How many have you got?

Is that $200 for the lot?

Exactly which Dunlops are they?

When were they last used?

Where have they been stored since then?

Can you post up a pic showing the tread condition?

I know it seems like a lot of questions but I looked at buying some not long back and when I saw them they were crap even though advertised as good usable tyres.

Am very interested as I need some before the 8th of November when my next Club Day is scheduled.

Anyone???

Your kidding right?? :banana:

I have been waiting and waiting for you to come back with the info you said you were getting.

Been to Launnie twice since then, once for a club day.

Your welcome to em Funz.

I'll just buy brand new ones for next year, did a clutch in the GTR on Sunday anyway.

what more info do u want there compound m2r dunlop semi's

they sell for nearly 2g new i want 200 bucks for them they heaps off tread left u there 17's

they come off a front running targa A class car only stopped using them cause he went to 18's done one race meeting i think

there isn't that much difference in a 235 to 245

M2 are a medium compound.

ideal for club days and hill climbs. they would offer exceptional grip in the wet too. not suited for long distance like targa and alike.

i have some that i will be using this weekend and i have used them before.

ive always brought second hand semies and compared to $600 each $50 is cheap. cheaper than you would ever get a set of used road tyres for.

if your to tight to buy $50 tyres for your race car than youll never buy new ones. we flat spotted a brand new one once and it stuffed the tyre $600 good bye.

Who said anything about being to tight to buy second hand tyres?

I ran second hand ones this year while chasing starting tyre pressures and the like. I also knew my alignment wasn't right but until I get some adjustable arms couldnt do anything about it so didnt want to trash new tyres.

I was more than happy to travel down and buy these tyres once I knew what the tyres were. There are 3 different patterns available in the tarmac rally tyres made by Dunlop, I was unable to find any on the Dunlop site in the Semi range in that size.

    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
    • You can probably scrub the rust with a toothbrush or something. After you get the rust off flush well with water to neutralize and you will probably want to also use a fuel tank sealer to keep it from rusting again.
    • The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:
