Rob - Very Cool man! I read about that event, but, totally forgot. I will definitely get in some auto-x this year. Way to make quick use of your Z purchase!

 

thanks guys. As for tire pressure, I upped the pressure to 40 front, and 35 rear. But I think that gave me to much understeer. So next time I'm going to drop to maybe 37 or so. What do you guys recommend? And as for tires, seeing as this is my first season, I think I'm just gonna go as much as I can before getting a new set (unless I find an awesome deal ) Right now I'm pretty sure my limiting factors is still the driver, not the car.

Aj, can u PM the contact info for ur tint guy. Thanks.

 

Hum... That seems WAY high IMO. Depends on the tires and the size though etc... When I was running my F1's I was doing 32-33 F-R. That seemed to work great! But that was with -1.8 camber in the rear (cant remember the exact front camber / toe since due to corner weighting it to my weight + gas tank 1/4 it was different for each wheel )

With my V710s I ran COMPLETELY different numbers for my stickies... Check on this forum and see what others with those same tires run for their autocross pressure!! It will help a ton!

 

Also most people will agree that its

70% tires / 25% driver / 5% car

I've heard that OVER AND OVER at all autocrosses lol

I remember jumping to SM2 and ppl said I was cheating by using that Z + V710s jokingly... but it was funny! lol

 

Rob that tire pressure was a bit excessive
I know people who run that when dragging, with a little less in the back..

I have to find the receipt when I get home today dude, sorry.
Ok, so what happend to spring, I had to turn my freakin heat back on...son of a ......

Everyone going to the Dick Scott meet this Sat?

 

CGI Motorsports, as many of you know, has their HPDE several times during the summer. A buddy of mine have plans for May 26, and I was curious if other people here would be headed out there on this same day (Memorial Day).

 

Yup. I'm already signed up for that day.

 

If any of you are looking for a good price on a new racing helmet, look ing the vendor group buys. They are selling from 150-250 shipped.

 

Anyone here know where I could get my timing advanced slightly? I've been reading up, seems like +2 degrees is max... can the dealers do something like this? Or does anyone have Cipher or whatever it's called lol

 

H8bumps (Mike M) is your man for that
He has the software, he can do it for you
He is the computer tuning man of the group....

 

Very short notice, but, I was thinking of driving down to Milan tonight for a few 1/4mile runs. They open at 4 til 9. If my lady is up for it, I think I'm going to go. $25, $12 to watch.

I figure since it is cold out it might be less crowded..?

 

Steve, everyone and there brother with either a turbo, or a Big BLock is going to be down there. Cold weahter makes em run awesome
I know a guy up here that has a Hemi dart that left early already

I can't make it bue let us know how you run man

 

Whose all going to Dick Scott Nissan Saturday??

A J, Need directions to get to your work for the x-cell BBQ

 

I plan on going this sat. But it's probably gonna rain so I won't even bother to wash the car lol.

AJ I'll be up in Novi tonight, may stop by your place. I'll call you

 

Is anyone meeting up at OU tonight? I heard it was open again. Mike K said he is prolly going there tonight and I was thinking about it as well.

 

Bah.. Not doing anything car related tonight. I didn't plan the Milan thing out at all, so it's not worth to go for like 2 hours. My car is filthy.. and my wheels are still not done - so no meets. oh well. Hope the rest of you have some fun tonight.

 

anything going on in Southgate Michigan Area anytime soon? I'l visiting family in Browntown Michigan from California soo just curious.

 

So is anybody else going autocrossing this Sunday?
If so I fiugred we could meet up someplace first then drive up to the event.

 

On May 10th there is a big car get together and BBQ close to that area... unfortunately I'm not sure about the details.

 

I havent descided if I am going yet or not. I am waiting to see if it is going to rain or not.


Jeff - The mid range on your car is awsome. Its making me think about the mrev and the spacer. How did you like the sound of the car? See what I mean about the higher RPMs especially in 3rd. Good runs tonight.
