I think the Civic fitment is a 18x9 +50. That's really my dream setup, but it'll cost quite a bit for me since I need to get them imported from Japan.

Fender vent is carbon fibre one from Canada. I ordered it long time ago. Don't get me started but I dropped one on the track last Friday. So I am looking into getting something else. Not in a hurry though. Aussie dollar is so weak at the moment.

I use Dunlop Direzzla 02G 245/40-18. They are semi slicks (r spec) tyres. I like it over any other Japanese ones on the market.

There are 2 of them. +50 and +35. I will go for +35 but guard will need some attention as it will rub. +50 is AOK for stock car. Yes it is good.

Yes. I like the knight sports and prob will get those down the track.

There is a knight sports distributor in Australia. Adelaide. I am sure shipment will be cheaper.

I had the privilege to meet the president of Knight Sports last year. They are some serious fellows... haha.

lol Oh yeah? I'm really impressed by their race car to be honest. It kind of inspires my build towards my car a bit. I really like their Advan RZ they on their car too but I dunno.. lol. Price is pricey. good quality stuff they have though.

I better order the RX-7 magazine, all the RX-8 tuners are having a race on few circuits of Japan. RE Amemiya, Knights Sports, Fujita, but also Panspeed and Revotune are there. The latter 2 are known to be the fastest.

Anyone fitted the latest SA-67? Looks really neat, but not sure if they have the 'GTR' concave face for that aggressive look at the rear of our 8.

I have not, but they are both registered vendors on NASIOC, IWSTi, EvoM and most likely other forums too, you can also check out Evasive Motorsports they have some WEDS as well.

Yes. But only for the last 2 years or so

The TC-105N is the replacement wheel for the TC-005. It is a similar style and a little lighter IIRC. Finding TC-005's is next to impossible. I picked up the 2nd to last 17x9 set that Tire Rack had back in January, the last set sold the next day. I'm a big fan of the TC-005 and I was sad when TR didn't pick up the TC105N.
