I'm not sure about any Hiace specialists here. Unless you're asking a general question about running wires?

Looking fantastic! I'm happy you decided to keep it. Despite feeling better about it you're also contributing to the small group of people who aren't destroying cars and are maintaining them properly. This car will only appreciate. The downsides always compound and end up feeling like a lot, but as with everything they will ebb and flow. I'm really loving it. Keep up the updates.

I'm happy you chose to share. I can imagine how this would feel, I'd be absolutely gutted. I once lost the rear in an S13 and hit a post in the rear quarter. It wasn't huge but just horrible when you spend so much time keeping them clean and maintained. Good luck and keep us updated.

Yeah they look nice! Thanks about the treadwear, that was confusing me. Touché. Nice, they look good. Thanks for all the help in here guys, much appreciated. As a lot of these stretch my budget for a part time track tyre I'm just going to need to have a think about it and see what my local tyre joints can do with prices.

I fear we have drifted somewhat off topic. 😁

Amen.

This is not the BMW bashing topic!!

New school voodoo.

Thanks guys, loving the info, much appreciated! D I have a 2nd set of 17's that I'll use for track tyres. And, BMW's burn oil, they don't drop it. I'll just fill it up when I get fuel. 😂

That should be fixed now? Missed config from server migration. Thanks all, thats some good info. Firstly, I'm assuming that if possible it'd be better to get 245/40's instead of 245/45's ? Then, I guess I need to work out my budget per tyre and then from there see what I can get. 245/40/17 AR1's are ~$250. 255/40/17 NS-2R's are ~$200. I've noticed nobody mentioning the KENDA's. So message received there. I forgot also about treadwear. If its an option, what is best for tyres lasting longer but still a good performer? I'm not doing time trials, just trying best bang for buck.

Hello all, I'm planning on hitting Wakefield soon in my 330i for a bit of fun. It has new shocks and lower eibach springs and that is the extent of my changes to the car. As I've always been out using street tyres and how everybody who uses semi's have told me that they are just so much better I thought I'd do that this time around. My daily wheels are 19's and wont be used. I have a set of MSport 17's that will become my track wheels. First question - my rears on the 17's are 255/40/17 and I'm wondering if there'd be much of a problem to use a more common size, such as 245/45/17 ? Second question - I do not have much money for this, it really needs to be a budget hobby. I was looking at using KENDA tyres but most feedback for them is from people drifting. The next cheapest are the Nankang NS-2R which have great feedback and are pretty cheap still. What are people's opinions here? Is there another tyre I should consider? Anywhoo, I'm seriously looking forward to getting out there again. Thanks all.

It will be electronically limited to 180 but you can get devices that remove that limit. What are 'out of province' issues? I dont know what that means. It looks nice and clean!

Welcome! Any pics of the car? How long have you had it?

Welcome! Post pics of the translation when done, this is asked for a lot!

Welcome Justin, any pics?

Welcome! Love a good 1600 - any pics?

This is perfect! We should add this to all 'what car should i get' threads. This is my fave.

Welcome guys!

Welcome Billy! I could suggest a new car every 30 seconds. The others have suggested BRZ's - is that an option?

Welcome Rob, car looks awesome!

Not much better than a white R32 GTR. Well done. I'm envious at how much space you have to work on the car!

But both sides from 2 cars?

Skimming replies from people trying to help you is pretty poor form. Maybe you should give them the respect they deserve.
