These are great pics!![EEK!](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/eek.gif)

Peter Kotsa (professional photographer) is there to take pics, if you prepare to pay. We probably get Josh (I assume it is you rx-afried) to take our pics.
Atridge
Semislick is good and I can hook you up for a set when I get mine in June. There are 2 other people interested already and we are all going to Event Oneill in July.
Brake pads are from Japanparts. I think MS pads are the best for stock rotor. Project Mu have new ones and I heard they are not bad either (I think they are model number: HC+ and Level 900).
No Brake line needed unless you are very serious the Autoexe one and the MazdaSpeed ones are the best ones people use.
Cannot wait until track day again.

Peter was not there. The photographer there was Jules. He does the Sydney days. I have already ordered my photo's in high res on a CD. Costs just $55. I had a chat with him so he knew I was going to get the CD so in the afternoon session he took lots of me. On his laptop some of them looked really good
TAKA - how much are we looking at for some semi slicks. Considering I also need to buy some alloy wheels so as I can free the stock ones up for the semi slicks, I am trying to work out how much I need and where in the hell I am going to get it from! The wife will not be happy.

Semi slicks in Potenza RE55s I was quoted for $380 each corner, I have one friend of mine interested and atridge too. One of my other friend is interested on these rims. Pics from Murix. Thanks mate.

The rim and tyre is about $4K. I am going to lure more of you to buy tyre from him to give us all a big discount.

What if we bought 17inch rims for track days. Rims will be cheaper, lighter and the tyres would also be considerably cheaper too you would think.
Just trying to think of ways to keep costs down a little and put into even more track days. Damn you Taka look at what you have done to me....Ahhhh!

Your front rotor may be JUST ok for a 17"
I prefer 18" and I use the stock wheel for $245.
17" save on slick... my friend Integra got the slick from the same place for $320. So not much of a saving. It is up to you though.
I have told the shop about it. They said the stuff are in stock and will be available overnight. I have told him my plan of getting it at the end of June and use the semi slick for 2 weekend on the road to rub the first layer off.

Hey the guy sells the tyre said it is a VERY special price. They are the Potenza RE55S in 245/40-18. You can check them out on www.potenza.jp. Stuart, he said he can get other size too, easy.
Lets get them together

I had those Enkei's RP03 on my last car. They are an awesome wheel. Light and very strong. They were 17inch (17x8) with 225 Toyo's it cost $2200 for all 4. I was actually thinking about getting some in 18's for my 8.
Loved those wheels

I cannot wait until June.

I will probably have to do July 19 on road tyres. I just don't think I'll be able to come up with $4000.00 for extra set of wheels and semi slicks as I will also be very very close to having to replace the current tyres... Another $1600.00.
Danielle will not (no chance) let me spend that much.
I was planning on using my tax refund for the new wheels and semi slicks. So even if I put it in July 1st I doubt I would have the check in time.

Yeah still on the Shitty RE040! Done 21,000km. Friday has seemed to beat them up a bit though. They seem to be a bit slippery on the road (in the dry)
Going to do everything I can though to try and get the wheels & tyres before July. I will start working on Danielle tonight. Wish me luck, Or maybe more appropriately... Pray for me!

The one we have been talking about is at Sandown in Melbourne. If you really want a track day check out this website
http://www.eventsoneill.com
I cannot recommend these track days any more highly.

I checked out the O'Neill site but the only Sydney drive day I could find on it was the Burrows Day which is impossible to get in to. Am I missing something (usually the case :o )?
How do others feel about trying to get a day at Eastern Creek organised for us Sydney-siders (and of course anyone else who wants to travel to be in it)?

Please PM the details and I'll get myself on the list. Must admit though - am track day virgin :o :o :o . Is it suitable for those of us who have much to learn in that dept or should I go and do something more basic first?

Theses days are perfect for us new to this type of experience as you can get one of the instructors to come out with you and start teaching. I learnt so much from just the one day.
