$107/each fitted (in QLD) for 235/45/r17 Achilles Sports (supposed to be very good for the price)

anyone know of anybody in tas who can get deals like that?

(this was from Japanese parts and performance on the gold coast)

[Funz]

theres a guy down south of hobart, "laurrie loves tyres" who ive heard is real good on prices, helps a lot of drifters out with tyres. look him up on fb

[jangles]

rubber bob in deloraine!!,

but usually cheap tyres are that for a reason, fine for most normal driving though!

[Burgz32]

Just in the process of sliping the motor back into the R.

then make up a few oil cooler line's,fuel line's, fire thold girl up.

then strip the inside of her out, then off the Chris Tanner @ Performance Fabrication

for a full cage,

Then into the spray booth at Robayne/Optimum coating's for a fresh lick of paint.

quick tune at Pro Auto and back on the road hopfully...

easy way to spend $7-10G's in a few month's!!!

A decent amount of stuff happened with my car over the last few weeks.

Had a knocking noise the other day as I pulled into the driveway, which turned into a horrible rattle/scraping noise the next time I started it. Had my mechanic over and he thought it could be the timing idler/tensioner coming loose, but it turns out it was the harmonic balancer wobbling around and it was rubbing against the engine.

It had eaten out the keystone on the crankshaft and created a lip in front of the timing gear, and because it had arsed up the crank a bit we were worried it may have screwed up the timing gear or it's key stone/area on the crank as well. Ended up pulling it all down and replacing the water pump, crankshaft seal, timing belt (with a full new kit) and a new crank timing gear because we ended up drilling the other one off a bit early for the timing service, but meh.

In slightly more awesome news, I got my new QFM AR1M brake pads the other day, just need to get the rotors machined and get them in now Also, my car has a few goodies stolen off Veeto's poor car now, the 3.5" exhaust system and the rear strut brace. She's running a lot tighter and louder.

[DJRIFT]

finally after 3 months or so of ben and i tinkering ive got my streeter running sweet. best its run since i got it just in time to go to a new home. haha

ive had a battle as the cause of my problems was multiple sensors. one was just masking the next.

ive always had a thing against selling cars just once you get them sorted but i can see how the frustration can cause people to just want to see the back of a car.

i can now garentee it will go smoothly for the next owner.
