Cal while you're here, who in town would be best to see for tyres? I've got rims coming next week and i don't want to fork out more than i need to on tyres but i don't want to get cheap shit ones. Need 275/30/20 & 245/30/20

ring somewhere down south.....

Cheapest tyres i could get for 265/35 19's were Kenda's or Kendras and they were $300 a tyre

Unless 20's are more popular than 19's I would seriously get them sent up from sydney or somewhere

When I asked tyrepower what they had, they said "we can do Yokohama _____'s for $735 each"

So yeah, Mackay is not the place to buy tyres from lol

Jesus christ, $735 EACH?? what were they made of rubber that doesn't wear..?

But now that i think about it, i don't find it that hard to beleive. After all it is Mackay.

Thanks for the advice, can you recommend any sites/brands that would be reasonably cheap but good quality? This is the first time i've ever bought tyres haha.

Talk to Taken Tyres. I've dealt with Ali a few times and things havent always gone to plan but there customer service is awesome.

Had no issues with them. The only issues we had were from their suppliers stuffing up on the rims I have now. They will sell you the kumho KU31's At a reasonable price and I think delivery is only $15 a Tyre. Not sure if they can do the Kumho's in 20's but

Taleb Tyres*Stupid auto correct

What's a "reasonable price" though Cal? I don't want to fork out more than probably $250ea

Ummmm Think I was paying $280 for The KU31's

I've had a quick look at option 1 garage's site, and seems like they would be alright to get tyres from. Best thing to do is just ask around. Not sure on resonable prices on 20's but if you can get some for $300 or lower I'd be happy with that

Okay great. I have a mate that is somehow tied with the owner of Meng in paget and aparently he's going to hook me up with good tyres for $150each but i don't beleive that until they are on my car lol. Also just waved to you near Sydney street, i was driving a white Pajero.

In the carpark? Thought someone was flipping me off haha

Nah man i was driving into city heart in the left lane and i saw you coming up behind me in the right lane (i read your number plate backwards lolz) and put my arm out the window and waved as you went past. VROOOOOOOOM

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
