As long as the MR2 peoples don't come to make trouble, I welcome them. Which tires did you buy? I think im going to smoke through my rear tires and get somthing other than bridgestones this year... (new years resolution, find some other good tires! RE050A are too expensive... )

Look around online. I went to onlinetires.com, printed a quote with shipping, and Americas tire matched it. I got the Hankooks k104's. Great price for a decent set of tires. I am gonna pound through them then sell this set of wheels. (know anybody who wants a set of Work wheels for under $2k? )

^^^^ I may be interested in the works, but i will need some time. It would take me about 2 months, because i need to get my DSLR camera, then i need to pay for some other stuff. I don't buy things i can't pay for, so PM me when you are about to sell them.
Can you post some picks for ***** and giggles?

What are the offset on the emotions? Unless he's running a really aggressive offset, I'm guessing he's probably in the 40s or very high 30s.

With such a high offset, you'd need to run quite a large spacer to make it look even decent.

For comparison, stock offset on the RX8 is 50, while stock offset on the 350z is ~30.

I got tires right after christmas. My rear ones were bald froma track day and letting my brother borrow my car (never going to happen again ...). How much are you gana spend and on what? I spent 590 on 2 Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Positions. Feels great.
By the way, do you know anything about the stuff Mazda is going to do with the RX8 is 2009? I think i may go and get one.

Got 4 new Hankooks pretty cheap. Soft rubber, but I dont plan to have these wheels much longer, I actually like the stock wheels better.

And as for Mazda . . . wait a few more years till the really good stuff comes out. (Kabura, 16x engine)

I saw some of the concepts for the rx9. Twin turbo three rotor! ITS BACK!!! and my Z is gone soooooooooo fast (to a mazda dealer)...
I realy like my Z, but the rx8 is a much better car for me.

Only a few more days.


Have you all seen the 'buffalo Wild Wings GTG" happening on the same day? It is in Murrieta, so you will be driving right past it. They are meeting there at about 11am

Im doing this cruise for me (if you know what i mean). I always wanted to take some of these roads, so i decided to post it up on my350z because i thought some of the other enthusiasts may be interested. I don't care how many people come because i'd do this alone if no one wanted to come.
