Mounted some 265/35/19 and 275/35/19 Michelin Pilot Super Sports and got an alignment. Been dealing with really loud feathered tires for a few months and its unreal the difference the Michelin's made. Grip is in another league and tire noise is all but non-existent.

Combined with the Pop Charger heat shield I see you have. It's probably a much better setup. If I remember correctly, the MAF section is bigger than the stock 65mm restriction.

Took a nice drive about 2 hours south of my 'burb. Spent the night at a B&B.

Had a flickering HID bulb. Bought a new pair, then when I went to change it turned out to be a loose socket. This business of disassembling the entire front of the car to change bulbs is getting old.

Don't you just access the bulb through the wheel well liner?

I didn't exactly do it, but had something "done" to me. While passing a 3 car pile up the other morning on the drive into work. Someone was nice enough to hit some flying debris hard enough to make it fly across the lane and hit me right above the rear wheel to break the paint off in two small chips.

Ran Big Willow for the first time. Was running real good times....then I jumped groups and got into my head and ended in the dirt. All the damage was a skid plate. Ripped it off and back at it


Car is really quick. It's a track wheel and tire set up along with sway bars away from low 140s. I ran 145 constantly before I went in the dirt. With what I just said I definitely see 143 easily

Good stuff that you got onto the track, sucks you went off. What corner did you do your off-roading in?

Hope to see you out there soon, I can work with you a bit, and your should pay the rate to work with Steven Dourghty for a session.

Got it up on jack stands and put a space heater near it to melt all the snow that blew in there during the last storm. Time to put the new sway bars in. Well, after a little drying out.











Heres a pic from the first NASA track day of the year. Didn't even try to get out of the driveway.

Yes, but you have to live in Florida.

Great looking car. Dig the color.
