I go to Melbourne for the GP and to catch up with some mates, and I get in trouble with the missus because the first time the camera comes out is to shoot the poor ole girl parked across the road from the hotel in St Kilda. Didn't move all week, go rained on etc, looks like she hasn't moved for a while. Sad way to slowly die............

Mind you, I upped my record from the 8 Jim Beam promo chicks at Bathurst to nine at the GP. 10 will be a big challenge!!

oh yerrrrr true that

Hey Ken, didn't get a chance to speak to ya too much, but met you at the Cranksters run, I had the black Caddy there as OLSKULE was still gettin fixed (should hopefully get her back this week).
Our cars are very similar in style (more street machine than original resto), and I was admiring your wheel/tyre combo. I'm running 15's (I think you had 14's), but you had much lower profile than me, which I want to get into, as my tyres are about 5 years old and ready for an update. I've got 245/60's on the back and 205/65's on the front. I want to drop to at least 50 profile on both (if I can get them!!!).
I though your's were about that. Have you had any problem with lack of give on the tyres through the suspension etc, or is it fine. I read somewhere that you got yours as a package, how have you noticed any difference from what ever you had before??

Any info appreciated.

Even the big ugly one in the middle?

Rossi, not sure what your running on the front of olskule atm but for the backs if you were tryin to stay with the yokie 352's you cant get a 245/50/15.. The only 50/15's are 265 and 295s.

G'day Rossi,
I was very lucky to pick the rims up of ebay for 500!!! they are virtually brand new... (the guy said theyd done bout 120ks and i believe him) "one of the few good pickups i've had"

They actually came with 245 / 14 / 50 series yokies, in virtual brand new condition also..
There 7" rims and im now running 195's on em, seemed too narrow when i was lookin into it but they sit nice and tight on the rim perfect..
The car handles way better and i dont get any extra feedback from the road at all, if anything i prefer the feel.
I had stockies on before with moon discs,runnin 65series white walls. The diff in height is huge & its seriously like dropping a gear outta the box, i'm gonna have to blow this diff centre and get a 3.36 or just change it......

I reckon you'll get 50 series 15s ok, will prob be special order but if theyre available in 14's still like i have i reckon youre safe

We'll catch up 4 a chat on the next run, mayb a bevvo at waroona..

i just got in with either a blown core plug or radiator hose, i cant tell where the water & steam is comin from god dammit looks like a job for tomoz.

Ken

if i had that ek, id rip off those mudflaps and teach it to sit.... on the ground.... permanantly

the green machine back online yet J?

yeh its ok for now

gonna get a set of thinband whitewalls in the next few weeks and make it sit on bumpstops...


who needs suspension travel anyway....

gee i just threw a set away last wk.. 80% tread
