Inner West Crew Whoretown (toowong/st Lucia/kenmore/indooroopilly And Sometimes Sunnybank?)


Recommended Posts

I'm sure they were more than adequate for a pansi in a capri :)

Yes, they are great on 4 cyclinder light weight cars - that's why I recommended them. But pansy... them's fightin' words negro :(

further comments:

RE001s are probably a great tyre, but would be much more expensive yeah?

KU36s will probably wear pretty fast, since they are pretending to be a semi slick

I heard the KU36 last around 20000km so thats out of the question. RE001s are freaking exp. Got a friend that just got them for around 290 per tyre fitted + they use some fancy gas to make it lighter (nitrogen maybe?). RE050As are close to 400 each fitted.

Tas: I believe KU36 can be compared to Evos if not RSR. Very good reviews from users on the forum.

All these prices are for 215/45/17s.

Two track days on a GTR is my bet

I guy at the last track day had them on his track spec WRX. Could'nt stop cursing about what a rubbish tyre they were and how they should never have been sold to him as a semi slick. My humble pintara was quicker than him :)

He said they'd be going off for the next track day, so there you go, 1 track day on a WRX :(

1.3 tonne on 215s :S Dayum. my SS have got close to 20k kms on them now and no sign of wear. I think I'm losing my mind though because everytime I look at the car I swear there is more neg camber on the front. Paranoia because I did all the camber arms myself keep thinking I've f**ked something up lol.

Fair call, they're probably more than adequate for the VW too.

But you're still a pansy :(

Damn i'd be happy with 20k out of ANY tire. I'd expect more like 10 out of KU36s

I think the Evos compare to the KU31 actually and the RSR compares to KU36.

Both RSR and KU36 are soft road tyres being called semi slicks by dodgy marketing departments

FYI: $550 fitted ea for 4x Toyo R888's 18/225

how much for 18/265 :)

My pintara ways sh*tloads more than that and it was rocking 215s for ages

True shit. 215s just seem like such a tiny tyre lol. I spose its no worse than the 2.5 tonne falcodores with their 235/245 ling longs on em.

Where from? what about 215/45 and 235/40 in 17?

Place out on the bay. I reckon if we all went there to buy the toyo's we wanted, they'd do us a deal dispite being different size's

Not very light if you asked me. The spec sheet says close to 1.3tonne... only 200kg light than mine.

they must be heavier now - last i saw they were 1130, which is 100 more than the capri.

but still - i usually think in terms of a falcon being 1.7 tonnes... i consider that to be a heavy car (without getting into utes and crap) so 400k less is a pretty big difference... but either way

it sells tyres bitch lol. But yeah I wouldn't put rsrs or ku36s on a beetle. overkill.

I think you must be stupid to do that. I cant justify the wearing on such a car. I want something that'll last for 40000km!

The stock tyres are 195/55/16 if you're interested in knowing. Its around 1250kg to make it even more accurate.

The threads on mine still look good after around 5000km. Hopefully it'll last me another 20000km... hahaha.

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
