Weds wrapped in R888s. Baller status confirmed.

That looks awesome. Tires look like they stick so well.
Alignment? |

Just an update on these tires:
They are LOUD! Lol but not a terrible sound, similar to an airplane-esque sound. Handling: They're perfect. I have full confidence in whatever I'm doing Water-They're okay in the rain, as long as I don't drive like a dingus. Awful in standing water. |

http://s1070.photobucket.com/user/Ja...]=1&sort=1&o=6 Wrap arrived :) New 5AD lip en route pending sale, I opted to replace the lip due to some inexperienced driving on a newly lowered FRS(doh!) I've talked with Ben Taylor @ Redstart Racing in Lacey and they'll be installing the wrap. I've also recently successfully swapped in a Subaru clutch slave cylinder (Ref: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=77390), and I'm absolutely in love with the new feel of the clutch. -being unable to feel ~90% of my feet, it really helps me find the engagement point~ I've made the decision to go with the Full Race Motorsports EFR turbocharger kit. I have yet to decide on the size/specs for the turbo itself, I'll update soon with the decision I've come to. Debating on building the block with it at the same time. Does anyone have any recommendations for a local builder? |

Quick update:
Got a hell of a steal on a SARD LSR Carbon Wing over the weekend. Very excited to have this on the car! Picked up some odds and ends(wax remover, double sided 3M tape, etc) to help remove the body kit and remove any/all wax from the car prior to getting wrapped **Forgot to add earlier in thread, added the 3" tomei catback a few months ago, not going to include pictures, because you all know what it looks like, lol** |

Swung by Mark 2 Collision to have the paint on the lip redone(note all the huge rockchips in previous photos).
They did an absolute stellar job. Very cool atmosphere and down-to-earth people. I'll be taking my business there exclusively from now on. :) Check them out! |

I've run the R888 before and you'll be lucky to get 12k miles out of them. They need a little heat before they really do their job. I'd recommend RE71-R, RE-11A, star Specs, or similar over the R888 for anything less than a track only car, especially if daily driving in super rainy Seattle. I've been through a couple sets of RE11 and they last around 50K give or take and nearly as awesome, plus more than track worthy.

The R888's as a whole were more of something I felt I needed to do to give some sort of homage to the wheels. |
