There is a picture on Google of 275s on the back.

You can pick up nangkang ns2 255 semis for less than 150 each fitted.

 

I went from 3rd gear power skids on stock tyres to having traction mostly. The semis still fry second when they're cold but with hot tyres and a full tank of fuel they just slip a bit till about 80kph.

ill be following this up! Thanks mate :)

Nankangs are terrible!!! I had the NS2 non semi slick ones and they were the sh*ttest tyre I've ever experienced in my life. Straight out dangerous

Agree I had a set no real grip in the dry and aqua plan heaven in the wet good if you like going side ways everywhere.

Yep 100%. They were great for lols and making your car feel way more powerful than what it is.

Can't fault em for durabilty though..

Virtually indestructable. The tyre shop asked me if I wanted em back when I finally changed em out cos there was still plenty of tread.. I said no way man you could probably sell em again as new

I have the 5 speed manual and am basically waiting for it to break, albeit with stock power. It gets thrashed on the track so I'm surprised it has been holding up. I do heel toe on downshifts so I'm not sure if that's helping with the longevity or not.

Anyway I'm with everyone else. Don't get a BA if you want more power straight away.

 

Took a 04 5speed manual and a 03 4speed auto for a test drive from a dealer told him I wanted to compare the difference the manual was a bit dare. He told me the usual it's rare a had this and that blah blah any way. I took them for a drive and I'm sold on the manual comparing just transmissions I know there weak. I'm not going to buy that one cause its like twice the price of what I can pick up if I look hard enough. My question is when it does give me troubles is a 6speed manual swap straight forward or is it going to be sell the car and but a 6spd story?. Thanks Guys
