Hi guys,

Looking at new rims and tyres. Wanted to ask everyone a good place to go in Perth that has good service and pricing.

Know of a couple of places but wanted to ask everyone on here.

Wheres the best place in Perth?

Edited by Onthehunt

New operation... ROLL RIGHT TYRES in Jonndlaup... Guys name is Stanley.

Was put onto him by a friend who is the FEDERAL tyre wholesaler... great guy and really freindly... not to

mention did a great job (not rough so takes care of your rims) and prices are very good.

hey

my uncle Shane Curgenven is the manager of Goodyear Tyre and break Williton, he should be able to do a good deal on rims and tyres, plus he is the state rep for yokahama poformace tyres so he might be able to get a deal on them for you to.

thanks kenny

My mate manage Beaurepair in Melville,

call in and ask for Yang, he will give you the best deal available.

I wouldn't recommend any one esle in Perth, not because I know him but because he know his stuff.

go and just ask for a quote, doesn't hurt.

hi guys,

thanks for places will follow up tomorow when open.

looking at either 17" or 18" but not sure. is there much difference in weight and performance?

found the gmax energy wheel. scanned a pic of the brochure.

Someone said 18x8.5 at the front might make the steering too light so would it be better to go 7.5 at the front? I am thinking of 9.5 at rear and most likely 8.5 front.

any ideas?

cheers

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again? 
    • I haven’t yet cut the chassis, maybe I switch to a reverse flow. I’ve got the Intercooler mounted as I already had it but not cut yet. Might have to speak to an engineer 
    • Yes that’s another issue, I always have a front mount, plus will be turbo plus intake will big hasstle. I’ve been told if it looks stock they’re fine with it by a couple others who have done it ahahaha.    I know @Kinkstaah said the stock gtt airbox is limiting but I might just have to do that to avoid a defect so it atleast looks legit. Or an enclosed pod so it’s hidden away and feed air from the snorkel and below Intercooler holes like kinstaah mentioned. Hmm what to do
