Looks like someone caught me going across the line

As I recall my tire pressures were way high (I had set them to 45 psi for the trip and forgot to take them down) for the first few Dragon runs so the car was driving like absolute poo through all 318 turns

I did the same thing to my tires, I didn't even think about it until I went to get gas.

ditto: GT35R

And don't think it terms of lag as all or nothing with respect to a single turbo like the 35R.
I'll see 3...5...7psi of boost all the way down around 2000rpms and at 3000 it will blow 10psi with my dailed in 15 psi available at about 3400.

NY Times Square, Bitches!

Enough chatter boys, you can discuss your sleepover via PMs

This pic was taken this past Saturday night on the exotic car fun run Dan and I took part in. Here you can see him driving his rotary rocket sled with me riding shotgun and Stitch peaking out over the driver's seat.

Notice the F355 behind us? He tried to take us off the last light and it didn't work out too well for him

Attached Thumbnails Post Some Pics of your FD! :D  &lt;- Pics of your car go in this thread!!-scrubbynyc.jpg

I'm curious because you say you have no rubbing, what is the rolling diameter of the tires on your car? What make/size tires?

I have 275/45/17 PS1's with 25.6" rubber diameter on the front of my FD with rolled fenders and the tires have rubbed my brand new liners through in under 1000 miles at a moderate ride height. Handling is sub-par as a result so I will be switching to 255's up front which will put me back at 25."

i mean its not exactly an rpf1 but its not bad for a 20 lol

275s in 17" sizes don't work on the front of a FD that is actually driven like an FD.

Honestly, you really don't need more than 255s on the front of a street driven FD. Heck, I know someone that does just fine with 255s up front on a real, fully prepped, RACECAR FD.
