How much are the Khumo's at Option 1?

Going from memory (it may be the other way round) in my sizes (215/45/17 and 235/45/17) it was something like:

595SS => F $110, R $120

KU31 => F $120, R $110

595RS-R => F $180, R $180 (on special)

Prices per tyre, plus fitting ($5-$15ea depending on if you want them balanced or not, and if they are on a car or loose wheels)

So in those sizes, the SSs and KU31s end up exactly the same price for a set of 4.

You want round phat black babys ? :O

Round phat black sticky babys :thumbsup:

Whilst the khumo might stick a tad better than the feddy SS just remember the SS will run rings around it in terms of mileage.

As an allrounder I still rate the feddy.

I'm not finding that. My last khumos lasted about a year. The SSs look like shagging out in about the same ballpark.

The SSs might have more meat left in the center when I'm done with them, but that doesn't help me if the edges are on belts :P

You're doin it wrong. :whistling:

There's nothing more I can do to reduce the camber wear on the rear. Its the nature of the datto-spec IRS. I have already spent a small fortune getting the base camber reduced as much as I can, but its still a tad over 2 degress, and it's still going to camber the f*ck up when it squats.

I could change the alignment on the fronts to make the tyres last better, but why bother when the rears wear out faster anyway? I like to keep the camber high enough to balance the rears, and I like a little toe out.

Ahem...cough cough.... GET A 33.

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

This could explain the stormtrooper walking down st pauls terrace with a suitcase this afternoon.

You guys should drive thongslappin' fords and holdens, you only need a good tyre on one side at the rear to get traction in the wet!

Epic night!

Ben (Homo) should get on here more often, then he would have something to do while waiting for his girlfriend to get really smashed at a work function

tears.

Very much so :(

The choice of who to but it from came down to two stores

Store A was slightly more expensive, but their website seemed more professional and they responded to emails quicker. They also guaranteed my phone would be shipped as part of their first batch of stock.

Store B was a bit cheaper, and they weren't sure how much stock they were getting in the first batch so couldn't guarantee they would have enough.

I went with Store A... Store B ended up with a truckload of stock, and worked through the public holiday and got almost all theirs shipped on tuesday. It seems most people who ordered from there's phones are in china already.

Store A has been dicking around, posting blog updates and emails on how hard their life is and how many orders they have to get through, and they hope to have them all shipped by the end of the week!

Backed the wrong horse... :(

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
