It's a lot of fun. I do recommend some beefier rubber up front first though.

Going to get some beefier all seasons up front soon

Probably going with 245's up front and 265/275 in the rear later. Need to accumulate some money with my next few checks before I get tires. Steve told me my alignment might be out of spec, so I might need to get that done too. If I get wider tires in the rear later, will I need to get another alignment done then? I was thinking about getting it done when I get front tires, but if I need to get it aligned again after the rears I will just wait.

You shouldn't need an alignment after just changing tires.

Also, make sure to hit me up when you get an alignment. My friend will take care of it for a lot less than a shop charges, and custom tailor it to how you drive.

Cool, I will probably do it after I get the tires and I'll let you know. So you should probably tell him what I need because I will be asking you anyway

Also had some issues fitting in the car with a helmet on. I wasn't able to get anything that even came close to comfortable. How do you tall guys guys drive with a helmet?

Good thing I'm short. You always can buy some seats with a low mount or go even lower with a custom setup that's mounted to the floor. Plus being lower helps with driver input and overall feel of the car as I'm told.

Yeah, I'm trying to avoid having to do that. I like my stock seats, and I daily drive my car when I'm in Alabama.

I literally am up on the headliner without the helmet on though

Not the internship, I'm working at my uncle's gas station. I've been working here on Sundays for like 2 years. Watching the British Grand Prix on tv right now.

SSR type-F's en route. Really wishing I could get star specs in the right sizes...
