I just don't really like the kit at the end of the day. It hasn't been worth the trouble and money I poured into it. So off it goes. YMMV. |

What tire setup are you going to run this year? You are probably sick of those SX2’s

I promised myself I wasn't going to ruin this car like I did the BRZ. Stop being a bad influence.
It's a fantastic car, but I don't love it like I did the BRZ. Like, it's better than the BRZ in literally every way (except maybe handling), but I still miss the RWD manual simplicity. |

I ended up buying a set of RE17Rs with a few wet laps on them and ran them for one day at the ridge. They feel a bit squishier than the SX2s, but obviously the grip is super fun. I could also totally tell when they dropped off mid-session as everyone claims. I'll go back to a proper lapping tire after they wear down. |

I am still on the Dunlop Z3 and I am pretty happy with it. They don't wear nearly as well as my Hankooks did but they are much grippier. They don't seem to drop off too hard when they get hot and I can get consistent laps through a whole session. My next step is likely going to be the NT01

Incase no one has heard, looks like they are adding a chicane to the front straight at the Ridge. I don't know if they will run this configuration all the time.

It's on their FB page. I believe it is mostly for the bikes. They did start on the pedestrian bridge.
