Online: www.tirerack.com, www.frisbyracetire.com, www.americastire.com, and if you specifically want Falkens check www.vulcantire.com

Shops: America' Tire Co. and I think there's Big O Tire near you.

I actually have a good friend that works at Big-0 Tires. He should be able to get me stuff at cost. I will talk to him and see if they carry Yoko ES-100 tires. I think those are what I'm going to go with.

Run a search for ebay resistor or ebay chip. It's nothing more than a 60 cent resistor from radio shack, sometimes in a pretty black box. It works a little, adding a little more fuel overall, but it doesn't alter fuel timing like a piggyback does. I would estimate the ebay chip gives you 2 or 3 hp honestly, while the Piggyback has been dynoed to give 10 or more, depending on mods.

The interesting thing is that the RRm piggyback costs 10 X more then teh ebay one. guess it depends on how much you want that extra horse ( I sure do.) I'm planning on getting one next month.

Another question: where's a good place to get good rims for a good price?

Yeah, $20 on ebay for a 7- cent resistor and you have to cut and splice things in your MAS voiding your warranty just to get a couple horsepower, or getting a box with a highly researched and tuned computer program that hooks up to your actual ECU are like night and day. If you want to void your warranty for 2 horsepower, go to radio shack and get a resistor and splice it to your MAS. If you want performance, talk to the real tuners.

Oh yeah, and there's a group buy on Rota rims right now. Great, lightweight rims (I race on them right now) for a great price. Checkout the group buy thread:
