i know some of you guys are in to baseball/softball so figured you might be interested in playing. if not, the raffle itself is worth checking out. for $10 bucks a ticket that's pretty damn good, and there are only 1000 tickets being sold, so odds of winning are actually pretty high.

you can get more information about it from the site, or if are interested in purchasing a raffle ticket(s) you can message me and i can get them to you.

it's for a good cause, and an awesome vacation.

 

that's a cool field to play at. short right field for any lefties looking into the homerun derby

 

FP is smart. S M A R T

If you talked to robert he is like super cool and smart. Very nice guy and knows more about **** that I don't know than you will ever know.

 

can you tune a gas car on e98?

 

talked to buschur today set up my install date for the fp red install along with the 880"s and head studs then car will be done for now that is hoping for 400 whp but on buschur dyno could be a little shallow of that

 

^e85 will wake that turbo up damen.

 

Hey Jared nice running meeting ya today in wexford!!

 

I'll be down for the charity softball game.

Also, don't forget the Local Pittsburgh Swap Meet thread in the northeast for sale section. Some good stuff for sale locally.

 

prob should run e85 considering there is a station 2 miles from my work.. hmm

 

well guys the time has come to order new tires (mainly because i have nails in both of my rear tires and the fronts are all chewed up from time trialing).

i am leaning towards these:

Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec
245/40R-17 91W BSW

i'm currently running a 245/45, the sidewalls are way too much for me, so i am thinking the 245/40 series should be just right. has anyone ran these tires in this size before? am i on the right track here with dimensions, or am i doing something totally crackheaded?

 

245/40 is going to be is going to be .7" smaller then stock which I would guess would make the 6 speed gearing even shorter. I would go 255/40 it's the closest to stock diameter but that's me.

 

Your speedo would be a little more than 1mph off. Which isnt bad, and you will have a little less sidewall. And the Star Specs seem to be awesome times. I'd do it.

On a side note, does anyone know where i can get a 3 inch ID 2 bolt flange exhaust gasket locally? I only have 1 vibrant gasket left but i need 2. Ive tried Autozone, Carquest, Pepboys and Advance. Any ideas? Thanks.

 

I have a couple of those I think. Is this it?

 

Justin:

The guy who stopped at the meet with the black accord works for a tire company locally....if you want me to get a price for you, let me know...

 

the 255's would be ideal, but the i land myself in BSP class for autocross and time trials. most of the people in BSP run race rubber, so i would be at a severe disadvantage.

what about these tires?

those are just the regular Dunlop Direzza DZ101, i forget if they are comparable to the Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec or not?
