also finally sold my other rig so hopefully get some $$$ for mods, though i think first to come are new back tyres (due to camber, i havent had the balls to do a proper burnout in this haha) im open to suggestions on that one? its currently wrapped in nexen n3000 and i was pretty happy with how they handled, in saying that im just after a nice looking tyre that grips well and doesnt cost a fortune.

Thanks for looking everyone :)

Nexen are pretty good for the money, same with Achilles ATR sport. The N6000's are really decent i've found. What sort of money are you looking at spending? Are you looking for 235/40R18?
