Ended up using a 3/8" breaker bar with the short 23mm socket from bunnings. Worked like a charm :D

I've tried using the 1/2" kincrome one from bunnings but that doesn't fit at all, even with a short socket too.

Any idea whether a 3/8" one would fit or are there any suggestions as to what I...

A lot of factors come into play mate here's an example of how wider tyres caused an increase in lap timing on a stock car.
...

Any word from him?

doesn't sound too good ;o

Ah I assumed the car's slightly lowered. So you'll be running 225/245 I assume?

Because if you're going to run 255's in the rear you would most likely rub. Unless you're running some camber of...

Nah mate you wouldn't go 285's with stock power :p, 255's are max you would run unless you want to add a turbo or supercharger to it ;)



Curtis's one looks pretty flush to me :o, are you going...

Yeah but with his suspension setup the staggered would be the way to go, that's what I had in mind when I was recommending sizes to him mate :)

As I had mentioned if he wanted to go non-staggered...

Do you have aftermarket suspension though ;) and how wide is wide :p

Weird, can't they remove the entire panel? Unless it's at the rear quarter.

No point fitting too wide tires on a stock S2000, you'd be dragging the car down because it doesn't have the power.

That being said, my opinion is that you run 215/245 or 225/255 to keep the...

thanks mate :)

Anyone used these in their S's before? Hoping to get some feedback on cabin vibrations etc.

It'll go down very quick mate, I poked around the 86 market for a bit. You can grab a GTS at around $30k after you bargain it down a bit. That's a fair bit of depreciation in such a short period....

Haha I just upp'ed it to a daily non-commute so that it covers repairing/servicing as well as test drives if I ever decide to sell it plus unlimited km's. Total's only $1255, very happy with it.

Sorry to bump up an old thread but I have to add Lumley special vehicles insurance is ideal for insuring S's if you're not driving for more than 3 days a week on average. I asked if they covered...

I would be a little hesitant on getting an 86 since there'll be a revision soon which will most definitely drive prices down.

that looks nasty hahaha

Hahaha spot on mate. This is a little random but... any idea where I could get a fire extinguisher bracket for the passenger seat by any chance?

But if it's cheaper?

But if you set up the geometry properly with after market suspension the bump steer shouldn't be that much of a problem with responsible and smooth driving. Not forgetting that the rear suspension...

That red ap1 has no rear glass window on the soft top so that's something to consider. It'll cost approx $600 shipped from ebay and probably $700 in labour to get it fixed up properly.

Other than...

It's too ex... I mean it's out of my budget :p

So sad to see S2000's that haven't been taken care of =/, there're so few in Australia.

Yeah if they're all consistently above 200 and within 5-10% that's fine, I'm aware that it's an old car so I'll be happy with anything above 200. But if it's more than 10% apart between highest and...
