    Man, you got them cheap!! When I used to run the 595RS-R's, I cut one, and had to fork over $300 at Bob Jane!!

    I don't think the current RS-R are the same as the original one though... they're less "semi-slick" than they were (from memory).

    I originally had the plain 595RS, which I got for $150, brand new, but they were surplus from a one make racing series, and this was in mid 08. In Jan 09 I cut a tyre in a pot hole, and this is when I had to get the RS-R (for $300), as they had stopped making the RS. Visually, the tread pattern is exactly the same, but now there is and extra 'R' on the sidwall, and apparently the compound is of a different construction, but that is it as far as I know.

    Yes but they are only 205/45/16 and were meant to be on sale..... But after an evening's hooning - well worth the money

    Removed my side skirts. I prefer them without, its a pretty basic job, just slow getting the tape / glue off where it stuck to the car instead of the plastic skirt.

    last night - went for a brap with gtidave in the passenger seat, had the latest fairlady (370) waiting for me over the bridge on yarra bend....

    he annihilated me within 5 corners... but then i let him overtake, and he baited me.

    got out on the bridge on the run back, had a great chat - those things are SO capable, stock.

    p.s. he came from humble beginnings, and he gave good props to the polo for apex-to-out-of-corner poke. as well as decent mid corner speed (i r7ped my tyres)

    Found out that it looks like I need to replace my front sway bar links. I can't find the mondeo ones I used to have on my car. Does anyone have any spare??
