First time with the new spec on the track. You definitely feel 255s on the turn in. Next up is a more aggressive alignment (Still stock). However, I did post pretty good lap times and had fun with a GT2…I also picked up a 350mm Momo Tuner/generic H horn combo that I need to take pictures of.

Thanks man I appreciate it. Guy was a fairly new driver, but he pushed that porsche harder than most do. Everyone watching thought for sure we would run into each other when he spun out. But those Callahan Brakes hold really true hahaha.
Thinking about getting some new seats, would really love Recaro PPs but so much $$$. Unless I find them for a decent price. I want red, so maybe some buddy clubs? Also looking for a NSXR Horn button that isn't a million dollars.
As far as the steering wheel is concerned, I really, really love the feel. And the weight reduction is a plus. Im still trying to sort out the VSA Light and the SRS light remaining on. My MOMO hub didn't come with a resistor and I couldn't really find much info on the forums for 06+. I can't do anything about it through FP either. So Blah for now.
Found an old pic of my car super stock. Red Hs were one of my first upgrades..

Not sure if it's the same for 06+ but I know for the earlier models, if the SRS light came on there was a certain way to reset it, even once you put the resistor on
