hey guys im in the process of getting rear tyres at tha moment, i currntly have 225/50/16's on the rear and i have just put new potenza g3's 205/55/16's on the front (front rim is 7" wide) my rear rim is 16x8" and i was thinking of going 245/45/16's rather then 225/50/16's i know they will fit just bulge slightly but my main concern is that there is a large discrepency between front and rear, what should i do, get 225's or 245's for the rear? any pro's con's??? i have found a good 245/4516 tyre for the rear toyo proxes t1-s or falken grb fk451, 225's easy to find in any tyre! thanks guys

jlnewton where did u get it all done?

bump

hey guys the fm901 has been discontinued and apparntly replaced with the direzza dz101 just wondering if anyone has experienced this tyre and what they think bout it? and what they paid? if no one has ill let u all know in a week when i get some!

hey guys im after two 225/50/16 tyres preferbly something in near new condition w/ minimum tread wear... also something pretty grippy, i.e. potenza, azeni, fm901 etc etc danny in melb!!!

yeah i understand that the front and back is differnt.... now my JIC's are not damper adjustable only height thats my problem!!! there is nothing on the coilovers that can be adjusted other then height!

im basically trying to find someone in melb to do this for me... my JICS are way too hard and road holdinh is pretty poor when going over bums on the road... my rear is perfect, so ill try get the rear bsprings from the coilovers put to the front and new rear ones... my only concern is can i get a spring from an aussie supplier like king, whitline, eibach or do i have to go to JIC... doesanyone know who could set this up for me in melb?

UPDATED i got the compression test re-done this afternoon, now the results are much better but i thnk thier all a little low! cyld 1 128 cyld 2 125 *took a little longer to reach this figure, compared to the other ones** cyld 3 128 cyld 4 128 these seem quite low to me, the car was at temp, and the throttle was fully open, cylinder 2 took a little longer to get to its figure to!! and i didnt disconnect the ignition either, would this give me low figures, and battery was struggling??? i dont know if these low figures are of a concern? anyone, im just now glad that there isnt a 50 psi diff betw 1&2 cheers guys

yeah i know but im still worried that there is a problem now, should i take it easy, should i not run 1 bar etc? i just dont want it to go "bang" what other problems could it be... valve seals? (is there still oil loss with these? and i wlways thought that with a 50 psi difference there woyld be some serious symptoms?? is this right?

hey guys my sr20det had a compression test done.... now apparently it dropped 50psi between cylindrs 1 & 2 im not sure of figures but assuming 150 to 100! now my engine is in perfect running order, doesnt loose one drop of oil in 5000ks, doesnt blow any other smoke out the exhaust, other then black fuel! she drives like a dream and pulls really good power for its mods! iv never had an idle problem, starting problem or anything meachanically really, i was assuming the compression would come up trumps as i knew it was an a1 engine!! now what the hell could be wrong with it, im sure its not piston rings at 50 psi loss!! is there anything else that would give me compression loss of that severity with no symptoms whats so ever!!!! any operator error taht could have caused this? i.s. mechanic was a nuffnuff??? help would REALLY be appreciated! and i will get a second opinion asap!! danny

what devcon product was it?? theres hundreds of em? metalmend? 5 min epoxy? or a aluminum epoxy? http://www.devcon.com/products.cfm found some stuff here, can anyone make out the best stuff for alloy, pressurised epoxy filler?

cool ill try find devcon... do i just putty it over he holes??? let her dry? thnaks guys for the replys much appreciated!!

do you know what that glue stuff was called? and whos the best to repair them?

iv run some water through it and it leaks slowly and the 2mm hole runs water!

just wondering if a cooler has a few pinhole leaks and one or 2 holes that are about 2mm wide... would it be repairable/patchable... weldable or some sort of metal epoxy? danny

thats exactly waht i want to know too! can the safc alow the use of a z32 afm on an sr20det? strich9ine does the safcII have an option to change afm's?

AFM???

penrite xtra-lite 75-80 i think... is very good and smoothe changes hot and cold

could be a 'lose' spark, maybe the coil is sparking on the head and not the plug... does it feel as though its lost a cylinder/misfiring? just re-check it, re-tighten etc!!!

only about 3.1 liters, but obviously check ur dipstick as u fill!
