I’m the same, I have to get a new set soon, but I figured I’m already happy with the Super Sports and they’re cheaper. Are the PS4S tyres much better?

Looks like your car well pissed off! Spat out its dummy...

Fixed the #3 misfire at WOT. Coil packs were 9 years old with 65K miles on them, I guess they had a good life. Didn't jack the engine and the Edelbrock cooling hoses made it difficult to deal with #1 coil pack bolt.

I'm thinking of going that exact route in the future as well, would love an update on how it compares if you get a chance!

BRZ-150 filled with pop-up tent, tires, toolbox, helmet, and spares for track duty this weekend. Wet sessions nearly all day, lots of spins, glad to keep it on track all day.

I hadn't appreciated that Honda sold the Tye R with twin lights outside of Europe.

Yes, RCE Yellow Springs/OEM Struts to Tein Flex Z. Haven't had much of an opportunity to drive it but the little I did, it really didn't feel all that much different. I made no adjustments to the Tein's other than making sure they were all set to 8 clicks from 0. When I get my summers back on and get a proper alignment, I'll get to "play" around with it.

Finally installed new clutch today. Went with the X clutch 9.5 inch. First thing I noticed it the peddle is lighter than the ACT street clutch that has 100 ft lb less holding force. This one is a little more grabby but a lot smother than the ACT was at break in.

Since this thread is slow.

I drove my car home from work today. On the 2nd tank of gas after the clutch. Once it is empty will refill with E85 and hammer on the clutch to see if it is better than the ACT that I had before.

I decided to go out to the garage, reinstall my 4.3 diff, and start setting up my new coilover only to find out my RLCA's don't work with them. RacerX has a brace in their RLCA that other brands don't have and the Annex coilovers have a large lower mount that you use to set travel that don't play nice together
