I'm going to try and make it out.

I should have my new tires on next week. I'll have to do a bunch of driving to get them broken in by Saturday.

Great news Ben... I was hoping to have someone else to hang with since it sounds like Marc is gonna be bailing on me.

Are you going with the Star Specs, 255/40/17? Gotta get them while you can still get the $100gift card, I think that promo ends on the 5th.

sorry I didn't reply Marc. I was working. Just wondering if anyone was going for test/tune. You guys are all pretty involved in the auto-x so I assumed none of you were going.

The twin disk is finally in, and going through break-in stages. The retainer clip man handled us, but we eventually got it out by grinding it down some. It was a long night, but thanks to Peter and Adam (Brand New), the car is running great.

Those are the tires. I believe it's $50 back or a $75 Amazon gift card.

Good for you Chu. Now put some miles on that thing so you can autox next weekend...

Trying to Pete, but I dont think it'll be ready by the 9th. I was looking forward to the novice school the following weekend, but have a feeling it wont read ready by then either. We'll see how it goes. May is a busy month for me.

Chu, I wouldn't worry too much about the miles. If you have 100-200 miles of driving, with some of that city driving, you should be ok. And if I know where you are from, you have plenty of stop and go traffic plus driving in the city. You'll break that sucker in quick, well before 500 miles is up.

+1, just sit through 2 serious traffic jams on two seperate days and call it broken in

I was drag racing on my clutch after 400 miles, but it went through a serious amount of low load engagements in traffic jams and city driving..
