Fong, how's the wheel/tire setup working for you?
Looks very aggressive, and appears to provide more than enough grip?
Great pics! Outstanding work!
PS don't sell. You'll regret it LOL

The fronts have well...if I may say, too much grip...
I have done a few stupid things with the addtion confidence I have gottenw ith the tires...haha...
I went thru a few turns much faster and without brakes..
Once, I just understeered/plowed into the turn...
another time....well..all I can say was I had a good cleaning session when I got home..
I think there is more grip to be found as I have the car setup to a very neutral alingmnet spec...I think this is the reason why it's have to turn the rear of the car as it keeps "snapping" off....I think I need more camber in the back...
The MPSCs are very good in the rain..I drove them in a rain situation at Thill...pouring rain for the whole day...
A good reason to keep the grooves...
hope all is well on ur end...

very nice pictures and a nice car. i want to second the comment about looking good w the stock body parts.
what spring rate are you running? once i know i will have a comment...
note something really cool about the fd from the pics. even though you have say 3 degrees body roll note how the all important outside front tire is still slightly negative cambered! that's the negative camber gain built into the fd and that is one of the reasons that if properly set up nothing can touch the fd on a road course.
very cool pics. nice car.

12 kg/mm = 670 pounds/inch
14 = 782 pounds/inch
wow, that's alot of spring rate/
pic 1 and 4 interest me.
pic 1 you are under heavy braking and just starting turn-in.
note how nice the camber looks on the outside front wheel. most of the weight has transferred diagonally from the rear right to the front left. note how nice the camber looks on the outside front wheel.that's what makes the front geometry so good on the fd.
pic 4 you are accelerating thru a turn and pulling pretty good lateral g-s. you are close to, but not quite, lifting the inside front wheel which is a function of your rear spring rate. too soft a rear spring and you lift the front inside wheel.
must have been fun.
