Yeah those pirellies are mega dollars. I've heard theres a bridgestone in 155/50 or 55. See if you can find that, it'll look great! I almost bought that advan tyre from yokohama but when we rang up they said just go with the a539 in the same size, which is what I ended up doing. Was cheaper and will last a hell of a lot longer. Those semi-race are only designed for a couple of thousand k's lol And the other thing apparantly, semi-race tyres like the advan have a very stiff sidewall that doesn't like being stretched as much as standard tyres. But fuk, I'm sure it will work anyway  |

150 a tyre  not sre if that was the best deal but i couldnt be arsed looking around. Fitings included and hes gona fit some rear tyres to my gtst so yeah, alright deal i guess. Havnt heard from steelie gears yet.... hes had all the nuts since tuesday but i dont think hes even cut the centers out yet! which he said he would do right away so i could take em to the acid dippers. I wish these kind of guyds would just be straight up instead of always lieing about when they will do nuts. Same with plumbers and builders etc. My mate told me today that the same guy took a year to modify a hilux diff for his 323!!!  i hope he dont take too long or ill go on a rampage or somenuts |

Yeah you should probably go stab him and call him a c*nt.
Thats one thing that drives me crazy too. You plan nuts around when they say that will have it done and then it ends up stretching out days or weeks longer. It wouldn't even be a problem if they gave a time frame that they could stick to, even if it is a week longer. Just means you know, and can plan around it. C*nts! ;D

If they'd just be honest, you could either work around it, find someone else to do the work or just bring the stuff in when he's actually ready to do the work! |
