What's up Rez? I've seen you a few times rolling in Camarillo. I should of pulled you over. Haha.

On that note, I've seen some nice rotaries in the Camarillo area in the last few months. One of them is a slammed RX8. If you ever see a cop staring at your rotary, it's probably me. Haha

Just wanted to share some pictures of some vinyl wrapping I had done locally by a good friend. It's amazing how this stuff can go around some aggressive corners and look like paint..The white mustang was originally gloss black and they wrapped the entire car flat white.
Let me know if anyone needs work done.

the only place i have seen first hand and is real quality would be star autobody off 5th street in oxnard, only problem i have seen with this shop usually you cannot just show up and drop your car off to get work done usually takes a first visit to consult then a appointment to drop the car off. keep us posted like DriftDreamz mentioned.

Oh yeah, rattle can for sure! Anyone know where to get big bottles of pre mix for cheap? Walmart doesn't have the 1 gallon jugs anymore and I hate buying it by the quart.

Red face 2 FCs in Fillmore

Hi All -
Show of hands? I have two...hands and 2nd gen RX-7s.

My '88 convertible has been my daily driver over Grimes Canyon between Fillmore and Thousand Oaks since I moved here from PA. I also have a disassembled '87 T-II. Yeah, it's a long story.

I'm planning on being able to squeeze in a few track days this year, still soo much to do. Picked up these 18" 5zigen FN wheels. Still trying to decide which tires to go with. This wheel setup will only see drives to the track and a occasional canyon drives. Any input on tires? I'm pretty torn between Nitto NT01//Falken Azenis//Dunlop Star Spec.

Nitto NT01. The other tires suck. Look at the wear ratings too. I believe NT01 is 100 wear. The lower the wear rating, the stickier the tires.

Yeah, those nt01's are R-comps right? They should grip better than the other 2 that are more traditional performance street tires. I run federal 595 rsr's just because they are super cheap grip pretty good and wear decent for a 140 tread wear tire, but I think all 3 you mentioned are better.

Then again, I'm pushing over 400 at the rear with traction problems in 2nd.
I'd definetly get 100-180 wear tires. They will stick much better than a 200+ wear tire for the track.

wow i didn't realize the Federals are that inexpensive and have a 140 treadwear. Looks like for the amount of use the tires will get Nitto NT01 is the winner. Time to start searching for the best price now. Thanks for the input guys!
