I have given up on that tinted film. Thanks for giving it to me but I've lost my patience.

Haha, no worries. Mine has settled down some more. I am tempted in the future to get the ruby red tint, see how that looks.

Haha so last night i went to my mates 21st and he lives on a property, My car acted like a snow plow ! it just picked up every pit of mud and plowed it along. Just FYI road tires dont make good mud tyres at one stage i was siting on a tiny incline driving up the padoc the car got slower and slower but Rpms were still holding steady at 2.5k until finally the car came to a halt and mud started flying everywhere ... wooopppsss, i ended up having to reverse up the hill .

On another note. Ive been trying to get hold of some Toyo R888 Proxes semi slicks i can only find 1 dealer in Brisbane who stocks theses and they want $447 a piece, does anyone know where i can grab these online by any chance ? unfortunately tire rack don't stock toyo :'(

Try "St George Tyres Online" - they have an ebay store. A bit hit and miss as to what they have at any one time but I've seen R888s on there (not sure if they were MINI size). Steve's bought off them before.

just tried looking overseas and the tyres are alot cheaper but shipping is going to be a killer at around $200USD a tyre. ST george tyres loks like the goer, might also have a loking into their gun metal racing rims at the same time.

I dont think ill be going to the mini event on sunday, but i looks like ill be attending the track day in july
