Got another set of hoosiers in the mail today......I want to race....enough sitting around.

 

jealous...

Everything I ordered is backordered

 

^When do you hope to get back and out to an autocross?

 

^ March time frame would be ideal. Not sure how much longer parts will take. I am also waiting on the snap on truck to make a visit

 

March 26 is the annual SCCA test day at Fedex. There is also a BMW school on March 5. I would assume that there will be a CDC event in March as well....there usually is.

 

Just talked to frank today. Tuner frank is goign to write a AutoX map on my car to help it perform its best when just staying in 2nd

Still figuring out my finance's/tire situation.

 

What exactly are you wanting with an autox tune?

 

Frank the tuner said that if I am going to be doing allot of AutoX he wanted to write a tune for it

Going to make it safer and more efficient for staying in that small RPM range I assume?? He said he was going to throw a little more fuel in and make it handle the heat better.

Frank Hill was just relaying this to me since he had talked to frank smith since I need a touch up tune. When he mentioned AutoX frank said he wanted to make me a map better suited for that style. Ill get all the details when I go in to do it.

 

If he wants to do a freebie for NA on my car....I'll allow it . I'll be there on the 25th for most of the day.

 

did he tune your car originally?? he does free touchups.

Ill mention it though no promises lol

I start my new job on the 21st, as soon as I find out my exact schedule ill let you know but hopfully I can come up on the 25th.

 

My car was one of the early Uprev tuned cars....Function did it like 2 or more years ago.

 

def time for an update then!!

 

What wheels are you going to replace your Volks with?

 

In talks with Scott300 about one of his many sets lol

if I need to buy new or if I can find used I really like the NTO3+m Enkei's

 

I've bought things from Scott before he's a good dude.

 

just need to see if he has what I want

 

I know he just sold a few sets. What sizes were you wanting?

 

10 front 10.5 rear or 10.5 all around.

 

You plan to pull on the front fenders a bit? I think all he has in 10.5 is +15.....with a 285 that will be a bit of squeeze. Though I would behoove you to get a more aggressive alignment, which will create some more space. I can tell you what my alignment was on street tires if you want to try it out.

 

If I need to pull the front I dont care at all back is already pulled.

I woudl like your numbers you ran with your star specs if you dont mind soo I have a starting point. then if you are ever bored and have a day to kill you can drive my car and we can play with suspension settings

I plan to have the front sway switched out to full on hard. and still trying to decide how hard rear needs to be (opinions??) they are hotchkis

Also not sure if i should lower the car more or not since the new tires will be slightly shorter.

then after alignment and sway settings its playing with the dampening.
