PAID!

The 200 will be there and ready for action!! As long as my brakes work :P

I will post up a meeting point thread soon (same one as last time at Casula Bunnings) for people driving down on Saturday morning. It will be an early one and we will be leaving at the posted time, NO STRAGGLERS.

Ok slicks/semis storage question, any guide on how to store them? Keep them out of direct sunlight so they don't go too soft?

Anything else?

Just a dry place and yes out of direct sunlight..I have stack inside the house :P lol

Thanks Have them stashed in the garage atm, suppose that's as good a place as any. The damn things are hard enough atm anyway. Sought of wondering if thats why they were cheap anyway. Bought them from powerplay.

Are these the Ohtsu tyres? If so, They are pretty good. PP don't sell crap.

Have a look for symbols on the tyre in a box will tell you what grade of tyre it is like [H] mean hard and H/M is medium hard... is soft

Will have a look when I'm home but that Ohtsu name does seem to ring a bell. Will see what it has on the tyres, but most of the writing is in japanese, They are the Falken Semis at the top of Powerplays homepage. Didn't think Powerplay sold bad stuff, know they have a good rep, just was suprised at how hard they felt.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
