Has anyone had their guards rolled, or lipped, or whatever its called?

I got a bit too greedy and got 265 (10.5inch :)) for the new rear tyres, and they have turned out to be too close for comfort. I need to get this sorted before the track day on Saturday.

Can anyone recommend where I can get this done? Anything to watch out for? Approx prices?

Duncan, I have 265's on mine and they haven't been a problem...

I have the guards rolled on my Pulsar, it chipped a bit of the paint and also caused a lot of the strength to go around the panels (they bent easily).

Yeah, approx $40 a corner.

You should be careful as usually they cause cracks in the paint

work and warp panels. Take it to someone reputable, not worth

it rusting. I guess it also depends on how much you want them

rolled..

Yes, that yellow one is nice azz. I'm wondering how much they

want for it?

Thanks for the feedback, all. I ended up getting them rolled at Tempe tyres for $60 (rears only). They seemed to do a good job, no cracks in the paint etc.

And the tyres are no longer rubbing - I'm not sure how you guys fit 265s/275s without rolling them, is there some sort of tardis under your guards?

In the kinga we just got a big metal bar and rolled it around the tyre along the guard :)

Worked a treat :D

Bah dont listen to christian!

It comes down to the exact right offset of the wheel.

If you get the right offset you can fit 265 tyres on the rears no probs and thats what his wheels are.

I know a guy who can fit 275 to his nissan 180sx.

      Gates is saying the same thing. They think I have the right bag with the wrong hose in it... I bought it off amazon, I'm thinking someone pulled a good old swapparoo and returned normal hose. Well looks like she's coming back out... Not very lucky with this hose lol.

      Chatting one someone recently at racing them at QR. They say you can't take turn 2 in one flat stick in 4th. They don't have the torque to pull them selves straight, so make sure you're ringing it's neck out in 3rd instead

      Should you buy cheap Chinese tyres?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Many years ago when I bought my FG XR6T, it came with bald tyres on the back (think pretty much smooth for most of the tread) and brand new Kinforest cheap shit tyres on the front. In the rain, I had more grip in the bald ass tyres on the back, than the brand new Kinforest. To the point you couldn't drive off at a set of lights and turn the corner. Car would only go straight. Very quickly all four tyres were replaced.   A few years back on a VF SV6 I had, it came with brand new chineesium tyres. In the wet at 90kmh, old 1990s tray back tradie utes could corner faster than me. There was one corner on a freeway, in a 90 zone, it's not even marked to reduce speed for those curve, it's not a hard corner, I could put the LandCruiser on mud tyres through with ease (it would easily do the corner in the wet I reckon at 120kmh), the VF however couldn't get through it at 80, as it would want to slide out.   Cheap tyres aren't worth the risk. I like decent brakes, and decent grip.

      It shouldn't swell like that, (just looked it up) it should say SAE J30R10

      Anyone here a submersible fuel hose expert? I pulled my hanger out again for unrelated issues and noticed the hose I popped on last week has already swollen. This is Gates 27093 submersible hose. I've waiting on a response from Gates, but this surely can't be normal? This is on pump gas, not E85.  Is swelling a tad possibly normal? I've also been fighting with my power steering belt.... I've now tossed one and killed two. I just realigned my pulleys again, hoping this time it stays on. It doesn't like high rpm.
