I'm about to hit 6k miles in the GT3 (first 4k was on the drive across country), anything in particular I should have done? I'll need to replace the rear tires soon as they are getting fairly worn down, are these readily available yet?

if you haven't, i would do an oil change by now.
4500 miles and catching up ;o)

 

6200 miles and the tires look brand new in front and plenty of tread left on the rears.

 

LonnieR, are you related to ben FR?
i used to chat with him on bimmer board when i had my E36/8, the "shoe car".

 

Hi Mooty- Guilty as charged. Ben_FR is my son. As a matter of fact, his M Coupe has just been sold and will be departing this thursday.
He's up in NY City where having a car is next to nuts so he is currently carless.

 

Hi LonnieR, I'm in Boston, my GT3 was put away w/5800 on 12/5 the day our big storm hit. Every thing was fine then. Going to leave it there until March. Must be nice to be using your car now. We are now enjoying a heat wave this week, 28 degrees. Last week 0 to -10.

 

What can I say? I drive my car every day-when I left work this afternoon it was 80F.

Got to move to sunny florida!

 

Lonnie, ben is carless!? must be painful....
when he's interviewing, i believe i told him SF is the place to be.... but NYC isn't so bad.... he gets to fly down to FL and have fun with your GT3. last i remember he was trying to get a E46M3?

i like your color choice, biased of course ;o)

 

Mooty- Actually he did get an M3. He had it for about a year and I kept the M Coupe down here in Florida. When he went to NYC we sold the M3. The guy who bought that car proceeded to blow two engine on it within 3 months!

 

lonnie, those m3 motors are too higly strung. i regret i sold my 2000 shoe car. it had the S52 easy going engine like ben's.
