Seriously, either nobody here makes real power, or my car is broken because I can't put ANY power to the ground. 275/40r17 NT555R and lexus 3.73 i'm ripping apart 5th gear when rolling into boost. I'm on LOW boost, I don't know what else to do... I hate hate hate widebody or flares so i'm kind of annoyed. I can't get any clean hits for my tuner above 20psi. Please give suggestions from real experience only, with THIS chassis only. Much appreciated <3

It's like $200-250 locally for oem GT86 wheels and decent tires. Maybe the same for you... just to keep on the car during cold weather. Thats what I do, I throw on some stockies until its warmer out

Ultimately I want a new set of wheels with really nice rubber and I'll put straight up winter tires on these wheels so I can drive when it's cold, but not snowy. I don't want that road salt bullshit all over my car

Obviously weight is a big factor for traction. I saw a video on The Racing Channel where a guy in a 2JZ S10 pickup, or something small, with like 800-1000hp has three 100lb sand bags in his bed for added traction. Obviously this isn't ideal or something I am suggesting. People always act like driving a fast car fast is easier than driving a slow car fast, but when traction is limited at even partial throttle, it means it takes a lot more skill to transition on power instead of just going flat footed all the time. Things you can do to gain traction besides controlling your right foot better, and things you can do to gain grip, so you can put down more power are the following: --Suspension...any wheel hop, alignment issue or anything like that should be sorted. I don't know what your suspension setup is like or what you have done. --Weight distribution...move some weight to the rear like a remote battery or get the car corner balanced or reduce weight up front or whatever. --Remove slop...I don't know if bushings will make it worse or better, but I have placed bushings on the rear, and it helped. --Remove air from the tires...What psi are you running? --Downforce...Maybe consider a wing and diffuser for traction at speed. --Move somewhere warmer with nicer roads...Just kidding.

All my bushings and suspension is tight. Rear diff has harder bushings, I don't wheel hop at all when it spins its pretty controlled and smooth. Tire pressure is around 26 in the rear 30 in the front. Might drop fronts to 28 and try to soften up the front rebound. I think in general I may need better coilovers, i'm running some cheap tein coils right now.
Might get a 15" wheel for the rear so I can run more sidewall. 40 on the nt555r is pretty stiff.

I got the car ceramic coated last month and now it's in storage. It's a 5 year coating, i'm not too familiar with how that works but I was told by some friends that it's a good idea to preserve the paint.
Here is a walk around video of the day I picked it up, after ceramic coat was complete which was less than 2 weeks ago.
