This group buy starts immediately and will conclude on the 1st of January OR when 10 pairs (20 in total) are paid for, whichever is the sooner. We need to have orders and payment for 20 individual tyres in total for the price to stand.

The product on offer is pairs of Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials (Drag Radials) in either 275/40/17" OR 255/50/16". We can have any combination of these sizes to comprise the order. The 275/40/17" sized tyres are known by Mickey Thompson as "blemished" stock. I have personally inspected the stock on hand of these tyres and they are incredibly hard to pick why they are listed as blemished. These tyres are cosmetically different (although usually un-noticable unless you're inches from the tyre) but are still 100% stucturally guaranteed. The 155/50/16" size are normal stock.

The prices we will be getting for these tyres are as follows:

255/50/16" - $245.00ea - (MSRP is $283.00ea)

275/40/17" - $225.00ea - (MSRP is $311.00ea)

The company that is supplying the products for the group buy is Rocket Industries

The products can be collected from Wollongong/WSID by prior arrangement or may be shipped road freight at buyer's expense.

Associated costs for delivery will vary depending on your location.

These tyres can and will typically drop tenths, sometimes quite a few of them off of your quarter mile ET. They're usable on the street so driving to and from a race meeting on them isn't a problem. I drive 107km to the track on them, let some air out of them, race, then put some air back in and drive 107km home!

Cheers,

Adrian

The 17's are very very good. They are MUCH better than Nitto NT555R's and I ran 1.68 60' times on those tyres. These are better again.

The group buy end date is in the first post. Quite a while between now and then.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
