Not what I was expecting for your video (I was thinking it would be more like Jesse Budano's S14 vid) but definitely awesome. I would also like to see some update pics

After coming out of the hairpin turn at the top of the hill there is a downhill section where you transition into a left hander. That transition is pretty long and it being my first time I was struggling with it all day. It Usually leads to long ebraking, I ebraked into it after transitioning and let go with out putting power down. The car whipped the other direction into a rut. There's a lesson I learned for sure haha.

205/50/16 front

225/45/16 rear
205/55/16 rear

The difference between the rears was almost unnoticeable. So I was able to keep it pretty consistent after swapping spares.

good to know, thanks for the quick reply, awesome driving btw!

with the 205/50 in front and with the 5mm spacer to clear the brakes, can I get away with a roll + camber? Trying to get away with not attempting to cut/pull the front fenders.

Sure no problem and yes, you should be just fine with a roll.

Did out ever have any overheating issues while running the stock top mount and a NA hood?

Also you are still on then NA drivetrain correct? Scared of snapping stub shafts?

Not really, based on when I was n/a. 16s and 17s are easy to spin in the dry. 18s are pretty difficult and are more fun in the rain. But now everything feels the same with boost lol.

Nope no overheating issues but the air going into my motor is definitely hotter than what it should be. I don't recommend it. Yes I am still rocking the n/a drivetrain and no not really worried about it. My skinny tires lose traction before I put any crazy strain on the drivetrain. Biggest I'm probably going to run on n/a drivetrain is 235s.

What havnt you changed the Hood or the Intercooler. You know its not good, why not fix it. I love the car but that problem really bothers me for some reason.

Plus FMIC's Look really nice
