I can't this time, but I'll co-drive it at a future event if you are interested. I am probably going to leave shortly after my afternoon runs to make it to Baltimore before the WVU game kicks off.

Maybe we can set-up a co-drive at one of the test and tunes coming up. I could probably help you with suspension set-up as well.

We'll swap over my R-comps too.....if you want and see what she can do on those!

The 285's may rub in the front on your car though

Well....I don't know what the clearance issues will be with your willwoods...I have to run a 15mm space (wheels are +35) to clear my stoptechs. My front may actually lower than yours, but no I don't have any fender work. Keep in mind though that my car has almost no body roll.

Barnabas you're suspension setup is perfect! Just get to know your car in a tight controlled environment. Do you have an LSD?

I still use the crap stock lsd. Nismo LSD and hoosiers are probably good for 2.5 seconds on a 45 second course. They'll be in for the scca season opener next year. Probably go to a much heavier spring next season as well.....

Barnabas, the tires will be your major limiting factor....besides the drive .

Why Nismo Mike??? Why not ATI or quaife???


And yes tires will be a huge factor once I get down navigating the course... I have toyo Tr1's on right now 285/245

I dunno what path I will go with tires yet... But I think I may just try to get these to last through next year with paying for the wedding and such and then the year after decide what I wanna do with the car and buy appropriate tires.

On top of those changes....this came today. 1 3/8" solid sway bar.......WAY stiffer than the hotchkis piece I use now.


The Nismo and OS Giken are the best for autox at least in my opinion. The OS is almost 600 bucks more and you still have to buy the stub shafts. The Nismo includes them and is easier to adjust.
