Sorry i'll fix that up

My rubber is falken ze 326 series. 2x 255/40/r17, 2x 235/45/r17

Fair amount of rubber left on them, only want $300, EASY road legal, plenty tread left.

The rubber is the same around (40,45) is just worked out on the width... works out the same hieght.

i dont think you understand they have to be EXACTLY the same :uh-huh:

Yup,spot on Leech! Ah well,at least dayne wanted to help! I'm about 48 hours away from having to use my normal,new Pirelli's(which just aren't as good as what I'm after...). Sigh:keep on huntin'...

They dont have to be the same size, just rolling diameter... if you have wider profile a higher profile sidewall could well work... too much pain in the ass calculating though.

Jayce, if $1000 is within your budget, check out the Falken RS-V04. Theyre meant to be fairly good, and alot of jap track cars run them. If you order tomorrow before 2pm-ish from Tempe, they can be here Friday and you can probably get Ed to fit and balance them tomorrow afternoon, or on the weekend some time.

Mmmmmmm :wassup: sticky-icky-icky ooooooooooooooo-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

EDIT: Thats assuming Tempe have them in stock... everytime I have talked to them after a set of RT215's, they have had these in stock (and not the RT215's) and theyre a proper R compound.

I've run the SRVS04s from Tempe, and while they are not the best R tyres they are better than any road tyres. And lets face it, when they are that cheap who cares?

I paid $250 ea in 245/45/17

Stoopid question,but are these tyres DOT/road legal? I might just bite the bullet anyway...

I was about to say "sure all R tyres in Aus are road legal".

But AFAIK Tempe import these direct from Japan so they may never have been tested for compliance. Best to check with them directly.

It really saves hassle when you can drive to and from the track on your race tyres, I've done heaps for trips to Wakefield and back on various R tyres

Thanx Duncan-I reckon this is a goer...I just PM'd Abo Bob re:his tyres;we'll see what transpires,shall we? Either way,bring it on!

so is E and Her forester gonna have a fang round the track? :D

Nup;she's a little banged up after a "racing incident" at Hume Go Karts,plus20" rims that are under-tyred are too much of a risk...if she's up for it,she's welcome to have a steer of the 32...

what hapened at the karts? she flipped one of em didn't she

Nup;taken out by an erant wannabe that wouldn't hold her line-E. was just in the way at the time...

Anyway:onwards to Wakefield!

(Now that I've jinxed myself,watch as my tyres DON'T show up in time to fit 'em up...LOL)

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
