Agree with the above. My $hitbox BA is nothing special but it's time to beat up on it a bit!! Going to be bulk fun!

[Boganspeed]

Heh you're probably right but I'd probably be only wanting to do one day and $250 for one day is a bit rich for my blood.

I know a shop that sold me 235/45/17's for $100 each.

kelly charger GT they were incase anybodies interested.

Don't expect no grip in the wet either hahaha!

I've gone through so many sets of cheapo tyres I'm thinking about writing up a review haha.

Hell yeah!

I gotta say though, I much preferred destroying good tyres such as conti sport contact 3's that I put on and only got a weeks driving out of (~1500km).

Now I'm enjoying tyres from all sorts of brands I've never heard of.

Only regret is not spending some of the thousands of dollars I've spent on tyres over this year on more maintenance/repair tasks as everything came up at once and really hit the wallet hard. I've still got more to fix as the focus has mainly been on the front end of the car! It's had like $4000 worth of non-performance modifcation related repairs in the past 4-5 weeks (BA falcon problems).

Yeah, the car drives really spot on lately for once so I'd love to. I'll post in the next cruise thread. I wish I coulda come to the cruise that met up at kardinya shops as I'm 5 minutes away from there.

So nice having brakes that don't shudder anymore! Brake booster was the answer to all the problems.

Okay f*ck it, I'm in. Probably Saturday and maybe Sunday if it's super awesome.

The young bloke can come and have a drive too, that'll make his day.

So Chris, what's the norm with wheels and tyres?

Do people just swap between road tyres and bag up tyres?

Will you be taking a jack? I have a battery rattle gun and can bring a jack and put some $100 tyres on my BA rims.

[mummba]

nice!! I knew I could conjure up some enthusiasm in here!!

theres only one driver per car unless you buy a whole other entry ticket... yep that's right fekn sh!t ey!!

though will be sik! can just swap out rims and tyres before you head out, your rattle gun will be super handy

if the weather permits I will be camping, will have a jack and hopefully a good spot to store some stuff...

you will want to bring some good tyres also to do some chopping
