Give Gorden Levin Tyres in Emu Plains (Penrith) a call. They deal the tyres for alot of the motorsport categories in Australia and buy back a heap of the tyres after a race weekend so you can get some really good condition tyres for very cheap prices (under $100ea).

Now if only their A1GP tyres would fit under my rear guards :whistling:

Taleb tyres are doing sau'er specials for r888's for $120-$140 225.45.16 Just mention you are an sau member and be nice :sick:

Be careful of these. These are the hill climb tyres and are 3 years old and are from a large patch that were parallel imported. They are not really any good for circuit work as they will overheat.

Damn,

Are you sure? How do you know this?

I bought a set of these last weekend!!!

Oh well they should be alright for a few laps at a time (I hope). They do look pretty cool. I might have to put these on the car and try them on the street before I hit the track.

hmm, i'm not familliar with SG. When I last used the toyos there was G, GG and GGG. GGG was softest from memory. SG maybe one compound i'm not familiar with.

There's a Toyo Press Release (PDF) which talks about the parallel imported tyres. Basically what nfi said with more details.

Still does not explain what SG compound is for. The guys at Taleb tyres told me they where in between hard and soft compound. Now i'm not so sure?

It seems Taleb, St George and a few others were selling these specific tyres as I rung around and they all only had 225/45/16.

Who else bought these R888 (from Taleb, St George, etc) and who has tried them out yet? Feedback?

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
