Dude if you are looking at spending a reasonable amount for the types why dont you just go buy new ones and if you want them to drift go burn them up for like 4 - 5 mins untill they are smooth enough for ya.....

be a heap quicker...

If u are after tyres, there is only one place to head to in melbourne.

North End Tyres

14a carrick Drive,

Tullamarine.

I needed new rear tyres for my r33......after a quick ring around to local tyre shops (tyremen, bob jane rah rah) they were quoting me $500 minimum on 265/r18/35's. F*CK THAT i thought. . . at those prices i'd have to drive my car around with the metal radial belts hanging out for the next few months

From north end i scored myself some 285 (yep thats rite 285) R18/30 Pirelli Pzeros with 85% tread for $150 each fitted. So cheap I can actually afford to burn em up now!

Head down there, its in tullamarine so a bit of a drive, maybe $10 in petrol but damn worth it. Second hand tyres but in tip top condition, plenty of tread and NOT RETREADS.

Tomorow im gunna go buy 2X 225/50/16". Any tips before i get them? which brand should i get?

Currently i have some Yokohama GP *(Grand Prix or whatever)*.

I think im gunna keep the ones i have on the front as they seem *OK* .

I dont wanna spend more then 100$ fitted for two tyres of that size ...

gotta know which ones to get thou :dump:

BTW Marcus, was following you along Spring Street today in the track car but had to cut through the city.

Where's the honk? Clean huh? washed it yesterday :rofl: Was i motoring?

REDFC - they're the ones I have... i can get some pics tonight if you want :rofl:

Laurence, if there the type of Tyres Ronin has, will they be legal for a track day ?

Well depending on what he means by 30% then definitely yes.

Tyres have to be pretty much showing their belts before you will get rejected.

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
    • I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?
