  • R's Tuning's Ricky Kwan meets Tokyo Auto's Allen Curry. Streets of Willow.
  • Allen spends the morning hours learning the line, before Aaron Bitterman of Speed-Ventures takes the wheel for our tests.
  • Beautiful day up here in the High Desert.
  • Prepping Kwan's FRS for Bitterman to drive. Look for accompanying video from GT Channel.
  • The KW Variant 3 coil-over suspension.
  • Before and After pics of the Work Emotion.
  • This is me balancing the Nitto NT-05 Tires shortly after mounting them.
  • Allen swapping out tires.
  • Not only are the Nitto NT-05s a full 2 inches wider than the stock tires, but are also made of a much sticker 200 treadwear compared the the 260 treadwear stock Turanzas. Tread-blocks also speak to the amount of surface area or the lack thereof.
  • Tire Pressure is important. Even more so in a track setting. To the initiated normal tire pressure of 34 psi might be ideal for every day driving, but with varying temperatures on track, sometimes having tire pressures as low as 20 psi might be beneficial. The trade-off being lower tire pressure = more grip.
  • Always torque your wheels.
  • Putting the Work Emotion wheels back on.
  • So Aaron what do expect this next run will do?
  • Speed Venture's Bitterman doing his thing.
  • WinmaX W4s going in. Did I mention it's hot.
  • WinmaX W4 pads are a mild to medium track pad. Street driving is not advised for the faint of heart as they require heat build-up to stop effectively. They are also noisy for regular street driving.
  • Front installation of the WinmaX W4 brake pads.
  • Wheels (Work Emotion CR Kai) on for the last time. Oh man it's hot.
  • Last Run. So Aaron what do you think this last outing/upgrade will do for your lap time?
  • Robert Fuller was also there. This thing is stripped, gutted, and caged. The engine has "everything short of forced induction" done to it.
