    Glad to see you finally solved the vibration issue. As for the wheel nut coming loose, there is a chance that the driveline vibrations might have caused the wheel hub nut to work itself loose. After all those vibrations, might be best to torque check every nut and bolt.

    I'm only at 230whp with my setup and try to do things the right way/build with quality, and my miata still sits on jackstands or in the garage more often than I want. I really hope you have worked through the bugs at this point because I can sympathize with how frustrating it is to chase problem after problem. That's hard enough as it is, but every project you do on the car takes that much longer because you document it here (appreciated!) but, that adds hours to even the simplest jobs.

    Also I just put on a set of Nitto NT01s on my supra and I have to say the grip is phenomenal. I do not track it but even street driving and not getting the tires really warm they hook amazingly. The stock brakes actually can't lock them up unless your practically pushing the pedal through the firewall. I dunno if they make them in your size but they are a crazy good 100TW tire and apparently the longest lasting of the 100TW

I'd love to see what blackstone recommends as far as oil change intervals, grades, etc for someone running high boost like your setup. So happy you're finally getting to enjoy the fruits of all your hard work.

    Hey Greggg just a heads up about balancing. I have 6ULs and found that they must be mounted to the balancer using the lug nut holes, instead of centering it on a "hub" behind the wheel, as shown in the video. This is because the wheels center themselves using the lug nuts rather than the hub. If your wheels are the same way, you might get better balancing results by mounting them to the machine differently.

      i daily drive those on a ND miata, and it was the worst tire I have driven on my car.
      wet tramac is horrible, as you said.
      if possible, try the avon ZZS for road use (or ZZR for trackdays)
      upto 77°F (25°C) this tire is perfect (feeling, grip and wear)
      unfortunately, it is now forbidden for road use in Europe (to much roll resistance), so I have to switch to yokohama A52R.
      hope these will be as good as the avon
