Oh BOY... I thought I already like the previous MSS a lot, but WOW, what an amazing tyre the Cup-2 is. So glad it went for it!
Psymon have you had a chance to try these in the wet?

Probably not since he's still alive to comment about them.

More cleaner, got all the coolant spray off of everything scrubbing that bitch with biodegradable bike cleaner and a toothbrush-- and clean the underside of the engine of oil funk, as well as interior of engine compartment with airbox out. Filter was horrific! Air intake going back in with lots of coolant rear goodies....looks like the belt and tensioner I ordered are not going to be necessary. All the work was done by spraying the biodegradable cleaner first, allowing it to set, then using my McCulloch steam cleaner on the engine so things didn't get too wet, then air dry.

Ha... yes i have tried it in wet. Actually it had been rainy and wet since they were installed, and they were certainly more slippery than the MPSS. I wasn't sure if it was because the tyres were brand new or just the way they are.

The car? Perhaps. But, just think of all the money you'll save on medical bills due to stress relief!

Installed my new Mesh Grills from ChicagoSpeed996. I have to say I'm pretty happy with the fit and finish. And look no visible "zip ties"! I went thru the little holes that attach the now removed vertical bar.

Thanks Eric, i'm ready for the center when you are.

Surprisingly yes, under each horizontal fin there are two slip-in clips that i just used my fingers to pry open. You know the drill, lay on your back, reading glasses and about 4 lights and a headlamp and "its easy"!
