OK, then get a beater Subaru and drive it backwards. More or less the same.

BTW I'll buy all the used Dmacks and BFGs you can find me . For the right price.

Our RallyCross 911 came with some polished original Fuchs wheels in 16x6 and 16x7 in the correct offsets for the car: +35 and +23. They really shined up well with a little polish too. Not that I would ever admit to owning any polish mind you. Needless to say we are not going to rallycross 28 year old 16" polished classics like these so they have to go. They are in great shape with no evidence of cracks nor any curb rash. 100,00 mile on the car so 100,00 miles on these I guess. Tires are 205/55 and 215/50 Michelin XGT all seasons with 6/32" of even tread depth but we will sell with or without. My partner Dick put them on eBay this morning:

I don't think with shipping they'd be that good a deal, you know I was thinking the other day about how Team Illuminati sounded really familar.... I was actually gonna buy some used tires off you a few years ago before I met my buddy moose! haha, it was acutally those tires I broke the crank on my 83 saab with.... oh well

I'm saving up right now to try and get a ride for Targa Tasmania in April, seeing as I don't spend too much time stateside anymore... I was gonna build the car, but I'm running out of time, I've found a couple nice historic datsuns, and a few nice evo III's just needs some spare cash monies!

btw's duder you'll sell those fuchs faster on pelican in the parts section, don't really need to post your ebay ad everytime you slang some parts off it

team illuminata

Your probably right. That's the problem with the used rally tire business, once I cleaned out all the locals I couldn't afford t bring in tires from far afield. The numbers just didn't work.

I've always had reasonable success selling our cast off stuff on eBay. new to this world of Pelicans. Perhaps I'll try that next time. Thanks for the advice.

Targa Tasmania

Yeah really really hoping to get it this year, but its gonna be tight... I'm finishing up a project in Saudi right now, and won't be out of here til Feb... Than I gotta renew my passport, and do some visa work for Australia which won't get me to Australia til late March, sooo I'll have maybe 3-4 weeks at best to shake the car down, and pack everything up!

At the very least I'm going this year even if its as a spectator

team illuminata

That would be incredible. Hope it works out for you. I keep thinking about Targa Newfoundland. I'm less then 20 miles from Canada so in the back of my mind Newfoundland can't be that far but in reality I think Tasmania might be closer. We need a Targa Michigan, U.P. style!

Wait, what??? You are thinking of taking your own car down there? Now we are talking? Got a link to the event?

big project

congrats! love the avatar. I live in royal oak, and work for superlite cars / race car replicas. where are you located? I just picked up an '80sc roller, trying to figure out what to do with it. so far i'm leaning towards standing mile racing...

mfyoung1086

No the fiance is from Sydney (and well still lives there as well), I've though about importing the 911 on a rally car specific license, but in the end to get the car race ready + shipping there and back equal wayyyy more than I want

Plus I found a coupe race ready evo III's for less than the ^^^ above would have cost, so I'lm just gonna get my car in Syd and take it down

team illuminata

Wow, small world. Superlite! never knew they were made here. How did I miss this?

I live in Birmingham, shop/warehose is in Pontiac. Where is Superlite's place? I'd love to get a peek inside.

As for the SC; RALLY CAR!

Only one day to go on this Carbon Fiber duck tail auction. let me know if you prefer a different shipping method to the one eBay quotes. Greyhound for example.

Amber Gramps

Ya know we start questioning your sanity when you quote yourself.....but then again, we were already doing that.

Love the avatar.
