do not recall anyone on zIIs there, results looks like there wasn't, BFG, Kooks, and one on Bridgestones... I remember your car pushing bad, though the trunk cam was 1000% awesome.

 

Yeah, the car was handling like **** then. It only really worked well at the beginning of the season and at the end when I just hit reset on everything I had tried throughout the season to fix it.

The trunk cam was great. I love that view angle. It was especially convenient to have an "at speed" video of what the Day 2 course looked like after downloading the video from the camera on Day 1 and playing it back backwards. :P

that was the coolest part... seeing day 2 before walking/running it. plus seeing a cone fly out of the air and land inside a box was neat.

 

If I get the blessing (tm) to go to Wilmington, that could work.

I am not doing Jersey - DC is the week beforehand and in family-land doing two 3 day events on back to back weekends is one of those "I'm not even going to ask" things.

I haven't figured out how to do it either. I control-click the "quote" buttons to open them in new tabs, and then cut/paste the contents of the textarea into the first tab. One of these days I will figure out the multiquote thing.

 

Click the button to the right of the red quote button, the one which has the end parentheses and the plus sign, and keep clicking that same button on all the posts you want to quote and, finally, click the red quote button to bring up the "Reply to Thread" text box.

Clicking just the red quote button will include that post in the group (even if you haven't clicked the multi-quote button), making it the last post you quote, it won't override or negate the other posts you've multi-quoted. This is terribly explained but will hopefully make sense in practice.

 

Except that all the turns will be an early apex with fast in, slow out. Lol

 

I am just trying to size up the competition for Jersey. I was half kidding about Wilmington, but we can revisit later. It looks like I may not be doing Pros this year for lack of a ride, so my ability to travel frivilously to a Tour increses.

Not with how badly my car was pushing at that event...

Hey! It works. Thanks. I knew you could "add" the quotes to the list, but never figured out how to initiate the reply with the list of quotes.

HA! If I could run unlimited width I'd try it
I thought about doing a crowdfunding site to help pay for building to SM, funny to see how many people would pay lol.

 

^ Don't do it!!!

 

ain't that the truth. $M is no joke, especially when godzilla is already at 6 figures worth of development.

ASP ain't bad though.

 

And counting--I just talked to him the other day & more $$ have been consumed (burp)... lol

I got out of the SM Godzilla business, as my car was, um... sparsely prepped compared to the Winged Godzilla Wonder. Either that or a divorce lol

 

Geoff, if you go ASP you will want a IX RS... trade?

 

You guys might be a great audience for question on tire pressures and street tires - 275/35/18 RS3s on stock rims in particular. Just got my set and waiting for tor the first event, but I have no clue where to start with the tire pressures!

When I run 285 Hoosiers last year, good tire pressures were around 40 psi for the front and low 30s for the rear. Now with street tires, I am thinking to start at 40/36 front/rear. If you have any recommendation on this, I would like to hear it.

Thanks!

I expect that's going to be a tough combination to make work well.

You're pinching the RS3s really badly on the 8.5" wheels (iirc).

Street tires in general, and RS3s in particular do not like to be pinched like Hoosiers. You need to have really stiff sidewalls for that to work.

As an example, the optimal wheel width (from a lot of testing) for a 225/45-15 RS3 is 15x9... You're trying to stuff 50mm more tread on 0.5" less wheel.

The point being that you will probably be trading off between putting enough pressure in the tire to minimize roll-over and having so much pressure that you're only rolling on the middle of the tread.

Is this what you would call "pinched really badly"?
