after a fresh wash & wax:  full tank of E85 (also after that fresh wax):  i also flushed out my brake fluid, since it's been way too long since i've done that maintenance task. i'll be swapping to 93 Turbo brakes sometime soon, once i order the carbotech pads, but figure i'll do an autocross or two and maybe a track day on the current setup. might also need a larger-bore master cylinder when i do the brake swap.

had a local autocross today. i'll post some pictures when they're available, but basically i'm INCREDIBLY PLEASED with the new suspension setup and extra torque from the E85 tune (and the increase in boost pressure it allows). the car is super balanced and stable, very controllable and easy to rotate with throttle and/or trail braking.
with my 205 front and 225 rear Toyo T1Rs i was way under-tired today, but it made it fun dancing with the car. i had to be extremely gentle with the throttle and careful with the brakes, which just made it that much more fun. i made an impression on a few people, who commented that the car looked quick, and very fun to watch.

thanks! thought you might like it, haha. i'm really happy with my tuner. that curve was 100% street tuned so far.
it makes the car super fun to drive on the street. can't wait to get it out on the road course!
