Default 580, something like that...now I can race like a soccer mom, instead of a grannie...

opened it up over 3k last nite... still kept it under 4

its being sluggish as all hell, random spikes of boost, maybe I'm just wary about pushing the go pedal...

I seriosuly wonder if my car just blows...

Default Hehe, it's tough dealing with all those issues you've had. I'm sure...

I would have been gun-shy afterwards. After driving conservatively, the ECU adapts. Perform another adaptation when you're ready to push it and I think it will drive better.

Default Yup. S-03s are great tires but very heavy...

I have the "weight-gainers" package with my 235 S-03s and Sportecs. The T-28 helps me forget the weight. The celebrations are very light factory wheels so you're definitely taking a hit.

Default :( D'oh! there was no rubber on my P6000's either... so that helped lower resistance!

I have yet to drive in the rain, but I was in the monsoon on tuesday with the baldies, hydroplaned all the way up 287 to parsnippity..

Default The S-03s in the rain are amazing...

along with the awesome dry handling, I remembered why I got them. You'll get used to the weight and when you go back to the 17s for winter you'll feel extra quick. ;-)
