Mantis,
Still want some tires for the track?
I may be swaping tires real soon. Just went to have my tires rotated and got quite a shock. After just 7k miles the fronts are down to the wear bar!
What is really shocking is that that I've been a lot easier on this set of tires than the Toyos. Never seen a track, no more 2nd gear chirps or spins so what
I really didn't like these tires much so I'd really like to do a complete switch. It all depends on what kind of deal I get and whether anyone wants the rear tires for a reasonable price I'll do it. They are in great shape since they never made it to the front. Let me know.

BTW - here's the specs on the tires.
225/45 ZR17 Falken Ziex ZE512
The grip was good as they didn't break loose and even seemed stickier than the Toyos.
Maybe a softer compound than the Toyos.
Which is why the wasted so quickly.

Mantis,
Thanks for hosting. Just wish the pics were a bit better . . . i's even better in real life.
And just think, he built that car from the ground up himself and painted it at his house.
Oh, and yes . . . you need to ride in it and feel some real torque.

Yes, he did it all himself out of his garage.
No, no dyno yet, but butt dyno says 400+. Neck dyno says get a neck brace. Everytime it shifts my neck snaps back like a rag doll. We got on it a little on Saturday after lookings at some Rufs (Porsches) and when it hit 2nd the backend came out big time.
Should run 12s if it hooks up.

The fronts are just down to the wear bar if you are interested in those. You pick up and no charge. Mantis. These haven't been patched! :o :P

I got hooked up with some new Konig Appeals (wheels) that look almost identical to the ones I have for under $200 new. They took my rear tires and mounted them on the new wheels and are ready to be used for the track. They were 18lbs, not as light as I would have liked, but they match and were cheap . . and mounted and balanced for free.
The new tires I end up getting are Pirelli P-Zero Nero M+S P225/45ZR-17 90W B. They already feel better than the Falken Ziex 512s. Stiffer sidewalls and no more squishy tire roll.

Now that I have some track tires . . maybe I'll go more often.

And what's worse is that I was planning on getting some headers or pully kit with the money I blew on the tires.

hah, it's just as scenic coming the way we came last time. It's actually more miles coming through Dallas, as I have traveled that route to AusTex a few times.

man, my thanksgiving couldn't have gone any better. i spent the night with my closest friends of my parents in a huge house in colleyville and in the presence of 4 hot polish girls. man, i've known the two sisters that live there for like 7 years and i just now figured out how cool/hot/fun they are. and their friends were cute too...there was this one girl that looked 22 and she was only 16 but jeez, i was like, you're a grown woman, what the fuck are you talking about 16? hehe. we all got drunk, went out to see the grudge, then came back to find a party of 20 (my mom, their parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts) to still be kicking...so we just talked. I GOT MY FIRST PHONE NUMBER IN 3.5 years. I had a girl for the last 3.5 years so it was kinda tough to go pimpin and picking up people... but man what a turn for the better. and grayson, dude, i got a place to stay for the meet. one of the sisters she goes to UT...i think i might stay with her. or at least go party or something. anyway, be happy for ol' funkee...things are finally looking up!
