sigh, i bought the dunlops ive got on the back of my s14 off stewy for a little over 100 beans, and considering that the same tires in a 205/55/16 cost me close to $200 from a used tyre place, i dont think hes making much money on em. and who really cares if hes making say, $10/pair, good luck finding the shit hes selling for the same price.

Try Southern tyre disposals at Lonsdale, mate of mine works there. They get all the old tyres from the big tyre outlets and shread them, they keep the decent ones and sell them pretty cheap, thats where i get mine from time to time. He use to get me the tyres from holdens that had punctures and they cant put back on new cars, like brand new Bridgestone potenzas 235/40/18's for $150 each fitted and balenced :D

Lindo use to get his drift tyres from there.

no, i get cheap tyres for myself and mates, and sell what i dont use for cheap. i dont see what the issue with passing on the savings i get to other members.
Dont worry Pete he aint no Trader, just a guy selling some tyres when he gets them.

OK, just checking

sounds good, but thats seriously way too far for me to travel for rubber.

cheers for the support guys, it does work out well for me as it means i can buy in bulk and get them cheaper, which means i save on the tyres i use, guess its no real different to someone starting a group buy to save a few bucks for themselves.

i wont go any further into it as i think its taken the thread enough off-topic. if the mod wants to delete all the off-topic posts then thats fine by me as i understand its not really needed in this thread.

ok i lie, one more thing :pirate:

personally i think thats a bit much, ive sold quite a few near new 18" RE050A's for $100-150 a pair without punctures, fitting should be not more than $15 each from a decent tyre place. still not bad i guess, but theres certainly cheaper around.

bottom block from 33gtst just missing piston 6 due to conrod break,no damage to block but little mark in bore which can be fixed. just couldnt be arsed $500 ONO

Im not talking near new, im talking brand new with the nobbly bits still on them, and punctures fixed and fitted and balenced, so i doubt anyone can get them near that price, if they can, i would love for you to let me know where.

ahk thats still pretty decent, i only rarely get stuff thats near new, and it usually goes within a few hours of me posting it up for obvious reasons. i have had stuff in the past which was basically new, i have no idea why it was taken off, but if u can get a regular flow of them then good news.

Need to get rid of the Corolla pretty soon as i have found my perfect car, so ideally asap. Imported by previous owner and complied in late 2006, still have all the paperwork including pics of it in the docks in Japan. Have been using the car as a daily since then and has always been very reliable. Car is in pretty good condition for its age. Good on fuel, always run on 98, and climate control works well. Always been well looked after and serviced regularly using genuine parts. Since owning the car have replaced front pads, a couple CV boots, slave cylinder and tyres, also just replaced the CV boots last week ($500). Fun car to drive, negotiable on price, looking to sell quickly. If interested give me a call, located in north eastern suburbs

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
