Try Eagle Tyres in Granville ( 9637 4355 ). Last time I was there they had Kumho Ecsta 712 in 235/40 ZR18 for $250 each. Not a bad tyre and mine have lasted >35000kms so far with a few track days thrown in for good measure.

They also had Dunlop W10 for $360, Falken 326 for $240 and falken 512 for $260 ( all in 235/40/18 ).

Or alternately you could go to BobJane or Beaurepaires and pay over $500 a tyre for something like Dunlop SP9000 or Bridgestone Potenza S03's. Great tyres but I know where I'll be going for my next set. This is, however, assuming you're not after the ultimate in tyre technology/price.

thanks guys, 18's r such a hassle they tend to go bold on the inside for the front tyres for some reason, i was told this was the case when u have big wide tyres.

As for wat width i dont have a clue but i use to have 265's at the back and it was snug, so i assume 9" or so?

Oh yea i found some cheap as tyres at AJR in sefton although they r second hand i got a pair of Michelin pilot sport 245/40/18 for 140 a piece with about 80% tread.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
