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)

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
