Tyres just hold on and spit you out!! 8) :mrgreen: :evil: eBay you say, were they second hand?


I thought the RA-1's were friggin awesome so can't wait for the R888's to make their debut!!!! 8) Bring on the 24th! :lol:

cats don't stick to lino, unless they have been run over by a ukranian truck driver blasting through a kitchen.

See you guys there, should be fun.

T1R's have a few more than the run to Goulburn k's on them now, so should be a tad better. Awesome tyre for the road.

You will loove the 888's Craig, excellent rubber.

Oddly enough I've just had two Toyo T1R's in 205/45/16 fitted to the front on the standard rims and I'm really impressed so far, great grip and awesome control and direction! They must be good stuff as Toyo Australia has run out of them :lol: :| ...can't wait to get the two rears replaced and then to see how it goes with T1R's running on all 4 corners 8)

Yeh the R888's are looking the ducks guts...wonder if I'll beat that PB of 1.14.32 in the NA? :)

Well have fun you guys! You will just have to organise yourselves on the grid this time! I won't be there to keep you in line! :roll:

I will be off enjoying myself on the Miata run in Seattle with John Hewitt et al! There are quite a few of us going from all over Australia I think. I think each state will be represented! :) :)

Sorry I can't make it that weekend. It would have been nice to see if I could have improved on my last time. :(

I'd like to make it to the VIC / NSW challange at Phillip Island in December.
Details anyone?
