Be afraid. Be very afraid... Hehe. Just got the RT-615's in 235/40/17. Should be a good base to learn on. I still haven't put them on the car yet. That'll be tomorrow I hope.

I got the same tires...they are awesome. at least a second better in AutoX.
they last a long time too, I've done over 10K miles on mine daily driven and they still grip like fcku.
Looking forward to seeing my new numbers Kev

Haha. I am looking forward to seeing your numbers, too.
Tomorrow, I'll be putting on the new tires. Going to see how that'll go.

Alrighty. A little update for you.
Saturday, I spent some time putting the new tires on. They actually fit. Yay.
Sunday, I went auto-x'ing at Golden Gate Field. A lot of new peeps were out there, which was good. Great to see a lot of Subaru participation. I did pretty well. Still learning how to drive. The car seems to be set-up pretty well. Tires were okay this weekend. The course had a ton of gravel on it. There was like no grip. I clocked in at 40.0xx +1, 40.2xx +1, and 39.7xx. Not too bad.
Gagan, who ran my car for Fun Runs, gave me some tips for tweaking the car. So, I'll be doing a few adjustments in the next few weeks. He clocked in at 39.3xx, 39.0xx +1, and 41.xxx. The last run was interesting. Haha. I am sure he'll be more than happy to tell you about that.
Other than that, good times. New magnets, new tires, new steering rack bushing. Looking forward to Round 5 and Divisionals this month.
Here is a picture that Mark Mervich took.

Just did a height adjustment at Karlton's (xtremevolk) place. Thanks Karlton for helping me do that. So the front is about half an inch higher now. Hopefully no more rubbing.
I am really looking forward to divisionals.That's going to be fun. I'll take pics of the car later.

Hehe. GST-Greg and I already talked about this. $150k and no life for a year, and it can happen. The no life for a year, I can do. It isn't like I have one right now. The $150k part... that's a different story.
