Mine? I know the wheels and tires cost me 1200 and were used for one autox season. I'd like to get $750, but if thats outrageous, convince me to take less So, it sounds like $750 OBO. I have a trailer to get rid of, but I don't think anyones really interested. I'd take $50 for the trailer (you have to transfer title and get plates), but someone would have to come pick it up as none of my vehicles have hitches anymore.

How do you like the Coil Overs?

Do your best to keep them clean. My JIC's are pretty much toast from last years winter. The salt and road grime beat them up bad.

As for your camber settings.....don't get too agressive for the winter....I would do maybe -1 to -1.5 in the front and -.8 or so in the rear, and 0 toe all around. These are the settings I used and my tires wore perfectly even.

For AutoX try -2.5 to-3 in the front and -1 to -1.5 in the rear with 0 toe front and 1 degree toe out in the rear. This will sharpen turn in like mad.

You might consider stiffining the rear sway a bit to compensate for the stiffer springs on the COs too.
Go to performance alignement. Have Jeremy corner weight your car with you sitting in the drivers seat. Once he is done you will think you are driving a go cart.

THANKS for the snows....these things ROCK ! !

Anyone looking for a great set of slicks for AutoX should snag his. They are in great condition and can easily last another full season. The price is great too.

The trailer he has is perfect for hauling the tires and whatever other junk you need to take to the track. $50 bucks is a STEAL ! !

I like them not to harsh on the roads, still need to drop the front a little bit more. They are powder coated hope that helps them from the salt . I have a Hotchkiss rear sway bar set on the middle setting.

Anyone planning on driving Bluegrass Motosports Park this year? NASA will be there on June 6-7, and 10/10ths is having schools all year long. I'm instructing for 10/10ths, so if someone here wants to do a 10/10ths school, let me know the date and I'll make sure to sign up.

10/10ths website

Not everything, I am planning to go to Bluegrass with 10/10ths on Monday May 11th along with some other friends. Sign up for that one Greg. We are hoping there won't be too many cars. Maybe I can get a few laps in this car on dry pavement, that would be a nice change of pace.

Ya Paul, take a look at their schedule - there are 8 different dates there now including friday's and monday's.

I was looking at the May 11th anyway Nick, if for no other reason than to do a little re-con for the NASA event the following month. Pace car needs to know where the track goes, where to stage during the race, where to hide if necessary, set up restart protocol's etc.

Also have the stock rear swaybar to get rid of. It was removed with 10000 or so miles on the car.
I may have some more odds and ends too.
