You'd be better off running RE55s as a daily driver tyre. They wear at about the same rate and are worth 2 seconds minimum per lap over the Azenis..

But then he will be in the next class up, running againts the big power rwd's. They sound like they might be worth while for staying in standard class. How much a corner are they?

Sounds like it will only be 4 or 5 cars battling it out next season in RWD modified..

when exactly does the car become classed as "modified"?

as in, at what level of modification...

But honestly, track days just arent as much fun when each one is costing you around $800...when you add up entry, fuel, tyres, pads etc.

They are plenty of fun for the $350 odd they cost when you run crappy road rubber.

I will be sticking with road rubber from now on, but with the mods to the car will mean i still run in modified...but so what. The car moving around with less grip means i dont need to spend more money on the bigger motor so that its more entertaining to drive.

So, my new ethos: AWD cheater, semis are gay! Run what ya brung baby, The way track days should be

RE55s for a dail driver would send me bonkas as well as broke. Based on the kms i normally do, thats 2 sets of semis plus the tyres i use on the track. Odds are that 3 sets of $1500, i use to track my car 10 times a year for less then $4000m inc entry, tyres , the whole show

Im moving bak to Sydney where you can do Open Track Days and just go have fun, and you get 5 or so 20 minute session a day. Not 15-20laps

So, i have even fallen for this talk of needing to go faster, so time to re-adjust what i want from it...FUN! Fark times

Yours is modified...

You're not getting out of it that easily!

I think R compound puts you straight in modified, as well as turbo modifications etc

There is a criteria somewhere around here...

depending on size about $350 a corner I think

interesting point on the RE55's... maybe once I get around to doing the turbo I will step up to a set

[Downforce]

Yep... R compound tyres, upgrades to injectors, turbo upgrades = modified class.
