I like the wheels, but aren't the tires a tad too small for the rims?

yes...they came on the wheels like that - been busy with the body so I've yet to turn my attention to them as they will most likely be replaced by Kenisis or HREs later. But the tires are only 265s and can easily handle 285s, going with Michilen PS2s here soon.

Awesome, there was a guy at Thundehill Raceway here in Cali. and he had his exhaust exit right behind the front driver side wheel. Looked really clean, and man it screamed

Reno- Thanks man.

Alright guys, the first run is punching it hard with a gentle let off the clutch, the swinging back and forth is due to some serious wheelspin...and yes i didn't let off the throttle... just a few quick 1st gear runs (this was before I removed the muffler).
951 RS Test Run

ENJOY!

Thanks for posting the video, www.youtube.com works well for this as well.

Is your BOV vented to atmosphere? On the second run you can hear a "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..." when you lift at the end of the run. If it's not vented to atmosphere then you may have a bad BOV/recirculating valve. Just FYI.
