Those are great tires but a bit more expensive and i'm not making the same power as you so i didn't bother going with something better

These tires were slighly cheaper and are still a decent tire. I know a guy who had them on his IS300 and he loved them.
Oh okay. That's surprising, I usually think of Hankook as the cheapest of the name brands. I think BFGoodrich are owned by Michelin so I would think they're a better tire than a Hankook alternative.

I don't know, I may be doing stuff with the family. If not, I'll be there! I should find out tomorrow.

You can't go wrong with the Michelin PSS. They're an awesome tire. I have them and couldn't be happier.

Any more word ? I'm getting pretty pumped to have another blast around the track at this point haha, i may actually tune "down" my car as weird as that is so its a little more forgiving in tight corners when i want to get on the gas right away ... thinking i may bring the laptop to the track and have some play time with my tune this go around.

haha that's great man, I know the feeling. The excitement never dies down! yep, I'll be there. I'm really looking forward to timing myself. I've been working a lot on my shifting and braking points and I think I'll have a best time tomorrow . My best unofficial so far has been 1:22.0. My best official was 1:25.2 two years ago. I'm hoping for a 1:20.x and if I get it, I'll probably go to the time attack on Sunday to set an official time. Are you going on Sunday?

I'd imagine it's showing you the mobile site if you're on your phone. I've never used it so I don't know where things are. If you go on a computer and click on a picture to view, there should be a bunch of links next to it. Click on the IMG code and that will copy the link then paste it where you'd type a reply.

Cylinder 3 died I believe. Shitty thing to happen to a car you just bought ... I'd be talking to who sold me the car.
