Got offered 15% off by my local dealer on Friday. As they are only 10 mins up the road the collection/delivery cost will be virtually NIL. So it looks like I'm gonna go for it with them.

Sorry Guy's.....

Ah, that's agood point.

There's only really been communication from 3 of us (inc. ANDYSCOOBS who's already placed his order).

Need to know if TOPGUNTONE and DARIO are still in or not I suppose.

Assuming everyone orders this week, what's delivery likely to be? a few days, week or longer?

Delivery depends on stock levels, I think.
I know they have 14 P-WRC1's in gold, and delivery is expected to be 48 hours from stock.
Not sure what it is if they have to re-stock tho'

Hi guys!

I'm still in the only thing thats bothering me is that Martin says you can't get Pirelli P-Zero Neros in 225/35/18 to fit on the P1. Any suggestions for good tyres at a reasonable Price?

Toyo's every time for me.
Had pirrelli's on an earlier Scoob and found them very understeery in the wet. Swapped to Toyo's and they were alot better IMHO.

See http://www.mytyres.co.uk/start.html for prices.

Hmmm, am at Japfest all day tomorrow (6:45am start!! ) Any chance I can ring this guy on Monday and possibly place an order then, or is Saturday the definite end date (in which case I'll see what my local dealer can do )

We needed 5 for the go-ahead on those prices. I would phone Martin direct and ask him if he can phone in your order on Monday. It's gonna take a few days to get them from Subaru UK anyway.

Martin Adams @ Wilsons number is 020 8598 4104

Just spotted the above cut off date...bugger.

I've been at Japfest all day too, and have had a good look at all the wheel options about. And I still want the P-WRC1's.

I guess I'll have to call Wilsons on Monday to see if I can still take part.

If not I may settle for some Speedline GT1's from elsewhere

Been trying to contact them all morning.......

However, in the meantime someone has dangled an uprated Turbo under my nose

Also I have a nasty feeling that if I go to 18's I will have to lower the car (to stop it looking like a roller-skate). However, I cannot lower the car due to clearance when entering my garage (the nose will hit the floor).

So I think I may just get the 17's re-furb'd and follow the bigger turbo path.

So, have we still only 4 confirmed?

My tyres are needing replaced ASAP and I can't put off some buy more than a week or so at most.

Got a phone call from Martin this morning telling me my wheels are in

The world pay service is playing funny burgers, so waiting on Postvan getting back to me on a collection.
