Now wondering if the head gasket is gone or not.

Thoughts?

That sucks. One way you can check if your gasket is blown is by checking your oil, the coolant can run into your oil and make it have a milky like texture and will change in colour.

Are those KU26?
how have they been for you?

**ICYOIL** · 13-04-2011 08:16 AM

^ Nah, they are KU25's (if thats what you ment)
For the price, they are awesome only had them on for a week so far. so i have not really got into it yet to see how they go
a mate took it for a spin and said they were almost on par with his re001's (i was rather surprised with that)

KU25 sounds about right
I have them and on my set up they aren't great, I'm just trying to decide if its my current alignment or the tyre.

Just picked up a spare bonnet and front bumper. These ones aren't cracked/dented/gay like the ones on my car at the moment.

And yes, im still using a stick as a boot strut.

I used them in 215/40/17. Good tyres for $123 a piece (probably more expensive now).

They're a mid-range performance tyre. A little noisy IMO (17's I guess) but they performed quite well. Good dry/wet drip, good wear rating I reckon. Given that the entry-level performance tyre KU23 was $117 at the time, it was an easy choice to upgrade to the KU25 for $6 more per corner. But the KU31 is a better tyre, although it sure is more expensive.
