Yeah, it felt fast before the retune, but you could tell that it felt like it was being forced to rev right around 6500 or so. Now it just moves like nothing.
yeah man, this shifter is hella nice. It's better than I thought it would be. I can admit, i got it for the looks and simplicity of the install versus cutting more floor to use a cheap oem shifter, but it's actually really nice to drive with. Since I have it set pretty high up on the shifter arm, the leverage makes shifts a breeze and you can set the shift length through the shifter and the cables, so it's a proper throw without banging gears for no reason.
Thanks man, it's a fun little setup. I'm mostly happy with it because I know im holding it back, so I won't be getting bored of it anytime soon since I have more I can do with it without getting into straight up race car status lol.
I was going to go with tires in that range, but I daily this car still....and after numerous people running through r888, NT01, and AO48's in around 3k miles, it's not worth it for me, on top of the hydroplaning with that small tread depth and design. R888 and AO40's were my first choice but after I weighed the benefits, i see it's not for me. This car doesn't sit in the garage enough for all that.
As well it shouldnt! All that work & attention to detail deserves to be enjoyed regularly.
Thats the first I've ever head that. Good to put more info out from experience, but a lot of us who autocross/track use them FOR the rain because they do so well...haha. I put considerable miles in all sorts of weather. The only issue I found was deep winter below freezing temps, but thats expected due to the compound of the tire.
A prime example of the opposite of ricey sound.
