Ta - the combination was too good to pass up. Black 19" Ultraleggera's are my pick at the moment (Doug knows about red cars and black wheels!) and you were right - if importing nothing matches the MPSS for quality/value.

I just spoke to Rob - All RSG guys shipping to AKL should make sure that you are identified as one group and keep Rob informed and he will do his best to get a deal to AKL
Doug you will get charged gst on the shipping charge too but still minor in the scheme of things

Well done pete, great result. What did you get from the experience and what do you think it taught you about your car and your driving. Very different as an experience compared to our short 15 min stints with RSG.
Am keen to get involved in the new year.
See you soon
Cheers Neil

Too late for me, I pulled the trigger on a set of 4 from Pelican Parts. Of all the things that give me the $hit$ on these cars it is jacking them up. A stable pad to hold the car up is worth the cost. I'm also going to manufacture some wooden blocks to act as a short ramp and a fail safe.

I've got some other stands i can use as backup. Spare wheels, etc are a good idea too.
I rang Patch Rubber. $75 inc gst each to Henderson, 8-10 weeks or so for delivery. Guy didn't know about them but is going to bring in a number. He said he wants some for his F-car.
$US61 free shipping CONUS from JB tool sales. Cheapest I could find. Website says they have 49 in stock. Obviously they will arrive when the container does.
Incidentally, shout out to Graeme for the heads up on the Marsden Rowing CLub deal

Oh, bugger. Yes not the cheapest option but how much of a price can you put on your head?!

Did you only buy 2?
There's something in this group shipping. I can't see that we would have the volume to be economic on a regular basis but has anyone looked into the costs of container consolidations? I know some shipping/moving companies offer this but I would be curious to know what the costs are.

Macca, if you want a set let me know and i'll try to have them order enough. I believe they are putting an order through today/tomorrow Did you only buy 2? There's something in this group shipping.

Macca. I just spoke to Ian @ Patch Rubber again. He is going to confirm pricing and delivery by email shortly.
I also asked that if there is enough NZ interested would he consider a group buy. He was open to the idea and understood how these thing work as a member of the Ferrari club. Sooo....
If anyone else is seriously interested let me know and we may get a discounted rate if there's enough of us
Here is some more info http://www.esco.net/tire-changing-eq...productid=204&
The Esco flat top is very popular with the 993 crowd https://rennlist.com/forums/993-foru...p-a-993-a.html. There was a group buy last year and they sold 100's of them in a few weeks it was on so you can see its a well regarded product
