  1. it was a great night, high level of talent there. The Silver Audi Q5 that was failing at parking when we were leaving was actually my sales manager from work..... haha i dont' think they are ment to be using a company car for that purpose
  2. there is a reason the alfa/ferrari side of the shop don't use them anymore, goes back like 5 years. Big bloke that works at beaus the guy with the tats on his arms is a tosser to start with, not sure if he's still there. But they dogged us on a car about 5 years ago, and we had to cover the cost of that, so since then we have used jax, couldnt be happier, i get on well with the owner so needless to say i get tyres at a great price i do use alot of tyres
  3. where did you get a pic of my 31 from?
  4. Where is the Bob jane in the valley? If your talking tyre shop dickheads all i can think of is beaurepaires on commercial road. We don't use them cause they are stains, and that white S13 there was a pink s13. You want a good tyre shop, Jax Quickfit on abbotsford road, tell them dan at alfa sent you, they will get you pretty much any tyre you want/need. they stretched some 215's onto 9" rims for martin, they also don't mind about illegal modifications. Oh they are also the main tyre shop for, Euromarque Brisbane, AP Eagers, Brisbane Porche, Brisbane BMW and a couple other bigger shops
  5. Anyone know how hard it would be to get a bellhouse for a RB25DET gearbox. I got a box its just got a VG30 bell on it.
  6. New world disorder vids are always the good, work mate is getting NWD-10 filmed in all high def and RED camera's
  7. we played some private boys school fag team, seriously must have been gay, they kept hold onto us. I got a penalty against me for shoulder charging, the guy deserved it though, sent him 5 metres across the field. Ref laughed at it
  8. Going back on tyres for a bit. Bridgestone RE001's are a great tyre, not the best wearing thing in the world but still a great tyre. It all depends on where the RE001 is made, some are made in japan and pretty much since the start of the year anything out of jpn has gone through the roof in way of tyres it will cost a shit load, if its aussie made re001 it will be cheap. The Re050 and Re050a are shit and dont waste your money. Ku31's and 595's are about equal, both great tyre for the cash. Ku36's tread wear is a 180, so roughly the same as the Re001, pirelli pzero corsa and other good street rubber. Another good tyre is the Michelin Pilots Sport or PP2 about a 200 tread wear, good in the wet and dry, and also very quite on the highway, not a V tread pattern so it is good. I ran these for about 20,000km with a couple of track days in there too, drove them until they had no tread pattern at all and they still gripped ok. As for proper semi slicks? 12 months ago i got 225/50 R16 Bridgestone RE55's for $240 each fitted brand new, same place same tyre today is $440. 16's aren't the cheapest tyre to buy anymore, found i can get some 17's and 18's cheaper in the 55's. I ran with them on the street for a while too. What i am hearing is that the Dunlop Direzza is a nice tyre. Also the R888's i am yet to try either of these. I have also driven on Advan A048's and they were pretty good. Wouldnt mind seeing what the Kumho V70a's are like, about the same price as the dunlop and bridgestone If you got lots of money to spend, Pirelli Pzero and Michelin Cup is the place to lay your gold. Driven on both, nice tyre, don't last long at all. 30 lap race on the Pirelli and they were blistered and dead. The car drove from the valley to QR, raced and drove back to the valley. Apart from that, i had a shit night at indoor soccer, we lost
