Quick check, I might start organizing event at Eagles Canyon Raceway up here in Denton, just waiting to hear back from the owner on a couple of things, but who all would be interested in coming out and racing on an actual circuit once or twice a year?

HOW MUCH?

I mean Im interested but price is a factor for most... so if its a good deal...I see no problems with getting some peops to go to stuff like this..

besides - it is just twice a year..

Not exactly 100% happy with the nittos so I'm probably gonna go with something else. I'm thinking the hankook ventus v12's if they come in a size that will work for me but I still have to do a bit more research on tires.

A valid point but that's why I havnt been spending money and I've basically been "broke" recently because I've been paying off bills and saving money finally. I've started to get a half way decent savings built up and I've got a good chunk of my debt knocked out recently. I guess that's my new years resolution is to get my debt knocked out minus car and student loans cuz those will take me more than a year lol.

That's what I've read so far. Everyone that has reviewed them says that they are excellent tires with performance that far surpasses their relatively low price. My nittos just don't hook up for crap. They seemed nice for the first couple of months but now they seem like they actually have less traction than my old skinnier potenza re960's

I was really pleased with the handling of them.....I've run them at 2 Auto-X's so far and they have been great !

Hey guys, Jake and I finished the Diff reinstall last night, just have to get fluid to put in. Monday we are dropping the trans and installing the clutch and flywheel, and preparing the to pull the motor on Tuesday for the turbo install. Here is what we have so far:








Just heard from APR, the GTC-300 Carbon Wing is now en-route to us!
