Poor alwina

beats having a 32R disappear on you

That said, this is what the defect notice says.

1. Air cleaner - to be secured

2. Rear wheels, to be covered to axle height.

no rwc required.

Will cable tie down the pod, and also, put on the wheels off the v35 on.

He tried to tell me my car needs Z rated tyres. like reary?

So fingers crossed, when the epa comes, its just noise, i know its not possible, but a man can hope.

[Mohsen]

Just make a bracket and tap it in and be done with it.

[xALmoN]

well i really cant be bothered though LOL.

should i remove the bleed valve before i go to vicroads? LOL

[Odium]

thought you said semi's....

RS-R def not semi's

It's weird, half the places I look advertise them as semi slicks, but they look like (and have the specs of) like... extreme performance tyres. Either way, bang for buck it looks like they're what I'm after

[Leroy Peterson]

street-legal semi-slicks (DOT approved)

but defs good bang for buck

Yeh they are pretty good tyres, they screech abit but like Martin said. Not semi.. Borderline though

as a general rule, semi is lower than 100-120 wear rating

rs-r are 140,

my R888's are street legal so it not like that a hard thing.

[blah_blah]

MMmmmm

Decent track tyre is on my wish list of things I want!

Edit: can anyone recommend a decent place for interior detailing? south/east regions

If he saw the bleed valve then that's a full EPA. The same goes for intercooler an airpod.

Vicroads staff don't know what bleed valve is. They will look at wheels and pod and go back.

Where does one acquire cheap R888's.?

If you've got the stock airbox, you can tuck it under there pretty nicely as well. Makes it super hidden.

Still a bit more than I wanted to spend on DECA and a few track days.

$240 fitted for a 265/35/18 595RS-R

vs

$730/2=$365 unfitted,unshipped for a 265/35/18 R888

Different league of tyre I know, but for my level of competition... its a bit more than I was willing to spend this time around, considering I just bought a grand worth of rims as well Wallet hates me enough already.
