G'day! With a trackday looming FAST (this coming Monday the 13th),I really need some sticky rubber. I'm really not up for a brand new set (somewhere between $1K and $2K for reasonable stuff..),so was wondering if anyone had some slightly/mildly used tyres that they would depart with for reasonable $$$'s? I'd need either 245/45/17 or 235/45/17's in something STICKY and road legal,as it's about to be double points and all that associated glaring attention it brings,especially aroung the Police State that is Goulburn. Obviously,I'll need 'em before Friday so I can get 'em fitted and balanced before promtly tearing 'em to shreds on Monday,hence the call-out for help! Normally I'd post this in the "wanted to buy" section,but as time is running out,and the tyres must be had locally...Anyone? Pleeeeaaase?!?

hahah no tyres for you! you don't need the help. See you on Monday and good luck finding some rubber.....you really should buy some proper ones like re55s, they will last a few days and are great to drive on.

Let me know if you want me to pick up something in Syd and bring them down, I will be in Goulburn from Sun night

Ah,it's all good! If I can't find something,my new Pirelli P Zero's will just have to take a beating...LOL! Being that the Dutton Rally is over,here's hoping... I will get around to some new tyres;more likely when I get a second set of rims...

Got a set of some Ed special dodgy Maxxis pieces of crap... not much good for actual track use besides belting the car sideways every opportunity you get :O Just thought id offer :P

Will be coming down to check out track day, but that stupid firewood log has left me pretty damn broke, so no entry for me (ill get there one day!!) :)

Jayce,

Apparantly Tempe have Falken RS-V04 semi slicks in stock in various sizes, 255/40/17's being ~$240 a tyre. This is only hearsay, give them a call and find out, could have them shipped overnight, and fitted tomorrow if you were real keen :P

      Rusty roof repair

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
