I'd love to be in but I have a dodgey fuel pump and don't know if my replacement will be here in time.
edit: also how advisable is it to bring another set of tyres?

I got quoted about $1400 for 17x8 all round with rubber (can't remember what type).
I know Jax in Liverpool quoted me with Pirelli P7000's for $1600
just copy SPEED but make it monthly. You can't go wrong. (Oh take out the skanky women ads aswell, there's no need for that in a car mag - if I want to see scantily clad women I'd buy FHM...)
looks like a short shifter to me. Not a C's kit (I just installed mine the other day). Not the stock one either.
The throw on that looks real short as the angle of the shaft is quite "aggressive"
I got quoted $1100 for hi-tech for a cat back on my R32 (3" cat back with 4" tip/6" cannon).
I notice quite a few people have hi-tech mufflers so I guess they must be doing something right!
