The RE-11 is in the ultra high performance range, I use them on the street and seem very capable as a track tyre, however if I was going to get a set of dedicated track rims I'd probably be going to a semi slick

Tell me more about these, are these a track only tyre? I'm looking for something just for the track but it would be handy if they were the same width so I can rotate. I was thinking 265's all round. I also have to take a 19' due to the rotor's.
There are 18"s that will fit over the Harrop BBK, I'm pretty sure their car has 18's with 275 semi slicks all round. You can contact Heath at Harrop or I can find out for you. I know they ran their car at PI just over a week ago for some testing |

Exhaust is great thanks Dave, glad I got the valved system, much more civilised for daily driving (and when the missus is in the car), but I still have it open quite a bit!

I think it sounds great, just the right amount of rasp and very quite under 4k. But then it's like my child so hard to be subjective... It could be ugly as fk and I'd still think it looks cute. |

Harrop brings in forgeline 1 piece/3pieces race wheels. If not mistaken, heath's m3 is running 18" GA3R
There are other selected 18" that will clear the bbk. Apex arc, Advan, Volks |

Thanks, ill email Apex.
This was the rubber my mate recommended, any idea what the optimal width would be on the e92? 265/35? http://www.tractiontyres.com.au/a050.php |

I've read a lot of your posts recommending the MPE. I think I would buy it but not the TP's.. Is the price worth the sound improvement over stock?
