Good job -- who says this car is too small???
Five days after picking up the FR-S, I'm at 925 km. Should be good to go for the Solo2 event on Saturday.
I got the sticky tires put on today and was surprised how they took the edge off smaller bumps and cracks in the road. Since the Kumho XS's are intended for autocross etc I thought the carcass would be stiffer and the ride might suffer. But the opposite seems to be true. Perhaps since the OEM Michelins are designed for low rolling resistance, that includes minimizing sidewall flex and as a result they are harsher? Dunno.
I also involuntarily participated in an emergency braking test. Out near Barrhaven I was behind a Celica which jammed on the brakes when a deer bolted across the road! >whew<
