Again, my photography skills are limited... here are a few more. I will try to get some better ones today.

The last pic...looks like the turbo is missing.

And why'd you take a picture of that Prius's wheels?

Prius tires:p

Looks good

They are JDM Prius "performance package (haha)" tires, but they can also be found on a handful of sports sedans. They are honestly pretty decent tires for everyday driving, BUT I doubt they will be great for autocross. I'm certain I'll replace them with Hankook RS3 or Dunlops when they're done.

I'm still in the break-in period, but I opened it up a little today (still shifting at 4k rpm though) and it feels sooooo much faster than my 318i automatic. I'm really surprised how many thumbs up I've gotten while driving around: it definitely turns heads. The shifter seems to have loosened up a bit. I'm not having as difficult of a time shifting into 3rd anymore, but the clutch is very light.

[joke about walking being faster than a 318i auto]

I saw the comparo test in Road and Track today, those Prius tires made 0.92G on the skidpad.

:eek:

Just saw one on the road today!

They look super sharp in person.
