T1-R's without question, good all rounders, and the right price. As for fitting costs we charge £12.50inc pw as a guide.
Cheers Tony I'll get the booked up. Is that 12.50 if the wheels are off, or doesn't it really matter ?

Hi there first of all not been on here for ages so hello to all LoL
Right down to business, the missus has gone away travelling for 2 and half months so i've got the car to borrow, typical straight away some problems tyres looking pretty low so looking for some new tyres. Gonna do all 4 as its pulling to the left and the left front keeps going down so to try and eliminate any problems in the future though I'd get them all done at the same time, then get tracking/geo done.
Was looking for reasonable budget-ish tyres most site looking at £120-150 for 4 tyre but then found 4 Toyo T1-R's on ebay for £115 with free delivery.
Found here
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/195-50-15-TOYO-PROXE...:1|293:1|294:50
Also found some Yokohama's for similar money.
The tyres on the car are 195/50/15's and guessing there the ones needed, its the slightly sportier SR model so slightly lower profile, with a fair width.
Really asking what would people recommend as I've not had to buy tyres for a car for goooooooodness knows how long (although been reading lots about bike tyres recently). I was under the impression the T1-R's where pretty good as people were using them as wet tyres in the Nippon Challenge last year.
Also gonna take all the wheels off and take to local garage to get tyres changed and balanced what am I looking at price wise per tyre ???
Any advice would be great

200SX S13 Drift
Wheels caused some issues with 11" wide front and 13" rear.
Nice looking powerhouse
And the wastegate is very Mad max
This cars pretty mental, think its the Rb26 they put in the making well over 500hp and the screamer pipe is insanly noisy.
Im liking the supra's toooo

What engine and gearbox oil would you recommend for
Toyota
1JZ GTE 2.5 litre (soarers, chasers)
1996
Big Single turbo from a truck
Track use only
Gear box is the R154
-
I wonder if anyone has done a matt black engine bay, lol.
Gold plated would be a bit different as well.
Theres a nissan primera with a gold engine cover 23 caret i think.
I like the new camo samco hoses bit cavvy but its a cool idea.

We get loads of men driving them down here but theres loads of hair saloons and it is also brighton
coooeeeee lol -
S2000 for the win LoL Got one of the best engines out there, might not be great for her but i'm sure you'll like it much more than a MX5, dont let her be the "typical" woman and get a MX5 (no offence Janey
) persuade her to be different and get the S2k -

You should do this to it. 420z with over 700hp
-
wow......
wow
erm wow, how the hell you going to get all that power through the front wheels...how is the gearbox going to cope?
did i say WOW
congratulations
traction is a little problematic !
is fine right up until the boost starts kicking in
Kaaz LSD going in soon
poly engine mounts will be the next job
gearbox seems fine so far, handily I know where some spare ones live
Think he was taking the p**s out of the Ibiza Lol.
Hes spent 3 years on it so im guessing most bits including tranny have been uprated, i do agree though putting 460hp through the front wheel is a little excessive.
typically mat's humour went over my head
Its not hard LoL Any idea if that chap wants the FCON ?
-
I will probably get beaten up for saying this, but what about some of the amazing diesel engines that are out now?
Loads of torque, good levels of improved refinement and with a remap possible to get get good gains. I volunteer the BMW M57N which when it came out in 2003 was miles better then the equivalent Audi or Merc offerings.
The new BMW diesel engines fitted into the 335d, 535d, 635d is also mightily impressive. Twin turbo diesel, 286bhp stock and then remappable quite safely to 340 - 350bhp and over 520ft/lb torque and will do 40mpg!
Petrol wise I would say the Aristo/Supra 2JZ or the engine in the Skyline. The 2litre block in the Mitsubishi Evo range is impressive too.
I have to agree, Diesel engines have only had around half the development time of the pertol engine so i think that we'll be seeing some really meaty performance degals out soon (Audi R10 or whatever its called), just ashame they dont rev so much, apparently honda are trying to develop a Vtec degal so tthat migth even happen aswel.
Strange thought but Desiel F1 maybe ??? LoL

