All,

I recieved a phone call from a wholesale friend I use for tyres. He has the following size Toyo R888's NEW available.

195x55x15's $165 each Low stock

215x50x15's $165 each

225x45x16's $200 each

215x45x17's $240 each 4 left

225x45x17's $250 each low stock

235x45x17's $250 each Sold out

255x40x17's $260 each Sold out

Sorry no 18's :thumbsup:

You will have to move quick as he is selling them to all his tyre shops at this price, post up and PM me if you are interested and can pay straight away. These are one of the best Semi's around, road leagal and great for track or drag work. Do your reseach on the internet before you buy.

Thanks Paul

great price...everyone thinking about doing some of the upcoming track days buy these :D They are about half the price of most semi slicks, and will be cheaper than wrecking road tyres at the track

To answer your question, very slippery would be the best way to describe the wet performance. These are a purpose built track tyre and do not really suit a daily road driver. You would only expect to get say 5000km tops on the road. Having uses the Toyo T1R, I can tell you it’s a better road/track tyre and is great in the wet. I got about 17,000km out of them with 5-6 track days. But the T1R's can be more expensive then the R888 prices above, but will last 3 times longer, but R888 will give you probably 3 sec quicker times at the track.

Dont be tight and go buy some cheapo 15"s and chuck some semi slicks on em!!!! Im getting some 17's for daily use and the current 15' SSR rims will be track set, with semi slicks.....hopefully

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
