I think the optimal tire diameter for an S14 is somewhere around 25.0", for the Z's front it's around 25.7" and for the Z's rear it's around 26.5". Also the offset on a Z's wheels are 30mm and the S14's is 40mm.

Even if the diameter of the S14's wheels are acceptable for what you want to do for the Z, you would have to run wheel spacers(atleast up front) and the stock lugs won't have enough thread to engagment and remain safe w/ a 10mm spacer.

19's could be over kill for the Z at PR. More rotational mass to overcome (assuming you're running the same or more width), probably a slightly higher unsprung weight and the window where the tire will be at it's limit will be narrower w/ the lower profile tires. Dunno if that would be worthwhile for the better control associated w/ the lower profile.

Lemme look into what it takes to do ducting and then I share the info w/ everyone on how I plan to do it.

 

Great find!!

Thanks!

 

got it from my STI friend - I'm hoping to reveiw it several times before going...

 

Anyone gotten a response back after registering?

 

no response here either

 

Hmm..
I imagine if we show up wavin' 2 couple of Benjies, they're not likely to turn us away...

 

This is pretty much the routine when registering w/ Kathleen for a NWARC event. I'll probably follow up w/ her next week w/ a phone call. I'm not quite sure but I believe they give priority to NWARC members so it may not be until the beginning of July to get firm confirmation.

 

Just got an e-mail from Kathleen, I'm confirmed for July 26th. Did anyone else get a confirmation e-mail?

 

...haven't heard anything yet...

 

I wanna come.

 

Still wondering on suggestions for sway bar settings? I've had them on med/med since I put them on...was thinking of maybe putting the front at full stiff? I have the Hotchkis ones w/3 holes.

 

^ if you wanna go for performance, whatever you run in Evt for autoX will do well at PR. If you wanna play it safe dial in a little more understeer.

 

Anyone else get confirmation yet? I don't want to be the only VQ car there again.

Anyone else planning on signing up that hasn't yet?

 

you won't be...........

 

July 26th? All day? How many cars is Ron limiting it to? Also, how much is he askin? ;P

 

cool. You're registered? Or are you still waiting to hear from Kathleen?

Dunno what the limit is. Isn't it like 40 or so in group C.

 

confirmed....

 

How many slots are left then?

 

^ Dunno, you'd have to ask Kathleen.

 

just got my email confirmation....I'm in! I'll be running group C w/ an instructor since it's my first time @ PR - I can't wait! (I love autoX, but sometimes have that feeling of frustration not being able to really get some higher speeds...)
