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.

    • I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them
    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
    • There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?  
    • Yes, fair call. I don't have any special love for super/hyper cars but it was impressive to watch the Lambo line up against successive skylines without any problem at all.
