I have also been looking at Hankooks, anyone tell me much about these?  Ive heard they're slightly better than Falkens (the reason i like Falken's is ive had them on my GTS for a year and still have people asking if they're brand new - and i drive it A LOT)

got a pair of hankooks for $325ish each.. 18x265x35.. they're alot better than the sumitomos i had before.. dunno how they compare to falkens tho

See Shane at Vic Park Tyre and Brake. Hes a good lad. He has a habit of cutting through the crap and telling you whats good and bad. Generally Falkens rate pretty highly in his books.

Ive had 3 sets of Falkens on 3 different cars, all good. But these Azenis ive got on my current 18's are starting to get a little loose despite only being 50 percent worn. A symptom my brother also seemed to get on the same set of tyres on his 180SX.

Better than Nankangs, Toyo's, Kuhmo's and most Dunlops any day of the week and thrice on Sundays tho!

Also never had a problem with most Yokohama's ive used.

Edit: Oh also had a set of Hankook Ventus Plus on my old SSS Pulsar... they had trouble keeping 100kw on the road, never mind 200! Useless.

    • Do the R32s run high or low impedance injectors?
    • It may not feel like it to your wallet....but sounds like this was one of those "lucky you did it" rebuilds. Hopefully you have better luck this time
    • It's aftermarket. It also reeks of Honda Civic tryhard from 2003. But if you want one....then you want one.
    • Well some mostly good news and some slight bad news.  Good news is cylinder 6 did in fact only require a honing and I'm good to run my 86.5mm pistons again. I should also get the block back by end of week. Bad news, had a few surprises pop up. First, main and rod bearings were trashed. No sign of any heat damage. I knew right away what caused this... I had not packed my oil pump originally and spent a lot more time than I would have liked cranking the motor to get oil pressure. It sounded fine once started so I chucked it up to luck and forgot about it. Luckily rod and crank are fine and just need new bearings. Engine builder agreed that this was the cause.    Another surprise that carbon covered up very well that I didn't catch, something got sucked up and went through cylinder 1, 2 and 3. Luckily this was no cause for concern, just needed a bit of cleaning up. Valves look fine but he will vacuum test the head this week to confirm. I'm presuming this was something left over from welding my intercooler piping, but we'll never know. I'm going to thoroughly reclean everything.    So all in all, happy the motor is fine, and I'll get it back much sooner than expected. I'll also be taking the time to convert my WMI system over to direct port. I'll snap some pictures of that when the parts come in. 
    • I understand, thanks. Yeah I wouldn't want the car to tip over, I'll try and use the sills, I don't want to risk smashing the chassis rails. I ordered some rubber pucks that have a hopefully big enough slotting. If the front right gives me trouble I can always just make a wood block. I'll measure and inspect the sills closer once I actually take the car up. I hope so, but the rubber blocks I had in hand so far were pretty damn firm, if they are that hard they won't give much way. I'll let you know what happens. Angle grinding rubber isn't one of my favorite tasks. I'll probably start a build thread soon, for my own documentation and "log" as well as sharing what's going on with the car.
