Damn how did U gain 55whp, 40wtq with just tune? Everyone here in SoCal got about 8-12whp max and a tad bit of peak wtq...

Can't wait to try it out on a track. I also got Hankook RS3s for the Evo. I would HIGHLY recommend this tire. Affordable performance at its pinnacle! The R888s are very noisy, akin to a plane flying above the roof of the car
I love your choice in rims, they look so amazing on your car! Were the inner spokes color matched with the USB or did they come like that? Your car is looking flawless btw

thank you
haha, I've been asked the cost of painting the inner spokes a few times already. The blue on the inner spokes is actually just a hallmark design of Weds. They do that with a lot of their wheels.

I had to attend a university graduation...my own actually! You guys must have had a hell of a time. I will not be missing the next event for sure.

Maybe we'll all have superchargers next time around

OK, that's an acceptable excuse Congratulations!

I did have a blast.. I like that circuit so much, I'm thinking about doing the 7/10 HOD event too!

Gotcha. From the pictures, the blue on your wheels looks very well matched with your F's USB that I had to have thought it was custom done. I got fooled there haha keep up the great work on your F!
