i just called to followup on my order... it's such a mess... on the 615 they have 1 each of the front and rear... rear should some soon but the front isn't expected until august now... on the 660, fronts are available but the rears are still unknown...

will do...will try to request some info tomorrow.
RT615k+ are the better street tire for northern climates from what I feel so far in the Spring/fall seasons... 660's a purer R compound like a052 or similar... cold nights are exciting

No, but I would be lying if I said that wasn't a motivating factor to get a new box.

Now, after I have saved a little less beer money, I will have the original box built to the same spec so I can have a true spare...

So it looks like probably the motor and transmission are coming out (oy vey) to fix some issues, including a problem with the pressure plate and my wiring harness likely needing replacement. @2fcknfst and I have been making a shopping list for my car, which is so far including, but not limited to:

-Wavetrac LSD
-New clutch uprated for the power I'm actually pushing (1.2 bar Markski tune in the high 5's)
-BBi Clutch Slave Conversion
-Possibly Numeric cables
-All new rubber everything
-Confirm everything is pinned/welded as I was told when the car was sold to me
-GT3 Dipstick conversion


Anything else, "while we're in there"?

-Matt
