Wrong tires for drag racing anyway. The R888r need to be above 180F to grip and they typically take a lap or two on track to heat up. They need a lot of camber since the casing is designed for it. Drag racing street tires tend to like 0 camber or positive camber, and they have far more longitudinal traction.

If you do want to stick some street drag radials on it, I have a pair of 17x9 wheels you're welcome to have . Lug bolts and all. Just come get them out of my attic

Yep I'm pretty sure it is. Last I saw they were asking 19k for it. Whoever gets it will get quite a few good parts along with it. I do miss that car, honestly. The its is fine, but it doesn't quite feel as special. It's funny, I've considered going and buying it back.

And today we say goodbye to the Braille. She lasted a bit over 5 years. Noticed it was hard to start this winter.

Not good, Bob.

Didn't drive it this past week due to nasty snow and bitter cold (got an AWD SUV for that) and it was dead dead. Put it on the trickle overnight and it was still dead. So back to a regular old battery. Forgot how heavy they are.

Also, have been noticing a lot of choo choo blowoff when off throttle after high boost. More than before. Figured it might be the original DV getting stuck or slowing so replaced it while I was doing the battery. No difference. Not sure what's up.

Did you always leave the battery cables attached to your Braille when sitting in your garage? The reason I ask is becuase I have a Braille and at first, the charge was always draining to where I eventually was sent a new one from customer service along with an updated charger for it and they told me to remove the negative cable from it when sitting in my garage because something was drawing power from it.
