haha... yeah, that's the current number. Maybe we should start a help group. I've had my 300zx for going on 12 years now though. I'll be selling at least a couple of FD's once I get home more than likely. I have my eye on a new DD once I get home

LOL! Get married! That helps with this addiction

So, what's going to be your new daily?? Don't say RX8

If I could do it over now, I would buy a G35 or G37.. Sorry RX8 owners out there... That's how I feel today!! Ask me when my engine light is off and I'll say, I Love my 8!

Also, I need new tires.. Maybe that would make me happy again..

I have a few in mind, it all depends on how much I decide I'm willing to spend. I'm leaning towards the M3 right now. We'll see though.

I have them, love them and won a Time Attack with them. You guys will be impressed with the grip, just don't be upset on how quickly they wear out under hard driving.

The new RE11s are the replacement to the RE01Rs, thinking of getting a set for Time Attack. If anybody is in need of 255/35 18s and 265/35 18s I can sell you my set used. Will have to check the depth of the remaining tread, but I'd say the tires are 25% used. Need to know by the 10th of March. PM me.

Adam

I'm thinking $650 plus shipping. It will have to be soon, I need to order the RE11 Friday so I can get them on, take the RE01Rs off and be ready for RTA Season Opener at the end of March.

I mean to ask if you ever got them. I got mine Wed, they are good looking tires. I almost hate to put them on the daily knowing they won't last long, or get drivin hard.

Actually I also got them on wednesday

Yeah, I've decided not to use them as a daily tire. I got some used ones still.

I'm going to put them on the SSRs and use them on the track next time I get out..

I had mine put on Friday and so far so good! It has all been driving in the rain though, but so far I'm pleased with the wet traction.
