I am running Ohlin's too, what did you get DFW's? You are more than welcome to test fit my 285's under your car, but I can tell you the front fender needs to be pulled/flared/rolled out. The rear is a little more involved, the inside lip on your rear wheel well will need to be folded in (small hammer gently tap it in and go slow holding your hand on outside of metal) and then it will need to be rolled. A baseball bat and jack really works fine if you have the touch.

I let you know when I am going to align it and you guys can come over. I plan on buying a heater for my garage, it is friqqin cold in there.

On another note I left my Braile hooked up since the last event, the battery won't take a charge now bye bye $150 or $200 whatever it costs to replace. I have a spare Deka for now, but that one is 5 lbs. heavier than the Braile, another thing to buy now!
I figured you had to do alot of fender work to fit those 285s. I was thinking 255s Hoosiers on the stock BBS are still better than 255 on 9.5 inch wide wheels, don't you? I'd like to stay on street tires for another season or two.

Event #3 - Sunday, March 14th - Delaware Park

All really great lots too! Needless to say, the coilovers may go on early...too bad I already sold the RPF1s! Who's going to join me?
Who did you sell your wheels to?

Don't know that I can make it to any but Delaware Park. Gotta get this house done, and autoxing on snows sucks as I found out last year.

BTW for any beer people.

Nugget Nectar will be available in 12oz bottles in the next week or two, and Bell's Hopslam is coming as well!

Nice. I had a really good Port Brewing IPA at the D-Room on saturday. Don't remember exactly which one though.

Delaware Park is an awesome course, and spectacular for viewing runs. I still have access to 'my' BBS, so I will be using them!

The winter autox schedule has been FINALIZED as of this morning. It will be a great venue to meet some of the new folks that have been posting on here as of late, as well as see some well know members that have been hibernating. It's always like an Evo meet at these events.

I am not sure but stock BBS are 8" I think, which would not work. To be honest, you should either go for the 285's on 18" rims (9.5 or 10" wide) or bag it, I do not think 255's will be worth your $ in the long run. Everyone who Autox's an Evo when I travel is on Hoosier 285's, EVERYONE. It is the sweet spot tire size for Evo, but it will take some massaging to get them to work. It really isn't to bad, you just have to decide if you want to cannibalize your rear fenders.

All Evo's running Prepared or SM should be on 285's if they want to be competitive, if not you will be off the times by alot, it is just a fact. BTW, I had 275 - 17" Victoracer's when I started and quickly realized they were the wrong size wheel and tire for Autox. One other thing, with the tires you will need an aggressive alignment to take advantage of the R compounds.

I used to haul my tires and tools in the Evo, removing the rear seat makes for an easy tire load in back seat area without screwing up the car. So you can keep your street tires and have race tires too, that how I would do it................

Mike, I never got back to your about the Spoolinup COP. It was never the problem, as I found out. My car had a loose EGR line which threw everything off. The COP is back on the car and running .30 gap with no problems. There's someone selling a set for $275 in the for-sale section. PM me when you do your alignment!

I went with Sparktech COP, did not want to chance used coils, so I bit the bullet.

I will PM you and Chino when I am going to do alignment a few days prior to doing it.

Yeah, I was one of the lucky few who was able to get his last few kits with new coils. I didn't want to chance the use coils either!
