Underdrive could help more. It's up to 7lbs of weight loss even with the non-underdriven kits, and you only step up to STX for legality... your budget is only as insane as you are. But if you're after that last 7lbs you'll likely have a pretty penny into the car.

well, you'll probably be beat by an alien anyway.

I know right.

If ultra and spuds can get chicks, anything can get chicks.

We built our own with training wheels first.

So many other more valuable places on which to focus for mechanical improvements, and that's only if you're already some super pro driver, in which case you wouldn't be AXing a twin in the first place.

Finally got new tires mounted. First curvy onramp I took caught me by surprise - didn't realize how fast I was going until I looked down after merging.

Might just have to sign up for autox again to find where the limits are of these, been about a year and a half. One thing I immediately noticed was steering feel seems lighter than previous tires - I recall people stating the predecessor MPSS had somewhat "squishy sidewalls". Think this holds true here..

(Maybe I'll muster up a full thread review as I did previously to compare these with previous tires)

Lol, one of my professors said pretty much the same thing when he found out I was dating my now fiance... In the middle of a class/lecture/thing. Wasn't even a class I was in. Just saw me walk by and couldn't resist I guess.

You think engineers are strange, just try talking to engineering professors.

Doesn't look so big with my hand next to it. Other than maybe switching to a 1-ball, I think it's done.

Red Nose Day? For hungry kids? What is the possible connection between the two?

You PNW guys are weird.

I've been told many times over the last 20 years that I way over achieved in the wife department.

Strangest profs i remember from college were the physics guys. Didn't have any engineering classes.
