On this topic, what's the name of the big Toyo distributor in Sydney? I remember speaking to a guy who bought some and told me that Toyo Trampio's are extra cheap in a certain size (was either 15X7 or 16X7) cause they are the control tyre for the mirage cup or daewoo cup or similar and that this place buys them by the shedload? They're pretty good tyres too.

I would love to know to pls. I used to have a set on the back 225/50/16 but i discovered a bubble on the inside of one, so i will have to ditch that one.

Yeah, that was the gist of it. Apparently there is a place here in Sydney that imported all these 205X16 (or maybe it was 205X15) trampios, and you can now get 'em pretty cheap. Perfect for my little GTI-R. I just can't for the life of me remember where the hell the place is or the name.

So the question stands, does anyone know the name of the place that imports trampios in Sydney?

Richard, I don't know who the importer was, but the Mirage series organiser was Bill O'Gorman, I'm sure he could tell you who it was [email protected]. When I checked it out I'm pretty sure they moved to Falken in 2003 so ur info may be out of date...

    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 😛
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
    • February update 🙂 We managed to get the very last 1/18th "Extra Scale" cars stock available from bookstores in Kyoto. These are actually the last ones and will not be restocked again! Hachette Collections Japan have not decided on a release date for these or other models in the series, so for the time being these are all there are available new.  These are showing up on Yahoo auctions at inflated prices already (especially the Celica and NSX) so get yours now at a very reasonable price before they disappear!
