I kinda feel like it's all or nothing. I don't really have a desire to attend DGRR AGAIN with no rotary, especially the Cosmo. I NEED to bring the car home Sunday so I can drive it and shake it down and clean it up before Thursday.

I want to see this car at DGRR!

I FUCKING LOVE THAT TIRE. It's the only one that's been able to keep my FC's rear straight when matted

So I also hear. More for cornering than straigh line grip which is what I need :biggrinjester: Smoked the center out of the R1R's that I have now :lol:

Don't be a pussy, drive untested. It's more fun that way ;)

Buddy of mine that tracks his rx8 has the Dunlop Star Spec II and loves them.

Really? I tried the Z1 SS and hated those as well. They were ok on the auto-x, until I mashed the gas, or the brakes. After one particular auto-x that was a good 2 hour drive away I put the fronts on the rear and just smoked them round in the parking lot :rofl:

until 4/18 unless your tire dealer has some hidden away. Tirerack has it posted
as the available date now. I also hear the RE71s are great for autocross but
don't last as a track tire.

:banghead: Damnit!!!

RS3 by default? Fuuuuuuu.... lemme email away

Pfft. FD owner. Wanna race?

brian from what I read tread life doesn't last long. havent really seen any data that they last x amount of miles.

as for tire availability I would instant message the folks at tire rack to confirm. they are quick and u don't have to deal with the phone.

That won't happen, because they go for insane amounts overseas. Remember, in Aus and NZ, they look here to buy vintage Mazdas.

However, there is this for sale, and I know the guy.
