Liam_D Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Common Conti problem dude, not a fan of Contis at all. If your going for anything premium it has to be Goodyears never heard of any of them splitting or blebing. Dosent the tyre place you bought them from offer some sort of gurantee? Or even Continental themselves? I know we send faulty tyres back for inspection at our place and they sometimes pay out for a fresh one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Try the Kumho KU31`s i have nothing but praise for them as does everyone else on the net Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 KU31s are a cracking tyre, you could also try the Hankook Ventus V12 Evos heard nothing but praise about them too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nanglebadger Posted August 22, 2010 Author Share Posted August 22, 2010 UpdateWell yesterday I took a spin to the Costa, where the Jaymeister kindly fitted the WEPR hot side piping and my new smoothed rocker cover with brand new nuts and PCV from Toyota.adding the shorter piping has not only tidied up the bay, it has also added 0.05 bar or so of boost and is more responsive than before, it is a really noticeable improvement, and the noise of that K1 going at full whack is just savage! can't wait to see what she does next week on the rollers, so long as its above 130bhp that'll be good!!! lol!!!! cant be havin stock power now can we lol!need to get pics, but dad has naffed off to the Black Forest with all the memory cards, nice! lol!took a spin round to Kirkistown with Jay after we were done with my car, and he kindly took me for a few passenger rides!!! was awesome craic in hthe 5E!! it was a Porsche track day, so GT3s etc etc everywhere, an Exige, and an R35.....but i can beat that still....there was a McClaren SLR blasting round!!! that thing caused air vibrations that thumped your chest!!! never seen or heard anything like that! and thats the first Hyper car I've seen in the metal, was totally unreal!!!!the best part of the day was on track, we were bein held up by a blue audi TT, Jay says "it was a TT that upset u wasn't it?", we chuckled, went round her and then Jay shouts "LOOK LEFT!!!!!!!!!!!"...and the R35 came blasting past us!!!that will be one of the most defining moments of my life, i have an odd feeling about it, i just know thats gonna stick with me, "LOOK LEFT"...wwooooooooooooooossssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh black R35!!! unreal!Phil.
