We are trying to put together some incar footage we got the other night.
We were doing some pulls on the on ramps and some 4th to 5th gear pulls on long straights. One of the ramps we started in 2nd gear and i rolled on the throttle, we broke all 4 tires loose at 35psi at about 55mph

I think I got a job. YAY.
Going back tomorrow for an orientation type interview. They seemed very interested and were surprised at my certifications and knowledge this morning. I even impressed myself a bit.

With the added air pressure pushing on the fender liner and the negative pressure zone caused by the wheel well, it can cause the fender liner to bend down into the tire and cause rubbing. The passenger side is most common for this, due to the volume of air being allowed through the front bumper for the oil cooler.
I have this problem with any new fender liner when I go to Road America, but soon it just chews away the problem area and it doesn't happen anymore.
But you definitely sound like your tire almost delaminated and caused a horrible wreck. Glad you slowed down and found it.

+1 on that! i read about how they arent functional at all!
Looks "different", its kinda growing on me. I think with the right body lines-which the IS-F has- it doesnt look bad!
I just hope some aftermarket companies come out with TRUELY functional 'stacked' exhausts dor that car!

I must be going through another super hate phase again b/c last week at AMS i saw a Evo X and i thought it was horrific, then this weekend i saw a blue one and wanted to vomit my guts out. How people find that car attractive is beyond me...

Are you on E85 now or what?
I wanted to catch a ride in mike's green this weekend but he is untuned. I would like to compare the feel to my old 20g-9. Are you still on the stock IC?

So I just got back from the pet store and I came to this conclusion. Old people suck. I wish they would all go to a old folks home and stay there.
Slowly tuning as the days go by, still trying to keep the boost stable. Id like to keep the boost around 24-25.
