Sold thanks.

New, never driven or even sat on - just been pulled from rims as project went bye bye.. These have a treadwear rating of 40, ie super sticky. $800 ono I'm in Perth but happy to ship. SMS to 0429427936 Ta, Matt

I'm going to bump this! Never really followed through with this. Regas are still available. V70a tyres also. Volk TE37s are available for $1k for the pair. Super rare size/colour. Old phone number in the first post. PM me or get me on 0429427936.

I can't edit my own post? Anyway WEDS and AMEs are sold. TE37s dropped to $1300.

Based in WA, but happy to arrange shipping to anywhere. Shipping from West to East is pretty cheap! (unlike the other way) 1. 4x Desmond Regamaster 17x9 +18 (GTR offset). Should need no introduction, these are forged Russian beauties. Matte black, strong and light, one of the best track wheels you can get. These come mounted with brand new never driven on Kumho V70a semi slicks (255/40/17). Treadware rating of 40 (super super sticky PROPER semi slicks). Selling because I sold my Silvia track project and bought a Lotus. Needless to say these don't fit. $2500 with tyres, or $1500 without, and will sell tyres for $1000. 2. 4x AME Tracer wheels f:17x8, r:17x9 (offsets are around +30-35 or so) Huge chunk out of one of the fronts (might be repairable), but the rears are good and make fantastic drift wheels. Super super light. Come with f**ked tyres. Take the lot for $200 pickup. 3. 2x Rays TE37 18x9 +10 Trademark magnesium blue in colour, with nice concave from the +10 offset. These are super rare. $1500 and you can have the tyres on them too (ok tread depth - but will be a few years old) 4. 2x WEDS SA90 17x9 +20 (GTR offset) A bit grubby but in perfect condition. Very lightweight and strong track wheels. No tyres. $500 PM me or SMS please on 0401406three5three.

Short track. I think my brother did a high 59, Pete Major had a few laps as well and managed a 58 from memory. Not amazing times, but it was pretty much straight off the boat.

If you can find one at a good price, a track only FD is a great car. My brother was lucky to get one for around 10k with a big single turbo. Did sub 1 minute lap times at Wanneroo first time out, straight off the boat with only 260hp (maxing out the stock injectors) and the old tyres it had on it from Japan. Bigger injectors, better tyres, a retune and more seat time would see significantly faster laps. Spending anything up to 10-15k on a Nissan I think you'd have trouble getting an R33 or even an S14 to match an S13. You can pick S13s up for absolute peanuts and most of the structural problems with them (rear suspension, jelly chassis) can be fixed very cheaply.

You are going from KW to Buddy Club? Crazy talk! KW are ten times the shock that Buddy Club are. Edit: buy these: http://zilvia.net/f/sale-items/413976-kw-clubsport-coilovers-custom-drift-suspension-new-super-cheap.html For 2.5k you could probably build a custom Bilstein setup also, but it's a lot of messing around. I am serious btw, buy those KWs above.

PM sent.

What I love best is the way they retain just enough of the stock OEM shock tower to be within the rules, and then don't even use them..

Ahhh here we go: Ultima is a kit car, therefore out. You could maybe make a case for the Dauer though, although the "Promoter" might not like it.

Next step, Dauer 962. Pretty sure they draw the line at tube frame chassis though, so the Ultima is out on that basis.

Not sure Ultimas and their like are legal even for pro class? Although the rules are so open to interpretation who knows.

MX5s are cheap and have huge potential, with a perfectly balanced lightweight RWD chassis and wishbone suspension all around. Parts and upgrade paths are very sorted and understood, with plenty of stuff available out of the US. On top of that the MX5 club in WA runs regular sprints/autokhanas at RAC Driving Centre, and track days at Barbs, with multiple classes depending upon how modified your car is. It would almost certainly be the car to choose if you can get over the whole hairdresser's car prejudice.
