I took the car out to the mountains last night to see how the tires felt after having been stored away for awhile and they definitely still feel on par with what I expect from RE71Rs. These tires in the mountains basically just become a question of how much of a coward you are or aren't, haha. It's an ego bruising amount of grip. What I have found with these I haven't experienced with others is once the RE71Rs are hot, there is still a lot more grip than I would expect over really dirty areas of the road, covered in dirt or leaves. Way more grip than I have experienced in these situations before.
The car is ****ing dialed now with the diff. I have found the dampers at 10 clicks from full stiff with these springs and custom valving is perfect for the roads I drive. Total control of the car on entry, mid corner and exit with small steering inputs and the right foot.

Powerhouse Amuse Euro-S exhaust
Another Amuse Euro-S exhaust was put up for sale on s2ki in the exact spec I prefer, so decided to go ahead and buy. Same exhaust that I already have, but as I have mentioned in this thread it suffered a resonator failure. When I ran it initially it was making contact with the exhaust tunnel which was later fixed. Hoping I can get more use out of this one and am going to make a non-resonated version out of the other one I have.
It looks like they did some better reinforcement around the resonator supports so we'll see how it goes. If it happens again I will provide info back to them and see what can be done to improve it. I love this exhaust so much I will keep trying until it can be made perfect.
It's just so beautiful. :crazyeyes:

How did you fix the exhaust tunnel issue? Did you just rubber mallet the tunnel to make room?

I am wiling to do whatever it takes to make this exhaust work the way I want. I can't help myself. And yeas as I mentioned the exhaust tunnel was "adjusted". Heat gun and mallet or even an air hammer could be used to make quick work of it.
