Had a last minute chance to make the SCCA at TMS this Sunday. Took 5th out 10. I changed my alignment and swaybars settings. I like the change, just need to get more aggressive.

Sorry, I should have. 115 entries so it seemed like a long day. Felt like I had a good day but Mcshane was still way out there in the STR group. Cars much more stable going to full stiff on the front and rear sway bars. Know I just have to get after it.

I think so. With throttle off into a turn the car rotated but wasent as unstable as before. Power on gave a slight push till I really got into it. I only had 5 runs so stil need some seat time with this setup, but I liked it. should give me a chance to be more aggressive.
Look at my hands at the 14 second mark of the vid. I did a big steer input and the car just tracked the line. Before with the the front sway at 2 out of 3 spot and not really on the gas I would have oversteered

Nah, those are for the stock wheels. Thinking I'm going to leave these wheels up and if the 19's sell before I can snag the tires then I'll run with these until I find something else.
Have to be mindful of garage space with all of this as well so not a whole lot of extra room for extra tires, wheels, etc.

tire lofts haa - lol - you are such an elitist 
its the topspeed pro1 exhaust - i love it, but just recently i think i have a resonator that is kinda clanging a little bit -
yes those are hotchkis sways for the scoobie doo just put the front on a couple of weeks ago along with some kartboy endlinks - gotta do the rear sway and just added to the list, exedy clutch next month
clutch went bye bye on saturday - had to have family trailer it home - glad i wasn't driving it though - everything happens when i'm driving it and the wife is like gdi - you keep breaking my car!
i'm going to try and squeeze another track day out of those tires in december lol

I was actually going to build something because I don't have any shelves in the garage, but realized it was going to cost almost as much as that tire rack. I know someone that has the Tirerack branded one - now that's an elitist.

I just end up stacking them with cloth over the fronts then cardboard b/t each wheel. When I get to the top I put a small piece of wood over them so at least I have a shelf to show for the floor space.

Not my day. Brake caliper bolts 1, Me 0. Wonder if I'll even manage to get the oil filter and plug off tomorrow. Lol.
That's what I get for getting rid of the tools I had a few years back and ending up with barely the basics now.
