You know, it weighs so little and has such small contact patches that there's basically no reason not to run the raciest tires you can fit. And then rallycross it.

Re: Alternator abuse stories My worst alternator experience was on my supercharged MR2. Since it was an '80s Toyota, the alternator failed twice in my limited ownership, and I only had the engine out once. So when I had to go back in, what I found was that on the regular 4AGE, the alternator was aft, between the trunk and the intake manifold, and not too hard to reach. But on the 4AGZE, that's where the supercharger goes! So the alternator relocated forward, in between the exhaust manifold and the cabin. No matter which way you turned the fuckin' thing, it wouldn't come out the top, and it wouldn't come out the bottom. Eventually, I discovered that the secret was to remove the electric puller fan from the car's side vent, and pull the alternator out through the vent. gently caress Toyota and their heinous engineering afterthoughts.
