Well a slightly eventful evening, went around my mechanics place for a few beers and on the way home (literally 150m up the road) i get out of the car at my place to a nice sound of air rushing out of somewhere. Looking at the front passenger wheel i could see any puncture so i went ahead and took off the wheel to find the inside sidewall had completly crapped itself. There is a nice 15 cm gash in it and another out of shot thats about 3 cm long. No wonder i couldnt find it, anyways they are Achilles ATR Sport and i know people have said in the past they have weak sidewalls but i wouldnt have thought it would happen to me, they had done about 25,000km and were still just legal so i really didnt want to have to replace them yet. Might be able to get this one covered under manufacture defect warranty but will see. Its ironic as my mechanic also owns a tyre shop so go figure!!!

Anyways pic below, its shame as they have a treadwear rating of 400 which is pretty damn good for a 19" tyre.

Front bar was about $600 ($80 off) and the bonnet was $640 (website was $800 but they had them on ebay for this price). i just checked out ssv and you can get the FG GT front bar to suit the ba/bf xr headlights. Undecided on if i like it or not though.

So just a little update, got some new tyres yesterday arvo, i stuck with the achilles as the rep sold them to my mechanic mate so i ended up getting them fitted and balanced for 130 each. I was actually working from home as i was at a client site training in the morning but swung by on the way home and got them fitted up in 30 mins, it was great, the workshop was empty so had 3 guys workin on it. Anyways next will be complete rear re bush and front and rear sway bars. I didnt take any pics of the tyres getting fitted as it was nufin special :-p

Went for a cruise with the Ford boys today, went up to Lake St Clair, was very nice except for the wind, nice clear and sunny skies, snapped a few pics along the way, the pro ones are thanks to Mitch!
