Tocchi Sandtrap Motorsport Donating Members 2,055 Member For: 16y 1m 4d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 01/03/16 01:39 PM Share Posted 01/03/16 01:39 PM You heard any good things about those zestino or whatever name it is? The cheap ones with a 'soft' compound (140 treadwear I think?). Or is westlake and them really only good for drifters I.e. they smoke up well Wouldn't touch them. Most likely cheap tyres using old 'major tyre brand' tread patterns that are now obsolete. (Eg: ku31 pattern) I've used cheaper tyres at the track before, and called it a night after under 10 laps ... 4 wheel slide under 90kmh, this was with 275s on the back. Utter rubbish. Waste of a night, waste of prep, waste of money. Spend the money on quality brand name performance tyres and you won't waste money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if these dark argents he is selling with bad tyres were fitted to the car he is now selling http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/perth-cbd/wheels-tyres-rims/2x-fpv-20-dark-argent-wheels-ba-bf-fg-xr6-xr8/1105922707 The more I look the more I want to save and get something brand new :( In regards to tyres, I still wonder why nobody has tried out the continentals, some people have complained about weaker sidewalls (I never had an issue) but my favorites were the conti sport contact 3 on my old mercury ba turbo. I may or may not have mentioned that I spotted it cruising along a few weeks ago with brembo brakes on 18s or 19s which was kinda nice......It does makes me wonder where the owners priorities are because they neglected to fix the $2600 worth of panel damage I caused to the car and have caused more damage to the other side.

Posted 07/03/16 10:05 AM Share Posted 07/03/16 10:05 AM So for those that have fitted their Earl's turbo oil line filter already, is the heat shielding sleeve long enough as per the photo in the ad or should I order some extra? What brand and type would I need? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/FORD-FG-TURBO-STEALTH-OIL-LINE-FILTER-KIT-EARLS-AEROFLOW-XR6-FPV-F6-FALCON-G6-/181191281689?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2a2fd78c19 Also roughly how many of these hose separators should I get, I want a clean look, no cable ties, as I assume with the heat, the cable ties would eventually perish and come apart. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/AEROFLOW-BLACK-BILLET-DUAL-HOSE-SEPARATOR-I-D-1-2-12-7mm-AF156-08BLK-/400749180150?hash=item5d4e8334f6:g:umoAAOSwd4tT1z56 Thanks.
