    Tyres

    Only done 100 miles on my new PS2's (on the 350)... BUT... all I can say is... WOW ... Why would anyone put anything else on their Z? 50 or 70.... (Thanks again Dan)
  2. Ditto... Im MORE than just 'interested'
  3. Anyone near Telford want help fitting this? Just did mine in under and hour! I used self-tappers for fixing the microswitch. Cookbot for the WIN!

  5. errr.... Private roads, obviously
  6. cool... I am driving about a bit at the weekend... and also on Tuesday (off to Reading) so a decent run out. I need ot bed them in first though... http://www.zeckhausen.com/bedding_in_brakes.htm
  7. Thanks ... again
  8. Ouch.... Glad I bought the PS2's ... Trye Nazi won't be coming for me now!
  9. VERY ... thanks Dan...
  10. At the moment (as I haven't bedded the brakes in yet) it's just the wheels/spacers/tyres that are making the difference. I only really upgraded my discs as my rear's needed replacing, so for the price I thought I might as well upgrade them all to a step above standard.
  11. Likewise our 10 stone Rottweiler!!!! Where my parents live several houses were broken into despite all sorts of fancy alarm systems - the ones left alone were the houses with resident dogs +1 Our EBT is soft as pooo! But she looks mean
  12. Cheers guys... Just gotta get the wheels refurb'd.... but after my open wallet surgery, I'm going to have to save up for a while before I can do that. I just can't believe it is the same car. It feels so PLANTED...
  13. Right... New DBA 4000 Discs New DS2500 Pads New (well, new to me) original GT Rays alloys New Michelin Pilot Sport 2's Dear GOD!... it like a NEW freakin' CAR!!!! Gotta throw out thanks to ZManalex, Sarnie, Ekona and everyone else who has helped me with this. Oh and also Penfold who bought my old alloys so I could afford the PS2's!
  14. Toyo proxeys? That's a blast from the past... used to run those years ago on my Delsol!
  15. No worries fella, I'm just glad that someone listened to me for a change and hasn't run off and either bought budget 452s or gone onto mixed tyres! :lol: Give us a review once you've got them on and they're settled in, I'd love to know what you think of them compared to the VUS. I can understand WHY they would run off and buy cheaper ones (NO idea why you would buy mixed though!) I mean the jump from VUS to PS2 is a BIG one. If I hadn't of bought my brakes, I think I would have settled for the VUS. Just gotta go an fetch them tomorrow now See how BAD the drive to the tyre place is with my "mixed batch" that I have on the standard alloys... There is a different tyre on each corner!
  16. Cheers Leroy... I was worried then... as I have all ready ordered them from my local place. But I checked and they are £10 a corner more on that website than I have paid ... WHEW! Thanks anyway bud
  17. Thanks for your input too Sarnie... really appreciate it...
  18. Thanks for all the help Dan.... I know these things are super expensive... but you CAN'T cut corners on brakes an tyres... Thanks again!
  19. Right... just sold my lalloys to Penfold... So, decision has been made. I am off to get the PS2's!!!! Defo the right thing to do, why have great brakes if the tyres are going to not be up to the job? SO.... WHAT SIZE DO I ORDER FOR STANDARD GT Rays?!?!?! 245/45/18 and 225/45/18? Does that sound right?
  20. Dear God... I have been done! Just sold for £500 ... for the LOT!!!! Someone got a bargain.. Well done Penfold...
  21. Sounds spot on! So... ringing round... as I need these tyres ASAP... the only ones I can get hold of this week are either the PS2's or RE050's 724 for the Potenza's 760 for the PS2's .... so I am guessing for the extra forty notes I should really go for the Michelin's....?
  22. So I presume they are for racing really? I am not adverse to paying extra for tyres... that is the whole point. My pockets are a little shallow at the mo due to my DBA/DS2500 upgrade all round. So I need to justify the extra cost of the PS2's over the VUS. I don't push the car THAT hard... Im thinking the PS2's might be over kill for a weekend car that I don't push too hard...
  23. Pricey... to be expected I suppose... Are they really THAT much better than the Sassanta's?
  24. They are "the best" then... ?
  25. Indeed, I would suggest 4 different makes, 1 for each corner just to make weekends interesting Seems no-one has any Falcons OR ULTRACS in at the moment I have been offered Yokohama Advanced Sport ... anyone heard of them? £10 MORE a corner than the Ultracs....
