I know the Asymmetric 2's won the 2012 Motor Tyre Test, are they Chinese made to?

I'm running German made Eagle F1 asymmetric 245/18 and 265/18's on the supra, have done about 20,000k's and the rears "could" last another 10,000, fronts are only 50% worn.

Previous tyres were utter crap on the stock wheels so I can't make a proper comparison, but I think they are awesome ...

Thanks for the replies. Also got a price on the RE002's, they are about equivalent to the top of the range Goodyear Asymmetrics, or about $60/tyre more than the 5's. Guy at Bridgestone told me the RE002's are a softer tyre though so not great for wear but grip was unbelievable.

I think for the ...

Thanks. What are you comparing them to on the front?

I'm a bit underwhelmed, thought more ppl would be using them considering the popularity of the GSD3

Hey all,

Not for a Toyota, but wondering if anyone is using the new Goodyear Eagle F1 Directional 5 tyres? Apparently they replace the GSD3's. Anyway wanting to know how they are wearing. From memory the GSD3's were a bit softer so werent the best for wear? Any comments welcomed, cheers

Forget Holden vs Ford (the choice is obvious), how did it turn into a thread about mullets?

I'd rather have a mullet than grey hair anyday, old man

Like Ford drivers are any better anyway, if thats what your getting at

Now that would be a sight!

Says he that now owns a Subaru, after all those years off bagging them out!

FYI, mullets are back

If your willing to spend a bit of coin here you can pick up a nice Chaser Tourer V...

Or if not you can just buy a Commodore

I guess it had to happen sooner or later, charging to provide even the most basic info.

Over here in Aussie, there is a similar thing called a REVS check and you dont get anything free. It provides similar info to Carjam plus any recorded accident history. Damn expensive though, between $25-50 ...

Dont put a 20W oil in it, its too thick when cold and you wont get the protection. As suggested, use a 15w40 or even a 10w50 or 15w50, as its a bit thicker when at operating temp which is probably when its burning it

Just get a small sticker and put it on the dash

Can't believe your a mod

The stock shocks are made by KYB so are decent, dare I say better than aftermarket Monroes.

I'm not sure if Toyotas pricing has changed in the last few years but when I bought a new set of shocks for my AE101 S/S back in 2006 they werent any more expensive than non S/S.

What exactly are you looking for? I can keep my eye out in the meanwhile

I'm in Brisbane, suppose I could help you out if needed.......

I find most Commodore parts are down in Melbourne, I know this now that I own one

I think the stuff you are referring to is this :

Is used on XR6 turbos for one and Pioneer Autoparts sell it

Its going to be an epic year for F1, I'm so going to the the Melbourne F1!

Funny how opinions change, 3ish years ago all aftermarket oil filters were shite and genuine was the only way to go...

Maybe its something more simple like the kinglead has a faulty connection?
