as far as i know yokohama tyres are pretty good, i have only heard good things about them but never used them myself,

love what you've done with the cold air feed, is it sprayed up yet? and do you have any better pics of it?
The rear seat thing, It is rare that I fold them down, but it has to be said that when folded they do remove a bit of weight.

have you removed the spring adjuster threaded bit? it'd look lower if you were running 15's instead of either 13's or 14's as you are.
