Hey,

I'm an idiot :P . I thought 215/45/17 would fit on the front on my MR2 and they do as long as I don't go around any corners. They've only driven around 60km (of the slowest driving you've seen) and weren't damaged at all. They are very sticky tyres (have them on the rears) and should get reasonable tire life.

They are:

2 x Kumho Escta XS (KU36)

The RRP is $250 each and I picked them up for $220 each. I'd be happy to get $300 for both.

They are in Leichhardt NSW and they are pickup only. I can be contacted on 0401168246 or during business hours at [email protected]

i think it was on one of the traders on nissansilvia.com

Well what can I say. I can't see any adds for them there. Kuhmo make more than one semi-slick so I 'd have to assume that they weren't KU36s.

The only other KU36's I've seen advertised was on Ebay and they were 2 x 235/45/17 and were going for $480 a pair

They are street legal BTW.

A workshop in Brisbane sells them for $139 but that was 235/45/17......

Well 215/45/17 are a more expensive tire but I'm still not sure how they can do that price. Are you 100% that they are KU36s?

Right then. They are importing their own tyres and selling them for a good prices. I'll definitely check them out when I need new one. However, I've spoken to them and the tires are now $180 each (shipped to sydney) and they are almost out os stock. The price are unkown for the next batch they import which probably means they will go up.

So I have 'as new' tires that cost $360 new. I'll drop the price to $250

      EFR7670 exhaust housing selection RB26

      Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.

      People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.

      Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home

      You have to continuously fill it to avoid dry running. Personally the transmissions I've serviced have never been bad enough to justify doing this because it is definitely a pretty complicated and somewhat risky procedure compared to simply draining the pan, measuring what came out, then refilling with the exact same amount.
