Just bought a set of NT01 in 205/50-15, $712 to my door. So ~$40 for tyre fitting and balancing, comes to ~$750 for a full set fitted, which is pretty damn good i think.

As for the race seat just get Automotive Plus to do it. If a Sparco Sprint V suits your need, they can fit it and get it engineered. I think the mod plate for my seat through them was about $120 or so but Id have to double check that.

Car (on the Direzza Z11's) has done 1.08.47 Lakeside in July, 1.09.117 in November on hotter track Surface.

We have similar cars (1991 making 167rwkw on 15psi but running 10psi (unsure of actual power output but if feels significantly less)) on stock Bilstein suspension, Enkei RPF1's with worn out KU36 tyres. I did a 1:08.38 last time at Lakeside but felt like there was more time in the car if I was a better driver. I've read elsewhere on this site that the Direzza Z11's would lap quicker than KU36's so I was considering trying them for 2015.

I've previously ran R888's many years ago when I was stock except swaybars and I was seconds faster and the car was very stable at QR and Lakeside despite the extra power I have now. I stopped running R spec tyres due to the cost and the wear rate, but if I had the funds I would run them every time.
