All,

I am able to get my hands on about 10 sets of NEW race slicks. They are Falken RS003 240 x 610 x 17". This is similar deal to the Toyo R888 tyres I found last month.

I originally thought they are were going to be around the $200 mark but the actual landed price is $275 each.

Post up or PM my if you want a set.

Thanks

paul sorry I missed your call, I need 4 of them :D $1100 right?

Do they have more than one compund available?

610 is the total diameter of the tyre in mm, around 240/37/17

But anyway, thats good enough for a line if your run 4 together.

Yes, you missed this ;)

I would think that unless you are very serious, a set of semi-slicks (Re55s or similar) at 400ea that you can drive to the track on would be a better deal.

But this is a good price if you were thinking about slicks they are generally 350+ each.

      Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.

      Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true

      Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
