When do you want it brian

Whenever is good for you. You're right down the road.

I'll tex you tomorrow. I'll be in town.

Well Johnny the FD isn't gonna work out. I didn't realize the title wasn't in his name so I can't get a loan for it. The search continues. Also..... What's all done to your FD again? And what county do you live in?

I just found over 100 pictures of DGRR 2011 and they are awesome

Prove it.

Here is a few. Its neat to see how these cars have progressed.

Nice find

I feel like I'm about ready to give up on looking for a FD.

lol ive been looking for another one for 8 years and probably only found 3 i would consider purchasing.

I want one so bad but the level of quality I want in one comes with a 15-20k price tag.... Sigh...... Maybe I should just find a really nice FC.


But wait.... That's hard too.

No it isn't........

I see clean 91 TII JDM ones rolling across my facebook feed all the time for like 5~8k

Nobody wants to drive on the wrong side of the car.

Clean is clean... most of the FCs here have been left to rot. Just look at mine.... lol

Shifting with your left hand is just plain wrong

RE11
RE71
R1R
RS3

Which and why?

I like fcs but don't settle. keep looking.

when I talked to discount tire earlier this wk they said re11 are no longer available.

from what unread re71 is awesome but prob won't last long.

I don't hear much on the r1r

rs3 is supposed to be good for the price.

I ended up going with pole position s04. good performing tire in wet and dry conditions and should last up me 20k miles.

Last weekend to work on the crapcan coming up. Very little is needed, but any help is appreciated.

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.

Buddy of mine that tracks his rx8 has the Dunlop Star Spec II and loves them.
I just got a set for my new wheels for DGRR. BTW, there are no RE71s in the us
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.

I want to see this car at DGRR!

:toetap05:

Interesting, Tirerack says they've got 'em

In terms of availability or tread life?

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:

:puke: Tried it, hated it

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

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:

:banghead: Damnit!!!

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

Me too

I would try and work on it sat and shake it down Sunday. U are so close.

and quit with thr nonsense of not showing up because u don't have a rotary.

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.

Here's our shakedown. It went around the block, now get the fuck outta my shop:willy_nilly:

[/QUOTE]


:rofl:

Hmmmmmmm.... There's one guy there that I've been dealing with for litereally 5+ years. Always gets back to me instantly via email.... Gonna hit him up and see whats up. I'll let ya know about the availability but... looks like I might get boned. I do have a set of worn rear Z1SS's and a brand new set of fronts.... but :puke:

So no RE11's or RE71's..... :banghead: Between the R1R's and RS3's

I prob stick with the r1r, stick with what has worked.

current situation http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/...ps8urkhokj.jpg

Discount tire?

Yup. one in smyrna

Get some Federali 595 RSRs are call it a day...

Vinnie couldn't hook you up?

Where are you seeing them? I havent seen any such thing on my FB....:toetap05:

Although now I'm playing with the idea of trying to find a Rx-3... maybe i'll import one of those :).

:suspect: I do.....

:iagree:

But it feels so good.......:o16:

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.

Its about 10 minutes from my parents house. :)

No room for a large down pipe. Then you fry your masters. No thanks

Congrats to the love birds! :hurray::party:

What, DJ and Brian TT finally confirmed their love for each other?!

They couldn't get the ones I wanted in time for dgrr

That's not news. That's implied.

Hey Zach, when's the baby due :leaving:

Not for a while buddy!
