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)

    • Before starting any work, we attempted to adjust the tune. However even after adjusting it to certain extremes like completely stopping fuel, it had no effect. What fixed it was removing the Nistune Board and installing the original EPROM instead. This immediately fixed the issue. Everything should have been fine with the Nistune Board installation, so I am unsure why it has caused a problem. The soldered connector is also properly soldered. This worked when I first got the 550cc injectors, before cleaning, but that may have been a coincidence.  We ended up not installing the fuel pump hanger (at least for now). So currently running stock injectors, stock fuel pump, stock fuel pump hanger – Well everything stock except the exhaust. Now I have around €1400 in Nistune, Injectors, and Hanger collecting dust for the time being, perhaps I'll install them in the future. For now I'll enjoy the car as is 😁 Thanks a lot for all your assistance, I really appreciate all the help you have given me.
    • The turbo can’t be the issue. They’re proven to make much much power than you’re making. There is something in the setup that isn’t correct. - has the exhaust got any silly step downs? - what exhaust manifold?
    • Ok, just the way you wrote it made it look like you had the stagger the wrong way around 
    • I was getting anxious with the DVLA not knowing if the paperwork is fine or not, so I rang them. No update had been given, but I  was reassured that providing the box was ticked on the V750 then the application will go through fine. I've been checking the DVLA website pretty much every day, in the hope that it would have been done. Fast forward to Monday 29th  and I was greeted with a new screen on the check, and it finally showed as Taxed and MOT'd, woohoo! The car was in desperate need of a clean, not knowing when this day was coming it was put off. As far as I was concerned I had another 3 weeks  I'm not normally one for using snow foam, but I wanted to give it another try It hasn't cleaned up too bad considering it's 21 years old and lived on a boat for a number of weeks. The personalised number plate is J2 XBK, an illegally spaced number plate would have it read J2X BK. BK could either represent  the colour black or Baker, which is my surname. I filmed the first drive, the Youtube link will be at the end. I used the same driving route I did with the 323F V6 when I had a new exhaust installed, heres a couple of photos A few more since then Youtube video can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjkFHPzjGDw
