With away events, we should consider the fairness of having our membership subsidize those events that are not financially feasible on their own. A significant portion of our membership does not attend away events. Is it fair for one event? Two? Would the majority membership be better served with an...

Big save!

For sale set of (4) brand new Maxxis Victra RC-1 racing tires 205 50 15, never mounted on car. 1716 date codes, wheels not included tires will be dismounted for sale. $600 new from Maxxis asking $450. Looking to switch to street tires if I run this year. Located in Woburn, can meet within reason. ht...

Chinesium bearings, re-using hubs, improper installation, take your pick! There are no good aftermarket hubs available. Koyo, Timken, SKF all good bearings as you probably know if trying to save a few bucks over genuine. Also if the knuckle is really awful and rusty, new ones from Subaru are fairly ...

I'm so sorry to hear this Bob, Emily and I are thinking of you and Laura. Hoping for the best possible outcome.

Selling a used set of Toyo RR 205 50 15. Late 2016 date codes, I estimate these have two weekends left. I'm using a different tire this year so I don't need them. No flat spots, plugs, etc. $150

Also, do you need to take a point for your LSD? Some E46s must have come with them stock.

Who has had good experience with someone who does roll bar/cage within reasonable distance of the Boston area? I may want to get a tube added to my existing roll bar. Thanks

The RE-71R is supposed to be the best tire in that category now. Any max performance street tire has a shorter life in general. They are definitely the cheapest and longest lasting track tires though. Like any other tire when the tread gets low they become more prone to hydroplaning. I've run these ...
