S'nut,
Actually i don't know if my tyres are noisy.. i can't hear them over the engine !!

By the Way.. i bought my car from Cairns, you may know it.. Peter Lik (the Photogragher) owned it.

Good soapbox, Vette Obsessed, you can see by my comment that I was on the trail but a longways behind the rest of the posse on that one.

So far my ‘crap filter’ has been working well, in that I’ve had some good info on several things. I’ve no idea how I would get on without the help of the CF. I often tell people here how helpful they are but in all forums you get 3 answers to a question, it’s just a matter of seeing if the correct answer is among them.

(Editing here) - I forgot to say that I check the ages out of the people who seem to offer good advice - doesn't always mean something but generally I never trust someone without at least a few gray hairs. Vader 86 is 22 years old.

The great thing about this NSW Forum is getting an Aussie point of view. I hope no one starts up a second/third/fourth Aus forum – it’s simpler to just have the one. Maybe this one should be renamed to cover all states, looks like there’s a few Qld’s
here.

SM90 - I was not in touch with any local vettes until the end of last year so I’m not familiar with your car. Is it a 90 ? what colour etc ? You can see mine at www.myvette.20m.com
The pics are from when I bought it – just temporary, I’m planning to take some new one’s this week if we get some good weather. I’d like to hear about how you found the car/inspected/did the deal/got it home as it would be useful info for when I sell mine here in Cairns……..no plans at the moment though.
Would you  like to email me ? make_contact_@hotmail.com


77CVT – I’m glad you let me know about the 16” rims. I haven’t done any research on them (as you can see)

I was in touch with a great bloke in NSW called Doug (Uncle Doug) and he had put Holden rims on his 87. They were 17”, less wide and cheaper. He sent me some pics, at the time I thought my 12 slots were better but I’m reconsidering. Haven’t heard from Doug for ages.

Vette Obsessed – please, any clues for me on shipping ? Assume I know nothing and you’ll be close, just over-estimating a bit.

I know quite a bit about the aircon though, did you know a Holden WB blower (1982) bolts straight on my 88 ? but that’s got nothing to do with tyres.

"Holden rims on his 87."

Gotta have a chev pattern.  Holden rims may fit but will not be centred in the holes and would put more stress on the studs.  I've talked to a few people regarding this and have decided against it.

Stingraynut:
Hi Vette Obsessed, this is off topic of tyres but I was reading some other posts and was wondering, if your intials are A.L ? in which case I think you were the person who was very helpful when I was deciding on the C3/C4 issue and put me in touch with ‘Uncle Doug’ – if so thanks very much, your and Doug’s advice was very helpful.

I have Dougs home email but there’s been no reply for a long time. He might not be checking it as it’s in his wifes name.

Anyway, if you know Doug please give him my regards and I hope all is going well for him

Thanks

S’nut

Vette Obsessed:
Hi S'nut, yes, my initials are AL and I am the guy who e-mailed you a bit when you were looking at different cars, thanks for the kind words.

Uncle Doug is still around, I'll pass on your message to him.

I will try get those figures for my tyre importation excercise and post them here in the next few days.
