Default Couple of Q's from a novice ITR owner

- Do these cars tend to jerk left or right a lot depending on the road? I know stiff cars usually do this but I just want to know to what degree a stock R does it...

- Forgetting the fact most alarms don't do a lot, what's everyones recommendation on aftermarket alarm systems?

- What kind of tires does everyone recommend for a daily driver that also wants some great grip on the tracks (I realize that to get great grip you sacrifice in life of the tires)

- What's the best tech page out there for ITR's? (any info including stuff like stock specs, spring rates, etc; or detailed engine pics, information, or manuals) if one actually exists..

Thanks!

I can help on some questions:
- Do these cars tend to jerk left or right a lot depending on the road? I know stiff cars usually do this but I just want to know to what degree a stock R does it...
Yes, the car will follow road irregularities. Especially a road that has been worn from trucks and has "gulleys" in the road surface where the wheels travel and a crown in the middle.

- Forgetting the fact most alarms don't do a lot, what's everyones recommendation on aftermarket alarm systems?
Paging alarms are a good idea.

- What kind of tires does everyone recommend for a daily driver that also wants some great grip on the tracks (I realize that to get great grip you sacrifice in life of the tires)
Some people have been raving about Falken Tires (I forget model). I have Kumho's Ectsa 712. Cheap and decent. They are NOT my track tire, even though I did one wet track event on them. My autocross tire is Kumho V700, DOT legal, but not recommended for street use.

- What's the best tech page out there for ITR's? (any info including stuff like stock specs, spring rates, etc; or detailed engine pics, information, or manuals) if one actually exists..
try http://www.itrca.com http://www.vtec.net (there are others, that I don't know about)

Good luck with the car !!!
