Hello! Picking up my 06 RA Tomorrow =)
tire pressure depends on how you want the car to act. if you are looking for an every day pressure 32-35. hard driving in hard corners somewhere around 35-40(with a max pressure of 44 and a decently strong sidewall.) hard driving will heat your tires up. In autocross you can go pretty close to your max psi since you won't really run long enough to heat the tires. In actual track speed driving I would set my pressure according to the track and how hot I expected my tires to get. Past a certain point and your tires start to get slippery.
I don't know anything about your rims but if they are weaker rims I would suggest staying a little lower than 35 unless on the track. High tire pressure can cause blowouts if you hit large potholes on the street. The more air pressure you have the less bump the tire can take especially with a short sidewall.

It takes corners quite well - I can't say I've driven a car that handles corners so well before.

It "ties" the rear control arms together, "stiffening" the rear end. Improves understeer. Go for a ride with me and I will demonstrate
Yes you have a front strut tower brace....but there is an aftermarket one for the rear shock towers that mounts in the trunk.
Ok - rear strut tower brace is definitely in the works =)
And sure I will go for a ride with you, drop me a PM with some contact info and we can meet up and chat or whatnot.
I don't notice the sound anymore so I believe it was just me being paranoid.
I know that this forum does not condone street racing but I smoked a jet black Chevy Silverado last night twice with 3 passengers in my RA, man that was fun.
