Re: Super cats tires

Seriously, asking on the internet about $69 tyres?
You have failed at life by so much you don't even deserve a 1990 Corona and should be walking everywhere.

Super cats tires

Hey guys

I am about to throw a new set of tires on the corona (1990 3s manual)

Bridgestone has a promo atm for 13/175/70 supercats for 69 each fitted balanced etc etc

Anyone think of anything better for a similar price?

I am thinking about some nicer Turanza's or Kumho's but I can't find them ...

Re: Opinions: Fiat Stilo Abarth

If she is set on something smallish and euro then consider one of the renalt clio's. Anything from the clip 172, 182, 197 etc are all really great to drive. Great wee cars, nice revvy 2ltr with great balance and very light weight.

You can pick up a nice 172 or 182 for around 5-8k.

Not nearly as ...

Re: NEW Supra Prototype.

How can they make it competitive against the GTR in both price and performance (which it has to be imo) without making the LFA look way overpriced in comparison?

Re: Rav4 diesel opinions

Finished galavanting like a long haired hippy. TBH I'm content with mine. Its fairly economical, apparently averaging 6.4 litres per 100KM atm, or so it tells me. As for towing, I towed a furniture trailer (single axle) and averaged about 9.5L/100KM (which is 0.1l/100KM more efficient than my NA ...

Re: Rav4 diesel opinions

Have always wondered why toyota didn't push a diesel rav4 option from the get go. I mean the rav4 is a very popular soft-roader and they look/handle quite nicely. But from what I have seen they never seemed to sell a diesel rav4 New in NZ. All the diesel ones here are imports from what I could see ...
