corsa's an r compund.
azenis is as close to an r compund but is not one. they are the tire of choice for solo2 in the street tire index.
mx's are great for the money but they don't last long either.
i like bridgestone s03's the best. they are still in my mind the best handling tire availible that's not a competiton tire.
hope this helps.

Ray, how was the headstud install? Should I wait to do it with the cams? Is the valve cover gasket good enough to re-use a few times?
headstuds were easy the one at a time method. it just takes time cause you don't wanna rush things. getting the right torque is crucial. it defintely would be easier w/o the cams in there. i'd wait and do it all at the same time. the how to section has a decent right up on the headstuds. just remember 3 of the stock bolts suck to get out but w/o the cams there it should be easier.

the valve cover gasket looks like its made out of rubber. just make sure it's not torn or dry rotted. i put oil on mine b4 i put it back on. kinda like when you change your oil filter.

we didn't use any adhesive. valve springs stay in. special tool you'll need is a tool for the tensioner pulley. not sure what it's called.

anyway sorry i can't have you come and watch. i'll already have a few people there that day and the owner doesn't like people roaming around. sorry.
