the price on front runners will be about $260 per tyre I havent priced the 8" ones before, they're not on my system yet.. Then you got wheels to think about... Weld draglites are the go Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

slicks etc aren't too much at all... in comparison to the other gear that people spend on a car. so its insignificant considering how valuable a set of slicks + front runners are. keep an eye out in the quokka and on the net aswell for "used" slicks etc, there are bargains to be had Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

thanx Arie,price isnt my main concern,its more bout getting it right if u know what i meen,im gonna swap the standard springs out of my daily to my turbo and the king springs superlows in my turbo to my daily to make my daily look sexual. with standard height springs id be able to fit 8" slicks on the rear ey? and is there a real advantage to installing 90/10's up front,apart from it squating the rear end on launch? or is it mainly just looks?

i wouldnt worry about spendin over a grand on weld rims when your goin after a number thats gonna get u banned, coz then u gonna worry about trying to sell them off an ****. an 90/10's r to stop the car from squating, if u watch a vid of one it looks like the rears droping heaps but its not. the front lifts up an gives the car lift instead of bogging down. well thats what i think der used 4 lol, i could be way off. edit: if u do get weld rims or what ever, dont get draglites haha. our cars will look too much alike, an u dont want that do u Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

bearing in mind matt, the weld wheels if you buy a 15x8 for the rear you can use them on the street with a standard tyre I'll show you what I got when you come into the shop.... I reckon weld wheels all round would look sik!!! Save the 19s etc for cruises and shows Nothing wrong with 3 calais' looking alike now michael Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

no need for 2 sets... Just 6 wheels all up 2 with front runners, 2 standard front and 2 wider rears (which you change from slick to street tyre) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

"city wok"? nice joke look up on the forums, heaps of threads....surely and also, the amount of flow the ebay-spec manifolds have isnt the most of your concerns , plenty have shat themselves and started cracking etc, then again quite a few quick VLs over east use "sh*tty" manifolds...but who knows how long they last, like they'd tell anyone when it breaks anyways. but if you have the money there is no reason to change to a 6boost manifold...you know you're pretty much getting the "best of the best" (so to speak.....)
