Got my fronts put on today. So even a 10mm difference in tire hasn't helped with the rubbing issue. Possibly made it worse since I have a 35 sidewall rather than a prior 30.

So I rolled (beat with a mallet) my fenders today and definitely fixed it.

There should be a road course day coming up soon so I am aching to get on the track!

Checked all bushings, driveshaft joints, rotors and calipers... then my front tire just went. Checked the backside and looks like my toe was off enough to tear up the inner sidewall and puncture enough of it to rip it.

Needless to say it was time for new tires. So I ordered a fresh set of Potenza RE11. Went with 265 up front instead of 275 due to availability and probably going to help more since I was having rubbing issues. I hate Michelin for having 305 and 295 on backorder so it's time to try a new set of tires. First time running these so I am fairly excited. Heard great things about them.

This sets me aside from getting some more performance being done. The bill was $1300 for these tires! They should all be here monday

As a joke I also put my last set of replacement Tredwear letters on the spare haha. Causes quite a commotion on the streets

Okay so busy day getting the Z1 power steering cooler and Race front control arms on! Tomorrow I go in for an alignment.

Don't look at that crappy line routing I am quite sick with flu and I didn't really care afterwards.

Here you go Carlos plenty of pics

So now only piece of the puzzle missing are some Whiteline Swaybars and the VLSD, which I have but pending install to some other time. I might cancel out on my January track plans but the local track always has stuff going on so it's no big miss.

So that's pretty much everything now and I am set for any track day. Everything will just be normal fade and wear. Hopefully my base brakes hold on for me for longer. I don't have money for a BBK! :O
