well. for one though, i have nfi how much it is to just freight car over to tassie. Would be heaps easier to freight car over, fly over, collect car, drive around, freight car back, and then fly back. Sure you'll be left with no car for awhile, but really, launceston and hobart are pretty small. Walkable if you ask me.

Though. Due to time constraints, wasn't able to sample some hervey bay scallops and lobsters. =(

it is

255 for a 9, 295 for a 10.

you can go less, tyres have a few different sized wheels they can fit, to be legal the load rating must be correct. But as I said you can put a 225 on a 9" legally

Put a Do Luck kit on it and leave the suspension stock too.

LOL!!!

make sure it's got heaps of power too so it's a really dangerous car to drive

235 on a 9 is usually a stretch, but perfectly drivable and legal. A 245 is a very slight stretch; 255 is a flat wall; 265 a very slight bubble. But it changes from tyre to tyre too, as I have seen some 235 that appear as wide as 255 and vice versa.

You really gotta look at the tyre manufacturer's website to see what range they recommend putting their tyre sizes on.

Iv got 265's on 10.5inch wheels, very little stretch. But as you said depending on manufacturer as advan 265 ad08 appear much wider than the khumo 265 I replaced, the profile appears different too even tho dimensions are identical.

    • For what it's worth (I'd never looked at the button closely enough to work out it has a person on it!) with the switch 'active' double-pressing the unlock on the remote will cause lights to turn on. As I recall it will cycle through plain-unlock, unlock-with-park-lights and unlock-with-headlights as you repeatedly double-press unlock.
    • I'm not defending Haltech. They had some golden years, but their history of problem products goes back a loooong time before that and now. My bro-in-law swore off them 15 years ago. Same stuff. Firmware bugs, patchy tech support complete with total ignorance of what was going on. Doesn't mean that there are not 5 or 6 other excellent options - most of which were also born in Australia.
    • mines a bit too fresh of a build, need to put more km on it before im ballsy enough to go further
    • I agree their STREET is limited in features, but both their RACE and PRO models have everything you could possibly need (I.E Knock, Built in EGT, Built in Wideband, Dual DBW, etc.) It's also cheaper in comparison with anything Haltech has to offer and more importantly from what I hear it actually works well.  I'm a little bias these days as Haltech has really turned into a pile of poop lately.. I don't know what's happening with their firmware team but I'm thinking it's outsourced and their cutting costs. There's always massive bugs, they're not doing any testing, there's no revision control (I.E They acknowledged a few months back that they accidently released an unfinished firmware). It feels like they're being run by bean counters vs actual software & electrical engineers. They seem to be to busy releasing new products as opposed to fixing software issues. As of 2-3 weeks ago they started a beta program to presumably op the rest of the end users out of unwillingly testing firmware's. I'm happy they're starting to listen to all the complaints. Hopefully it gets better fast. 
    • Any plans to seal it from the cabin? It will throw plenty of oil/grime over the years. On my auto to manual Stagea there is a custom ally sheet  to cover most of the hole then the standard rubber seal is attached to that to join to the shifter
