Lies, no girls on the internets.

:mrgreen:


Not true, lots of girls on the webnet, but usually they don't have many clothes on and tend not to hang around car forums. :D :D

Nicky if you do get new tyres I might be interested in chucking you a few bucks for your old ones, my fronts are cactus and my budget is busted. :oops:


There are plenty of men without clothes on the net too bootz..................just incase your interested :lol:
Unfortunately I have just discovered I may have blown a head gasket (see my other post) so the tyres may have to hold off for a bit, not happy :frown:

Just so long as they don't post my Cleo centerfold shots from 1988. :shock:

Tough luck with the head gasket, at least it gives you an opportunity to colour code your cam cover to desired specification.

I am looking at changing my road tyres for road/track for my once a month sprint/autokana events. Im looking for more grip and hopefully faster times, but dont want to go as far as R specs.
I have two makes on my mind and wonder if anyone has these or knows if they perform well.

1. Yokohama AD08's

2. Achillies 123S

Would appreciate any feed back :-)

Thanks Nicky.



So what did you get Nicky? And how they doin?

Hi NC2005,

I ended up getting TOYO R888's on some second hand 15" CSA wheels, so just swap them over for track days. Im really pleased with them and on my first Autotest day was beating the people that usually are 1-2 seconds quicker than me by 3 seconds! Money well spent :-)
