I warned him before he bought them lol. He said nah, I got good luck since putting them on.. Lol

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.

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 :)

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.

o rly?

im looking at getting semi's sometime next year, so will be doing some research then.

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.?

I better tape up my bleed valve with black tape once my tuned is finished then :ninja:

Coming to GC tomorrow night Pat?

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

That's pretty cheap!

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.

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
