I'm liking the Kumho KU31's, read a bunch of reviews and looked at the price. I think they are the ones for me

Its getting to the wet season here (6 months of rain incoming ><) and everyone says these hold well so i think they are a winner.

Cheers guys. I will see if the local blokes can get them. (They get really p***y when you bring your own tyres and wheels to them... and charge you so much for fitting, small towns ftw?)


Cheers guys!


E: So pedders just got back to me... They want $1200 (inc freight) for front and rear shocks and springs (standard height but stiffer)...
I can get coilovers from the mob on here for $1040...

Decisions decisions... I dont want second hand cause im over dealing with other people problems. (got enough in the car)

Those were different days, boys.

As for tyres i prefer Kumho KU31 to Bridgestone RE001s. Better dry and wet grip and cheaper too

?? What you mean different days??
That was the 1955 le mans disaster you were talking of wasnt it?

I get ku36 semi slicks for $600 a set fitted crappish in the wet though....but hectic in the dry

Stickers are old technology.

We don't have rego stickers anymore.

I wouldn't buy pedders again. They're shit.

Gotta love having a 4cyl, Rego so cheap now compared to my previous 6cyls.

Really?
Do you have anything of the sort?
Or the Cop Cars just scan the plates to see if you have paid rego?

[Delete This Account]

They just scan your plates and look it up on their computer.

racing, car safety and track design have come a long way but the biggest change has been in attitude. Before corporations got involved in racing deaths were seen as a risk you took. And why not? They had just gotten out of two world wars where millions died, so whats a driver here or there?

Local blokes will rape you on price of KU31's unless they a Kumho specific dealers. KU31's do handle the wet well, also have a good life in them when driving on country roads, including gravel. I have KU31's on all my cars at some point, no point having anything softer on country roads.

I use the same guys in my small town over and over again for alignment/balance and fitting - when I show him the price I get my tyres for off the net, he understands I'd be crazy to buy through him. You would still save a packet, and keep the smiles all round, by taking in a sixer of something cold and wet and book for a Friday.

Do the dance.

I agree.

They died heroes instead of being labelled a result of tragedy, and the hammer for a knee jerk reaction into different camber on a particular corner.

We're too sensitive.

I think I might be too.

Those days haven't exactly left us though, have they?

I watched Wheldon live, and then saw Simoncelli live as well. Chilling. So close together as well.

RIP to both of them.

[Alex]

Yeah Nik.


You ARE too sensitive. Especially when it comes to the proud manhood event called "tea bagging".

HTFU princess!

There needs to be more of it.


When you're in Sydney next, and passed out intoxicated.....


Oh yeah.

I'm looking at YOUR forehead.

Anyone think the A10GP is going to get off the ground?

Seems pretty unlikely to me.

I loved A1GP. Actually overtaking in open wheelers!! YORR!!!

But since it died in the arse, the replacement A10GP has been all ifs and buts.

:/

Wow, kinda wish i bought that now

[skillionaire]

My B4 had the dodgiest Brandt known to man!

Worse still, the dealership never informed me that I was meant to fill out that stupid fuckin' ownership card, so when my mechanic left the windows down and the battery went flat (**** knows how that is actually a thing) and I required a master code - they launched a police investigation into a stolen vehicle.

Nice one!

On a related level of annoyance.

Seatbelt alarm.

....can I just rip the plug out, or will it fudgepack something else along the line? Both for '05 OBK and '11 Foz
