Mickey Thompson Street Radials.

Ill post results on wednesday night. All going well we should be able to organise a group buy for those who are interested. If we oreder 5 or more sets, shold be abel to save $40 a tyre. Usually retail for $290 each.

Ok guys, got some pricing.

235/60/15 $235.00ea

255/50/16 $250.00ea

275/40/17 $275.00ea

This is depending on the amount we buy, im buying one set of each for the shop so we need at least 7 more buyers. these are as cheap as youll find, these tyres retail usually for $270, $290 & $317ea.

Am going to WSID weather permitting on wednesday night so Mona can try a set for a comparison. Will post results, after that ill be ready to order. Can PM me if interested, and will arrange electronic payment.

i can bring tyres to WSID the following week or pick them up from shop.

$250 each for 255/50/16, can only get them this cheap if we get 5 or more buyers.

I am up for a pair of 275/40/17's

If we get enough buyers, ill see what we can get a set for, may not be as cheap as the smaller tyres, but still should be discounted.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
