I am converting my race car from 17" rims to 18" rims to accomodate a new monster brake kit and to help (a little) with gearing on a V8 conversion.

These 114.3 x 5 (RX-7, GTR, 200SX, Soarer, Supra, Falcon, FPV etc) rims fit over 4 piston brakes but will not fit over my new Monster 6 Piston AP brakes, so I am selling them all

I hope it is not confusing but thread rules state one thread in FS only

Here goes:

RIMS:

Rays Engineering Payton Place Silver Arrow 3 Piece alloys.

VERY strong. Ideal for race use. Jump ripple strips all day with confidence.

I have 4x 17"x 8" and 4x 17" 9 "so you can have two sets of staggered 8/9" or one set of 8" and one set of 9" if you buy both sets

8" $400 the set ($100 each)

9" $750 the set ($175 each)

I also have a set of 4x 17" x 9" +22 offset Yokohama Advan Rims. They are composite lightweight 9" rims powder coated red. $750 the set ($175 each)

TYRES:

Pirelli 225 62 17 wets bought new from Trofeo in 2008. The wets have done only 8 laps in the wet just to remove the green. Mike Navybox at Wakefield was witness to their running in and supervised me doing so. Call him for verification. They are perfect wets. BETTER THAN NEW BECAUSE THE GREEN HAS BEEN REMOVED TO MAKE THEM RAIN RACE READY. Rare item. Who sells new wets this cheap?

Never been raced on. IT KILLS ME TO SELL THESE. Always stored indoors in black bags. Very soft. They were incredibly grippy when I ran them in in October 2009. Reportedly "the best wet rain race tyres money can buy". And that's a quote from a guy/supplier of mine who is sponsored by Michelin but uses Pirelli wets. Wets $1200 the set. A Bargain

...............................

4x Pirelli slicks 245 620 17" used for one weekend only. Two heat cycles. $600 the set. These 4 slicks were purchased new for the W300 in November 2008 and were used in Qualifying and the first hour only as we changed all four tyres at the first pit stop. Still very usable. Always stored in black bags indoors. They never got mounted on the car in 2009 because I never made it to a race start and I use other rims/tyres for transport and practice

................................

4x Pirelli slicks 245 620 17" (Y Advan set) also bought new for the W300 so not old. However they have about half wear and have been used on the vehicle (mounted on Red Advan rims) to transport it on and off trailer and used to "run in" three stupid 13B engines (that blew before racing). Not stored in plastic bags but stored actually on the car in the garage so not as good as the other set. $250 the set ($75 each).

............................

Pick up from Windsor NSW (On main road between Airport and Bathurst) or if you want to get your courier I can co-operate. I am going to Bathurst and can take them up there if anyone wants next week but payment or at least a deposit first. Space is limited. Delivery arranged anywhere with TNT. Good rate.

what is the condition of the advan rims? do you have any good pics you could post?

Very sorry.

I only just found this post.

Stupid me cannot figure out how to subcscribe to this thread.

I can only find how to subscribe to the whole For Sale forum, and my inbox gets innundated.

Anyhow I will post some pics up.

From memory 3 are perfect and one has some minor scratches around edge from a ripple strip

They were powdercosted in November 2008 and hardly used.

My email is [email protected]

    • True, might get it looked at. Found out you can in fact flatten the 12v battery relatively easily too the other day (kids lefts the hazards on) so meaning to get that checked in the new year. What's odd is it'll blow cold from both vents if you have the ac down as low as poss (18), but anything else the passenger one blows warmish. Also has been summer since I got it obvs but noticed it didn't seem to want to blow hot last night when we had a cold snap. 
    • You ask for things. You specifically state you want responsiveness. A link was provided for a far superior, more responsive option. Find a MX5 workshop that will install it for you. Maybe MX5 Mania will throw on the Fab9 kit. It seems they want to charge almost 14K installed for their kit, so if they charge you $6K to install the FAB9 kit then you'll be ahead? Though really, the 2.5 with a 2860 running low boost will more or less feel as good as anything else. It's a lot of displacement and a small turbo. Think of a more modern RB26 with one stock turbo :p TBH, truth be told I've been driving my own car, and use about 50% throttle at most for 99.9% of the time. Mr Bogan is likely similar so this is all going to be semantics for the use case he actually has. (He'll be happy with anything relative to now) However, the EFR is hands down far superior in this use case. You really, really, really, really do notice it over the Garrett or equivalent.  
    • You are correct, the earlier the torque, the earlier things snap
    • Gents, it will be getting the MX5 Mania kit and the 2.5 will be staying where it is My query was about the 0.64 or the 0.86, whilst the 0.64 might spool a bit faster, would the 0.86 be better IRT EGT and mechanical sympathy, with only a small difference in spool And as I assume I won't need alot of boost to get to 200kw, probably around 10 psi, and with max rpm at 6500, would high EGT even really be a issue with a 0.64 I'm heading into MX5 Mania at the end of Jan to discuss the install, so any info is welcome prior to that Basically have a chat and book a time so they can throw on the turbo kit, and fit a oil cooler with a thermostat, drive in drive out of course  In other news: just finished cleaning the car inside and out, it's now all ready to get covered in bugs and dirt driving to Goulburn tomorrow to lunch,  and go for a stroll along woolondilly River with the daughter and her boy, and of course, visit my grandcats and my new grandpuppy 
    • Sounds like it has an actual problem with mode select doors, or something.
