^ Drew you're too generous for offering. Thanks alot. You should come out to this event. I'd like to see a Z put there w/ the fastest of the S2K's and Lotuses (Lotusi?). Seems as though PGP's track lends itself well to a Z.

No worries 'bout the tires guys, I'll figure something out. It would be nice to see more Z's out there. The fact the Slavik and I could run the times we did incomparison to boosted S2k's, heavily tuned suspensions and/or cars running on R-comps w/ good drivers is interesting considering we're just a couple of cheap mods from being stock. Being more gokart is definately an advantage there, but unlike autoX there are atleast 3 sections where power and torque seems to make a difference, that's more than you would find at any autoX. First350's old Z would have been shockingly fast at PGP.

 

^not to mention, the only s2k's that were faster than us were on dunlop starspec tires, better than noel's and waaaay better than mine...

and yeah, about peter's old car, 295/315 hoosiers would prolly help just a little... lol... and lsd... and JIC coilovers...

 

^^ I was in the same group with a few lotuses and a boxter. My z did great! I was able to close the gap b/w the boxter and the 911 easy! I will be on r comps this time all the way around

 

will be there!!! going to see if i can get the mazda... because my suspension sucks

 

imo, a rwd car will be much more fun than a fwd, even my sister's sti (awd) understeer's without mercy. its a really tight course, imo balance of a rwd car is better...

then again, i couldn't keep up with an ms3 that was there... but he was on hoosier's... and a better driver, and only about a sec or 2 per lap quicker...

 

man that looks like fun...

 

why the ? sign up and switch to !

 

ecsta's MX? if not which ones? willing to sell 2?

 

I will check in the moring they are tucked away in a shed here, they may be, they were on my audi but they were summer tires , I needed winter/rain tires. I woould be willing to sell 2 yes

If they are the MX..

 

^nvm eric, i just realized that 225/40 is to short or a tire...

 

bump

this is coming up on monday

 

who's all going to the afternoon session? i might go watch (if its free) for an hour or so before work...

 

I paid for the afternoon but I'm not going now, I posted up on 6speed that whoever wants can drive on my dime, someone already grabbed it FWIW 350Zimo and warmmilk are going i do believe.

 

zimo wasn't there, i was the only one holding down the z's legacy (or something like that)

just incase anyone's wondering, used, old (but still plenty of thread depth) michelin ps2's suck

 

What type of times were you getting in the clockwise direction? Was 3rd gear a better option in the front straight when running counter clockwise? What was the fast time of the day? Did they mention anything about when the next event will be?

 

i was running 1:20-1:21 clockwise, some people ran a fit faster, some slowed down, some stayed the same. most people didn't like it clockwise, including me. it doens't really flow well. they switched back to counter clockwise for the afternoon.

3rd gear didn't work for me, although if someone can pull it off well it can work. thing just start happening to fast for me and i missjudged the braking point, then i ease off the brakes, then i'm coming in to fast, and it all turns into a whole mess. i only tried it twice though, with enough practice i think it can be worth something if you can get everything sorted out and work out a rhythm...

chris said the next one will prolly be in 3 weeks, maybe 2. he said he'd prolly send out emails tomorrow about the next date.

 

i went and checked it out around 2pm for about 45 minutes before i had to work. i wish i had my gti running, i'd sign up in a heart beat. erik you really missed out yo. lots of nice cars there. highlight of the day: the m3 in a cloud of dust. i lol'd

 

yeah, i saw a g coupe near the gate during one of my sessions, i could have been on my sisters sti at the time though

 

yeah, you were driving it as i was heading out

 

so when's it supposed to be up and running? there is gonna be another one in 2 or 3 weeks
