Sounds' like all you guys are happy to risk a $10,000 fine if caught with a non standard set of Cats, it's illegal to replace them and they must be replace if damaged with the original OEM one's.

What's your though's on this one ?

I see you're getting the 19" TE37 rims, can I ask from whom and at what costs.

Thanks

I think there is a big misundertanding in regards to the $10 000 fine for the cats. Surely that fine is for illegal cats or no cats at all. This must surely be the case when there are many exhaust places not only fitting hi-flow cats but producing there own. take for example lambros at hi-tech, there is no way that he would produce his own cats if they were illegal because then no one would buy them and he himself would run the risk of having to deal with the law?

Why doesnt somene call up the RTA or police and ask them what the law is???

 

You can have aftermarket cats as long as they actually work. There's a minimum temp that they must reach which I believe is the only test they do.

 

Hi david.
I bought them from Japan. It's Used and paid for about AU$3000 shipped. Only the wheels.

Cheers

 

**** that is pretty good i paid $4800 for my ROH modena with pirreli p-zero's

 

well your good too.

The TE37 i bought it's USED and there is about 3 cm long of curb. and paying AU$3000 shipped. with no tyres yet.

Any picture of your car?

Btw how much the tyres alone and what setup was your wheels?

Thanks, that's not a bad price mate, you can get the curb damage fixed fairly easily, there is a place in West Heidelberg which speciallizes in wheel repair.

David

 

wow any address for that? That would certainly help alot when the wheels arrived.
Thanks

 

I don't know how much mmorris paid, but generally expect to pay about $520 per corner for P Zeros. For that money I hope there is a considerable difference in dry and wet handling compared to the OEM tyre.

 

ouch! that mean the wheels alone will cost at least $2800

 

Yea i paid around that for the P-Zero's
what size p-zero's are you gonna run with the 19's?

 

me?
I'm not going to P-zero. I'm on Budget now :P i'll just go for S03 :P

245/35 front and 275/35 rear

FYI the S03s are $550 per tyre for 245X35X19 and the 275X35X19 prices vary, I managed to get them for a good price of $450 each, but they would not cost that normally

So S03s are not the cheap alternative, they are a Ultra High Performance Tyre. You will find that your tyre choices are limited based on the sizes you want, providing you want to have the same type of tyre all the way around.

 

i got quoted for AU$1800 for a set and allign or balanced.

 

Do you think it would be absolutely impossible and very stupid to put a 275 on a 8.5" tyre and if not what do you think would be the biggest 265 or 255??
thanks

 

Thats a good price ypwpat! Get them. The Continental were something like 600 - 650 per tyre, i forget the exact price and they wear down quicker than any other tyre so you'd have to buy them more often. I think the P-Zeros are more again but KY350 is quoting the price for the stock sizes? Is this correct KY350?

mmorris, A 275 would not go on a 8.5" wheel, a 255 will, and not sure about a 265, it might but the performance would be less than that of a 255 tyre. Its not just the width of the tyre that determines the performance, its matching the right sized tyre onto the right sized rim.

 

yup.... mchapman is correct.. I had 255 on the 8.5J previously on the Ray's wheel, no problem at all, love the handling too!!! and I guess 265 might fit, but not too sure either!!!

cheers,

Well i originaly wanted a 275 for the TCS issue but NRMA insurance wouldnt let me get bigger than 8.5". With that i got the 255 rear and 245 front but i have the "SLIP" light come on quite alot which is the most irritating thing in the worl. especially when you are driving in a straight line.
