Last weekend I went out to Chuckwalla with some friends for the first time and this is the first time with the Nitto NT01 tires, Forgestar CF5V's, 9FF Aero and GT2 wing. I have to say that the new aero seemed to have the car planted and this is my first time with the new tires and I did some decent times. My last session I ended up doing a 2:13 which my friends say is good for my first time on this track. Here is a video and some photos of the current setup.
I forgot to mention the tires are 235/35/19 325/30/19 Nitto NT01's on Forgestar CF5v's 19x9 19x12. I will post up some weights when I take them off tomorrow but I have to say I have owned Hankook RS3's and Continental Contiforce Contacts and I have to say these Nitto tires after they are heat cycled are amazing on the track and I felt so much more confident in the tires as the day went on. My starting Psi was roughly 32 front and 31 rear and after my first session they spiked up to 34/35 psi and I aired back down to 31 and kept it there the entire track day.
It was a good day especially for Boost the temps were low and the track was clean for the most part. Whenever I go I only see 1 or 2 other turbos out there its usually GT3's so it would be good to see more Turbo's out. When you get brakes let me know I might come along.

I also have NT-01's and the hook is crazy even on the streets in 1st with over 700tq. I am still getting use to them, as I find the steering got "numb" and the back of the car is alarmingly "squermish" compared to my 2yr old (but 6yr date stamped) Sport Cup. I drive around on the streets with F: 33psi R: 34psi cold and have tried many different psi's. I was told by another forums member that they have to "wear" off something to do with the moulding from the factory etc. I have about 600miles on them and they have gotten ALOT less ,"rear end wants to come aroundish", the more miles I put on.
Awesome video and it looks like the perfect track-- high speed-- for a turbo! As stated before your car sounds amazing and it is my favorite color combination. I could not find a Blk over blb/terracotta with a manual when I was looking about three years ago.
