At the auto-x before and after installing the race wheels/tires:

 

you had to roll your f/r fenders for that wheel/tire/spacer combo right?

 

Man, that sounds nasty. What racing venues?

 

Lots of rolling up front with those big spacers, but since the rear brakes are small, I didn't need spacers and therefore only minimal fender rolling was needed.

 

is tha your dumb a** standing behind the car

 

Yeah, had to take the pic with my back to the sun - it was killer. Had a few spectators there in the first one, too, from work. Was funny - I had 4 people from work come watch, one of which did a ride-along.

 

I'll be doing SCCA Solo II SM and CSCC (local club) Solo II SM. I'll also be doing NASA HPDE's OH/In region, and hopefully TTA or TTS by the end of the year.

 

nice, I will be running same rims and tires in spring as well...

 

also, i like the bbs's better than the new wheels

 

Sick Clay, looks very good with the bright silver wheels. My buddy (whom you got wheel studs from) will have almost the same car, just a IX front . Very clean.

 

Ahhhh, the same path! My first NASA event in March will be my TT license evaluation, then I hope to compete in TTS the very next event...can't wait!

You're getting these for autocrossing or what?

 

Make sure he sees they were put to good use. I finally found 4 sets, got them installed Friday, did the suspension install Saturday, then raced today - took a lot of coordination, hah, but it worked out. I wh000ped some *** today.

 

Yea autox, I am going all out and dropping the whole drag race thing till I build the motor and spray a larger shot...I am gettin those and some coilovers and recently installed a tme instead of the stocker to get a little more spool so its not bogging as much in those hairpins and overall I plan on running the SM class and will see where it takes me...

 

Yah, everyone has different tastes - Lord knows _I_ certainly do! However, I didn't get these rims for looks at all - they were strictly for racing purposes. They are WAY bigger than the BBS's, extremely strong (no spoke flex), and they can hold the tire I want without weighing too much. The BBS's will always be special to me and still remain my daily driving wheels...

 

Excellent, glad to hear that. Just remember you can't run N2O or alky injection in SCCA, so be sure to plan for that. I turn my alky off, put in race gas, and load a separate tune (4 separate custom tuned Dynoflash maps for drag, circuit, auto-x, and street). It worked beautifully today - far better than plugging in my SAFC and retuning it by adding tons of fuel.
