[wbdinger]

Lets see, We've collected 3 mods over the winter

1)-thanks to Ofer 2SSRS
ready for ABL

2)-Price was right

3)-thx to ******** harness
Some old stuff being put to use

But have to get Patches outta here first

[stratman2SSRS]

How long did it take to get the light bar??
Ofer sent mine about a month ago, and still no sight of it??

[wbdinger]

It took about 16 days by ground mail for both the Digikey lightbar and ******** harness.
Did you get a tracking # ect. I'd start in on the postal service and see whats up.

OK, these look gigantic off the car They are 275/40ZR -20 Pirelli PZero XL(10 ¾” wide, same as currently on the rear from factory) and 305/35ZR -20 (12” wide) Pirelli PZero Ferrari on the rear. Kind cool the 305’s are designed specifically for Ferrari. Buying tires for this car is just about the same as taking a pile of $20’s out back and burning them, only difference is the tires make way more smoke

At some point my new rims will make it to my door step.

Yea I hear that Mat! And anything over the 275 Pirelli's are a lot more $$ just b/c of low production volumes!! I pick up my new tires tomorrow. Sorry but I got ya beat on the rears - 315's . But I just won't be driving them on the street much

Did you go with the Pireilli's in 315 or did you go with another brand? I hear you on the price thing, although I think the price has come down on the 305's. Seems to me they were over $600 USD each last summer. I got them for $532.00 USD from the Tire Rack. And yes you got me 12.4016" vs my 12.0079".

Yea they have come down. But considering the 275's are $220 each.... .
I was seriously considering putting 305's on when my 275's are toast. But I decided to do something different so I can just replace them with 275's and not feel so bad when they go up in smoke. I can't tell ya what I got tho. Let's just say they have fewer threads

Speaking of which - I noticed a couple different 305's on TR's site and I asked my friend who owns a tire shop. He looked it up and mentioned one was OE for the ferrari or porshe or something. He mentioned that they could be identical, but there is also a chance that they might be a softer compound. Don't know if it's true or not, and if it is if you care or maybe that's a positive

LOL, you should be looking for a set of 18" rims with very sticky rubber.

Yes I went with the OE Ferrari version of the 305's, mostly for bragging rights J/K The only difference that I see between the two, other than price, is the Ferrari version has a better wear life 220 vs 160. Everything else is the same. So I guess I'll only have to replace them once a year instead of every 8 months

These bad boys should be comming in this week. Not as big as those 305 p-zeros but none the less the 225's are perfect for my little car.


Armrest was installed today. TWM short shifter is installed when my shift boots and arm rest covers come in from Redline goods. Tune comes in mid march. and summer rims/tires go on last week of march.
