Dave I may be interested. Would you consider shipping them to the UK? Obvioulsy I would cover the cost.

Also how many heat cycles on the Hoosiers? To keep the weight down (for shipping costs) it may be better to take the tyres off....

Matteo, those hoosiers are LIGHT like air. The only issue you'll have is the size, although if it's shipped on a pallet it won't make much difference. Even if you're throwing away the hoosiers, they'll make good rim protectors in transit.....

Hi Matteo, yes I will ship to the UK at cost, that’s not an issue for me. The pair of front tires I have only used once, for one trackday, the rears have been used on 3 trackday’s total. I would say on average that I do about 3 sessions per trackday and at most I do around 5-10 laps per session. I can also confirm for trackday use these tires are amazing. I think its nice to have these if you do any kind of track use as if nothing else you don't wear out your road tires. Superfly’s idea of a pallet to protect the wheels is a good one; I could arrange them being put on one if you wish. But I guess the extra weight could increase the shipping cost?

Dave thank you.

I am really excited.... The GT now should be faster than a 997 GT3 Cup car at a track like Silverstone. Which means a lot of Ferrari guys will be really upset :box:

Matteo,

Cant wait to hear when you've collected some more dancing donkey scalps (and perhpas some from our Porker RS brethren!)

I wonder if the grooves mean they are accepted by plod? :biggrin


God I hate Ferraris! :thumbsdow

ha ha.... Tomkat and his Scud have already been dealt with (he was on slicks):banana

The only road car that was keeping up was the new 997GT2 on Pilot Sport Cups....

There is a drawback.... I need to go back to the stock exhaust as the X pipe is way too loud and the Borla has fallen apart:eek

excellent! :biggrin

997Gt2's are indeed quick - wish I'd kept mine but luckily got out of it before they took a big hit and gt2.2 is on the way soon - would be quite a track weapon if they could take a little more weight out and gave it PDK!

On the exhaust front - can Dave J at Roush (or Revolve as they are now) not hook you up with something that will do the job??

My Borla's interior baffles came apart, but Borla replaced it free of charge with a noticably more structurally enforced unit. Give them a call ....

Tried... warranty is not available for products that left the country... A bit pissed about that but there is nothing I can do.

We are going to take the muffler apart and see what we can do....
