Be careful with CT, they might fail you for you tires...not enough tread depth on the MPSC. If you need I have a set of new MPS2's that you can borrow. Not mounted on wheels yet.

Thanks for the caution and generous offer Ed. Barrier checked the tread depth on the MPSC's and both far exceed the minimum requirement. I also have a set of MPS2's mounted on Carrera Classics from my C4S that I can bolt on in a pinch

I have had RIV checks with CT, and they make stuff up. They failed a car I was bringing in because there were no working lights behind some corner markers. The markers were reflectors!

Got my temporary permit this afternoon and I'll be at Main St Cdn Tire in the AM - last time there with the C4S was a breeze - could have had something to do with the fact the Shop Manager is a car guy, drives a Dinan modded M3. Hope he's not on a day off!

Hey Ed, got to Canadian Tire at the open, no issues although the boys couldn't quite figure out the Sport Cups - they just ain't like their Motomasters ! Got the Provincial and Federal inspections in-hand by 9:00am and was registered, insured and on the road in another hour. What fun. Drove around North Vancouver for a while then back to the office. Looking forward to some seat time on the weekend! Thanks for all your help and encouragement Ed!

Great news Lloyd, I am sure that you must be really happy. It felt like eternity for me, must have been worse for you!

I am thinking of driving out to watch the auto cross (with my son) tomorrow. Let me know if you want to go for a drive.

First off, i think we are having this discussion way to early. I put 50lbs in the tires and use a maintainer. I like to start it 2x per month let it warm up a bit and move the oil around.
