Ricky, I like the roll bar & seat. And the wheels are awesome!
I just finished today installing 4 new EBC slotted rotors along with a new set of carbotech pads...never used them before. I also replaced my OEM springs all 4 corners with a new set of SWIFT Springs Spec R.

Lifted up the heap to figure these problems out

Pretty sure I found my shake, no weights on left rear wheel. f@#k you Costco.
Didn't have the right tool box at home so couldn't pull differential fill plug to check fluid level
Also forgot to check where the axles meet up with the diff

Now it's time to test alternator and maybe swap batteries if it's just my battery dying

A wing? Pics?
My K8Rs wrapped in RE71Rs arrived.
Also will be installing my oil catch can to solve the mosquito fogger effect I have during high speed right hand sweepers.

Just kidding, I'll post more photos when I get them.
Excited to hear your opinion on the 71s, Steve.

Perfect! Just the right wing height... for the trackside bar.
Would be interested to know if you're doing any reinforcement in the trunk. My CR... did not come with a CR trunk nor the correct rubber supports. Pondering buying a new CR trunklid with the proper reinforcements and support stoppers.
All the serious autox'ers "in the know" say the 71s are hands down the real deal cheater tire. We'll see.

It does it's job as a wing both on and off the track, lol. Mine doesn't really need the reinforcement. I think you should just pick up all the pieces you're missing. I put a layer of thick rubber gasket along the trunk just to keep it from moving at speed.
I'm on the fence as to whether I should get the 71s or the Z2SS as my next tire. I don't want RS3s because they heat cycle out, and I still want to be able to drive this thing up to the mountains every so often and not worry about a hard, shitty tire.

Ah, well easy choice on tires then... the RE71s heat cycle out very quickly from what I'm told. In fact I wouldn't plan to use them on the track at all. The ZII* will last far, far longer for track use...
