i would belive that boost automotive would be just as competitive as anyone elce.

tyres may be cheap on the internet but when you add freight and fitting they work out similar.

the cost of getting tyres fitted anywhere is quite expensive nowerdays.

and yeah boost is good, I get my semis off him. Brad's a friggin legend.

If these were 10" all round , i would be mad not to grab them a that price, nice looking rims.

Will call in and see Brad next week and see what his pricing is like.

Got a price from some dude on the internet last week R888 19-30-265 @ $485each + postage + fitting

That puts me at about $2200 all up.

Getting tyres fitted isn't that expensive, well not here anyway. Costs me $40.00 to get a set of tyres fitted. Try Stukeys in Melb, they are pretty reasonable, but only do Dunlop & Nittos I think. Or Hawthorn tyrepower, thats where I get my semi's from.

any jo blow off the street should expect to pay anywere from 20-30 bux a tyre then if you add nitrogen. (which is recommended even in race tyres as it is far more stable and there is less pressure growth during a heat cycle.) thats anywhere from 5-10 per tyre its all of a sudden over 100 bux for some carry in tyres. its not heaps but its all money.

im with you thoe. getting a tyre store onside if you swap tyres a lot is a good thing.

Anyone here used tyrerack.com? I've heard a lot of good things about them (and they do post to aus) but don't know anyone directly who has used them. The handling and suspension section has a whole thread on them :)

if you're game to try them out give me a call and I might put an order in too :)

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
