I would not trust my line with $90 tyres full stop , but for a few extra bucks It could save your life or someone else's .

High power car with cheap tyres , Why dont you just drive your cars on an ice road . (just plain stupid)

Do your research first boys and girls .

They tell you that 20% rule of thumb, just to sell more tyres :D

Well better an experienced driver/racer on 20% worn Continentals or Bridgestones, than a P-plater hoon with race rubber.

Cheap price does not mean cheap tyre.

looks like i'll be after a cheap set of rears for my car to cover a few months before i have some spare cash for good ones, all these trips to melbourne have killed my tires, just a cheap set of bridgestones will have to do (don't want to go to crap)until i get them fitted my car is off the road :D

I'm selling the track bike now, with tyre warmers, race stands, spare gearbox, fairings, levers etc.

Ready to hit the track, ready to race.

2002 GSXR 600

$5000 for quick sale

thats a decent deal IMO

any engine work?

Im a fan of the hankook k104 ventus tyre

17's but Im sure you can find 18's somewhere

not much road noise, good sidewalls, dont get out of hand either on a 200kw stagea

thats a decent deal IMO

any engine work?

Engine is stock on the inside, although it comes with a full Leo Vince race system, 750 USD forks, RaceTech valves etc.

I do have Yoshimura adjustable cam gears and cams to go into it, I just never got around to it (after the workshop had my bike for 6 weeks and still hadn't fitted them before a race day, so I took my bike back and never went back to finish the job).

Its a decent deal because I have too many bikes ... I won't be racing this season due to broken shoulder ... so I'm selling for quick sale.

I smashed my 34 because I bought shit tyres which went hard quickly (well harder than when I bought them) and then I spun the car and put it in the wall .. Write off.. High performance car, high performance tyre.. no other option unless you use it as a daily and dont put your foot down (which if anyone says is them is a lier!)

learn to drive? :)

haha as long as you got good tyres up front and have decent car control you shouldnt be having any issues... :( everyone loves a bit of fishtailing.

unles youre still running hicaids... then get rid of that shit too :D

/shit stirring

The issue is that he dug up an old thread from 2 years ago, in which the OP's question was extensively answered, and added to irrelevant garble that would be MUCH better suited for discussion in the wasteland. If every user went and dug up an old post and posted some crap in it, imagine what the forums would look like in a weeks time. You need to examine the other side of the coin once in a while guys.

too true, it can go to shit pretty quick. i dont really need to know about someone looking for replacement valve caps in 1989

on the flip side i should get mad props for posting a humorous yet relevant picture

on the flip side, i might be considering 18" rims (which I am) and wondering about what other people on the forums are paying for their 18" tyres...

-D

    • Just had a look, they don't. Fuelling on the base map is purely alpha-N, and the ignition table is MAP. Remember it's just a base map to get the car moving  
    • Hi everyone, I’m Dave from Canberra. Here's a few pics of my 1992 R32 GTST coupe which I imported back in 2006. Only mods so far are HKS Hi-power cat back exhaust, K&N filter, ATC Volanti steering wheel, Pioneer stereo, amp and sub. This was my daily driver up until 2015 and sadly hasn’t been driven at all in the last 5 years due to marriage, work, and kids taking up most of my time and spare cash.As such its in need of a bit of TLC and one of my goals for this year is to get it back to running condition and maybe look into club/historic rego. I’ve joined SAU so I can ask a few questions along the way (although I promise to google Current Problem +SAU beforehand!)
    • From talking to the mx5 guys the NC doesn't actually need bonnet vents like the earlier NA and NB models, due to a better designed cooling system and undertray design There's plenty of them used as street cars and weekend track toys running anywhere from around 170 to 250kw with stock non vented bonnets, I initially was going to get some bonnet vents, but, as they are not actually required, I'll put vents on hold for a while and just monitor temps, though I do need to get something to actually monitor engine oil temps though, coolant temp can be pulled from the OBD2, but the oil gauge in the car is not actual oil temp, it is only a calculation based off coolant temp and RPM ☹️ They do recommend upgrading the radiator, which I have already done with a triple pass, and the only other thing they recommend for a street car is heat management, like I talked about above to protect bits in the engine bay from radiant heat, and to either replace the nearly 20 year old plastic coolant expansion tank, which I have done, or get a aftermarket alloy jobbie for some bling They did also say that if I wanted to track the car on occasion a oil cooler and sump baffle would be required, and as I already have had a sump baffle installed when the engine was out......... I'm going to get a oil cooler with a thermostat....... just in case I do eventually track the car, but probably not, but still maybe...🤪
