Haven't experienced that in particular but at Ebisu I used to switch tires from one side to the other because you use right rear tire a lot more so putting the tires on opposite sides gave me like 15more laps.

The direction of the tread is there soley for water shedding purposes.

I might put it back on before I go tune it, but I need to figure out where I want to stuff my coils first.

The whole reason I did it this way was so it didnt have tons of couplers and 4 million bends. Thats about $100 in stainless and $60 in couplers still though....

Does anyone know of or possibly have an electric powersteering setup in their car????

I don't know of anyone but it is something I have been looking at since I removed my ps and depowered the rack. I know that the 07 and up nissan sentra's have electric pws I have a unit and am looking at how to fit it in my car.

Running directional tires in reverse will make it last longer and kick out abit easier. Look at haraguchi, he runs his rear directional tires in reverse.Try running em in reverse in the rain and see what happens hahahah
Lovin the setup slidealliance.

Where do you guys plan to mount the pump? I was thinking maybe between the radiator and the engine?

can you flip the intercooler so there is less pipe? you'll get a little quicker boost response...