Not sure if posting this will work but o well. Saw this and it reminded me of the tartlet LoL. At the time of video it had 3 up and there all big lads.

whats wrong with the TDI bit, and which prolex bit
do the rear adjustable lower control arms as well
Mine are on the shelf ready to ship BTW
Dave could you send me a super doooooper price for both via pm please.
Matt Stavs right price is a big issue with the TDi piece, i know they probably put alot of time into it but at the end of the day all it is, is a hex bar with a couple of rose joints on each end and £325 + vat is half a turbo from my eyes
-
Looks good.... very good..
With the wheels, spacers, lowering, track you have already duffed up the oem adjusters.... I hope you intend to install some aftermarket kits so i can calibrate the chassis unhindered.
I was thinking i might need to but are there any apart from the TDi bit and prolex's new one ? Might have to make a few bits our self.
-
Well a few little updates. Tony your gonna have fun with the geo on this. We got given some free TRD supra wide arch fenders so will probably be chopping these up and putting these on so then i can cut the metal arch so i can get the car lower, but im guessing there will be a limit i can go to without recovering the geo side of things ?? Is that right Tony ?
As you can see they stick out a little LoL
Fronts
Rears
Fronts are also going to have spacers on not much about 5 - 10mm gonna need those 2 inch wide arches
We're also in the process of doing 2 other cars, both nissans one with a CA18 anohter with a SR20 seen here mocked up with intake and fuel rail, just after giving it a clean. This engine will be going in a R32 skyline, most of the S13 stuff just bolts striaght across which is saving lots of time.
Also painted the engine bay white
went from this first coat of primer
To this, after 4 coats of primer and 3 top gloss white and lots of boring rubbing down in between
Just waiting on some engine mounts (bit that bolts to the block) and some parts from the US

Ive got an FCON for sale if you need it
Actually the plugs might jsut swap straight over , not sure ?
Sounds pretty good if you ask me, that getting on to 300bhp per ton isnt it ?
Doddys car magically stopped boosting the other day so i think race is off ,we're guessing actuators broken or snapped turbine shaft, either way its engine out
I think the next step will be to swap over to the Motec ecu !
far superior to the hks, and far more mappers available
Doddy scared off was he !!
Nope he was really up for it, he came back from golf the other day and was going fine then nout nothing nudda no boost at all im just hoping its the actuator thats snapped/failed whatever as if the turbo's fooked its not good as it had a fulllllll over hall before being put back on the car and its was mega bucks.
Now yours can go so fast you'll need some good brakes barry
give me a shout if you want some of the good stuff hmmmm carbon -

turbos are not really worth that much as they are...
you wont be able to use the set up as it is as it will foul the steering column
Well that make up my mind for me then, any one need a pair of C12 turbos LoL
-
you keeping the factory turbos..?
Not sure was going to put them on and just get it going but might just get the big single on there straight away save taking them all off.
What are the turbo's worth ? They are like new the engines only done 30 odd thousand.
-
Well chaps here she is, been sitting in the garden for a litte while hence the rust.
Its bloomin big and freckin heavy but i love her already
The turbos have ZERO play in there like new its crazy.
My new favorite picture is this

Looks nice that S13.
A worthy investment is a hydro handbrake, but if you want it to pass mot you'll need a handbrake that stays on.
I was looking at getting those GTR's there bloomin lovely.
Random question what happened to the original s13 shell ?
Still have it, the engine is chocolate but there is a newly built engine in there with Wiseco pistons and a brand new turbo, except something is a miss with it, the engine wont fire up and I couldnt afford any more labour time for the garage to keep working on it to find what the issue was so I pulled the car out and its been sat at home since.......you interested then
Friends got a S13 mechanically fine but shell is rotting to bits so would only really be interested in that for us to re-shell when he either smashes it up on the race track or it falls to bits LoL.
PM me with price for the whole car or if you would be willing to split, just the shell ?
Cheers
Matt i thought most of the pro's used the hydro handbrake and when i was at the DWYB day loads of people had them there, I thought it work pretty much exactly the same (as in you yank it to lock the rear wheels LoL) but its just a lot more powerful ?
