ECR is quite a bit different. the turns are all very similair though. thats my only complaint. and by similair i mean they are all roughly the same radius. there are no huge sweepers like big bend. but the straights are much higher speed (i'm hitting 5th after revving 4th to 8400 rpm) it does have some interesting elevation changes and some off camber turns to spice it up (i.e. watch people slide off the track )

Don't scare them.

They've done a lot of work in making the off camber bumpiness better.

They are both fun tracks, and you are guaranteed to have a good time, you just gotta give it a try.

I'm sure Kevin can accommodate the safety inspection. Typically the last day to register is the wednesday before.

I'm thinking about getting some Nitto NT-01s for the track to go on my stock rims, how does $137/tire sound?

by this time i'll have my car paid off. I figure I need a set of wheels and tires for the track. Anyone wanna suggest a set of wheels for a lowered VIII series? I'm thinking Enkei!

you need spacers to run rpf1's in the 9.5" size.

i has spacers, i want to get rid of them, i'm sure they are the source of my auto ejecting lug nuts.
Might I need longer lugs?

My fenders rolled? is that really necessary? rolled fenders sounds like something that would look terrible.

I'm sorry about the hernia, i had an cyst i might have told you about, kinda annoying. But what happened to the old, I'll just let the body heal naturally, "oh i think i had cancer and got better anyway" denver i used to know?

i'm getting us way off topic maybe i should stop.

Drew- RPF1s! I have two sets... The 10.5" ones look sick but you have to run a big spacer up front and I think a small one in the rear. As for tires, Nitto NT05 and Kumho XS are relatively cheap and sticky, the Toyos Advans and Bridgestones are sticky but you pay a lot more. The new Hankook RS3 looks promising, but I don't think they've brought many sizes over yet.

How thick are the spacers you have now? Rolling the fenders just flatens the inside lip for extra tire clearance, its not noticeable.
