Hey guys,

Item: 2x Hankook Ventus HRII 215/40R17 Performance Directionals.

Location: South Australia.

Website: Here.

Item Condition: Brand New.

Reason for selling: Unwanted/Unneeded.

Price and price conditions: $320 ONO + Postage.

Extra Info:

I bought these probably around 3 months ago. I bought only 2x for the front at the time, cause I needed them in a hurry to put on the car for some tuning exercises.. had the intention of using them for a long time, but I no longer need any 17" street tyres now.

Genuine sale - have changed directions with the car, which runs semi slicks prodominantly, and certainly not 17" ones at that.. so I really don't have any use at all anymore for 17" street tyres, thus - I need to sell these on. I would have kept them and used them otherwise.

They are 215/40R17 in specification, and are Hankook Ventus HRII, which are their top of the range street performance tyre apparently. For the very little amount I used them, I found they were a very good all rounder. Was quite pleased with them, for a so called cheaper tyre.

Sadly for me, I'll lose alot of money on these.. :P

I have quite literally only used them for around 600km's, which included a trip to the tuners, and trip to and forth Mallala for spectating a Modern Regularity round, and the trip home. Whilst in use, they were used only for very light duties, no fast drives or the like. So these are practically brand new, despite being a bit dirty from everyday weather.

I paid $190 each tyre, so I thought $160 each for pretty much brand new tyres is an ok deal.. I got these cheap too, they usually retail for around the $220 mark.

Price is negotiable, but please be sensible with offers..

Would prefer to sell locally, but can arrange freight at buyers cost..

Any other questions - please feel free to ask!

    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
