CS is the way to go.

You are limited to shocks, hoosiers, and a front sway bar. In stock classes you must run +/- 5mm of the stock wheel offest, and the factory width wheel. Most just buy a spare set of stock wheels (cheapest option) with hoosiers. Aftermarket LSD's are not legal.

Street Prepared is very expensive to be competitive (you would be in BSP). STR is another option, but it can be almost as expensive as Street Prepared. You must run a 140+ street tire for that class, but the rules are relatively open for suspension, etc. All other classes are R-comps. You can't run true slicks until you hit full prepared (the 350 is in FP for prepared).

 

Forgot to post the in-car for last weekend. Sorry the camera was too low....

I usually work Junior Karts.....it's a cushy work assignment.

 

ill be at CDC bowie on the 27th as long as nothing changes

 

I think I may run SCCA Susqeuhanna that weekend.....it's at Hershey Park.

 

HMM

I may just make that drive to experience SCCA and to get to run somewhere new. Let me know details as it gets closer Mike.

Nicole will be outta town that whole weekend so I gots no time constraints or nothing going on

 

Susquehanna is more laid back than D.C. Plus, there are less cars.

 

Hows the course? Tight technical? Or more open and fast?

 

Fast....but technical. My guess is turnout will be low. All the fast guys will be out at Nationals. I might get an FTD .

Your wheels are loaded up and ready to be returned tonight.

 

SWEET!! Im leaving work ~6:45 so anytime after 7:15 is fine.

I think Ill make the drive. Been awhile since ive been to PA too.

 

Wait wait.... what weekend and events are we talking about?

The only thing I have in my calendar is 8/6 CDC and 8/7 SCCA Solo

 

8/27-8/28.

 

Thanks for the advice. This model has the factory LSD for what's it worth, and a nice sway bar up front standard as well. Since it is the 35th anniversary, it came with Brembos and 18 x 8 and 18 x8.5 wheels. I was looking for track wheels as my extra set, but can't find any yet at a good price. I will look at the Hoosiers for them. Thanks and will try to say hello if we see ya at one of the DC SCCA events - my son is in a FJA kart now #13. Thanks again.

 

I remember the number....

You are going to want 285/30's for the factory wheels....big time bulge, but a proven set-up on our cars. The factory LSD (VLSD) is probably the worst of any car on the market. The inside tire will be on fire at all times. Really have to modulate the throttle. I'd take a ride along with Learic (Yellow 370z) see how she does it....

She is almost as fast as the guys in 370's at National events.

 

I'll check on tire size, but think I need to stay stock in size. I noticed you run 18x9 Enkei RPF1's
Falken Azenis RT615 255/40 Rears & 235/40 Fronts

I assume any combo for your class is legal. Wow did you ever modify your car - I can see this could get expensive fast. But, nice set-up.

I did notice the yellow 370Z - she pitted near the karts at one event and I admired her car for sure. She seems like an excellent driver out there as well.

I think my son and I will be at the entry stage for awhile - just want to have some good quality time out there and try not to break the bank.

Thanks again for the tips.

 

HE RUNS HOOSIERS NOW.... WAS 285/30 ALL AROUND BUT NOW IS EVEN BIGGER 305 I THINK

 

I run 285 Hoosiers on a 10.5" wide wheel (slight stretch). The information in the garage feature is outdated. I have custom double adjustable konis, springs, etc on the car as well. Also, car has a real diff. Learic is always the favorite in CS....she is usually only about 1.5s behind me in my BSP car. You guys are welcome to take a ride in my car as well. I will be at the last two D.C. events and a few of the Susquehanna region as well.

 

There is a silver Z 05 running this Sunday. I think is a dual driver because I saw two people with the same car registered for CS.

I think CS is running PM, so I will be running STR on the AM since I do not go for points.

 

I am going to run BSP in the afternoon, but plan to do the fun runs in STR trim. Should give you a decent point of reference...since I rarely run on street tires.

 

in Uprev you can disable ETC (throttle cut) portion of the VDC. All that's left in VDC is the brake blipping which would limit the inside tire wheelspin without cutting throttle...could take getting used to but worth a shot? 'software' based LSD

 

Flashes aren't legal in Stock category. It is nearly impossible to regulate, but it is against the letter of the law.
