I presume the 848 has gone to a good home...

It has. It will be treated well but I doubt it will be ridden like it's been accustomed to.   Evil

Autocrossed the WRX yesterday and had some fun...prior outings had been a bit disappointing as the car is not easy to drive on the track where understeer and turbo lag are in abundance...

Ordered a new set of skins for the SF last night...

Pretty much, it's down to fine tuning the damping & getting used to the way it turns.  It actually drops in very rapidly, holds the line real good but sometimes I overdo it a bit and have to bring it up some.  That or hit the turn faster but with traffic and all lately that hasn't happened that much. ( hitting it faster that is )  It's different sitting up higher and not having the front compress under braking and turn in.

Thought I had a set of PP 2CTs on the way from Chaparral, but I received an email from them this morning asking for another $70 for shipping so I cancelled.  Every other site will tell you no free shipping as soon as you plug in your zip code...typical Chaparral, for years they've sucked customers in with the lowest advertised prices, but then have the highest shipping and handling charges... boo

I may go with a set of Q3s if I can't find the 2CTs for a decent price, although I hate to change the handling of the bike from what I have now...old dog, new tricks kinda thing.  How are you finding the Q3s?

I haven't run the Q3s, the the Q2s walk all over the PP on both of my bikes.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

I did...I'm not finding free shipping on these anymore... Sad

edit:  they have the front with free shipping, but not the rear...and the company that sells the rear says no shipping at all to Hawaii.

Amazon have the 190/50  with free shipping instead of 190/55.  I don't think the side wall height would affect your turn-in ability, would it?

Have to think about that, seems to me it would drop the ride height in the rear slowing turn in...what say you MD?... Grin
