This is great news. I keep hearing that the IPR shifter has a lot of issues regarding rattles and NVH. Obviously that's a non-issue if my car was a full race car but less than ideal for daily...

This is really good to know. I winter daily this car and the knee-high snow storms are going to keep me up all night if I had vented my hood.

I had Ventus V2 Evo2 tires before Indy500s and now I'm on Hankook RS4. I find the RS4's are better overall in nearly all categories when street driving and of course way more grip on the track. Less...

I got regular Tein Flex A's and I'm telling you right now I feel like I should have saved a bit more and gotten a KW based coilover like these RCE SS1's.

I can confirm. I put that same Vibrant resonator and it eliminated all the drone. Truly amazing. I dare to say it's "silent" when holding RPMs and idle, but is loud when you step on the gas. Exactly...
