Do you drive in the rain: Part II SoCal Edition

Holy crap, the rain is relentless here. And which weekend did I decide to get a tune? This weekend of course.

It's definitely doable, it's the other cars that scare me.

The roads get flooded out here in rosarito so there's no way the i8 goes out in these conditions.

Not because the rain is that bad )being from Seattle) but moderate rains flood all major highways in this part of Mexico (all the main roads that lead to San Diego too!) so mandatory days off

A little bit...traffic was heavy of course. Butt dyno feels good...had more grunt throughout the entire band. I get the wheels on Thursday, hoping that will improve it even further (grip and weight wise).

I'll report some numbers then (or sooner if I get the itch).
