Really? i still struggle for traction more often than i thought i would with the stickier compound. These tires are awesome in the rain compared to the stockers. I'm also running 215's on stock wheels for my super sports but a good flick should do the trick.

Come to an autocross and I bet you can make them slide. If you can't then you're not trying hard enough.

TPMS issues with Ecutek?

Anyone have issues with new TPMS in new rims? I just posted up a thread in the wheel section. Long story short, Discount Tire is blaming my tune for the reason they can't get the TPMS to synch with the ECU.

I had Pep Boys mount the stock tires on a set of new rims for me. They swapped the TPMS sensors over to the new rims but the indicator light came on when we started it up. They had me come back so some other guy could try and he couldn't get it either so they told me to take it to the dealer who told me that pep boys crushed it in the install. I had to order the part and wait a week to go back out and have it installed. it was a pain in the ass so everyone tell your tire installer to be careful with those sensors - the tire mounting machines like to crush them...

Where would you guys recommend to do the 3rd gear run through for data logging?
I tried freeway on-ramps but cars kept getting in the way. Any deserted roads you know of?

So I was driving in the right lane of IH-10 and some truck in the middle lane dropped something that came smashing into my car. I was able to pop in the front and rear bumper but the fender liner and the underside fascia are totally destroyed. Any ideas on where to get replacement parts or get this repaired?

Awe man I'm sorry to hear that. It's always worse when you're no at fault. I live downtown and have used AA Autobody and Dales down here. Both are really ood but Dales is more expensive.
Good luck with it
