Tomorrow is the first day I'll be on my RS-3's so it should be interesting and a great learning experience compared to stock tires.

Can we get an update?

Looks interesting.

I wonder what the OEM hood weighs? Anyone?

If the CF hood is heavier, why would anybody .. oh, never mind, I thought these hubcaps were cool .. and they were heavier than OEM ..

Yeah, carbon fiber does look very cool though. It would be keen to go all Koenigsegg Regera on our car and replace all the exterior panels with full carbon fiber.

Like the Sebon all Carbon Fiber Lotus Elise they had at SEMA back in 2009.

Either looks or vents. There are no aftermarket vented aluminum hoods that I'm aware of

I'm still very much a rookie. But, compared to the stock tires these are night and day. I was worried that I wouldn't get much feedback (Noise) but was mistaken. When pushed hard they were very good at holding ground, yet when in controlled slide would send plenty of feedback.

I'm running 205/55 R16. They're a tad wider than the stock 215's. I had plenty of grip for what I was trying to accomplish (Improved braking and improved lines) I was concerned that I would see to much folding over but that wasn't the case. They're known for having a softer sidewall. A bit more air pressure fixed that. I'm very happy with them.

Got an oil change last week. Toyota doesn't poor from bottles labeled, they go somewhere in the back and fill this canister with the oil needed. After he puts the oil in, he then turns on the engine and revs it to redline 2-3 times. Any ideas why they did this?

Reving, no. The bottles though, I'm sure they have a 55 gallon drum of oil they use

So the engine seizes 100 miles after the power train warranty is out!
