Looks like the racing line may not carry all the way in to a tight apex and the track out looks good (dirt cloud ftw!). I think you're right that there was some external variable (traction/aero/etc...) that through the car off initially, but the next sequence is what did him in... a-fast-hands-over-compensation-with-a-lift-during-counter-steer is a 180 to the outside --- it's essentially an inadvertently induced Scandanavian Flick to the outside.

Too many Evos being acquainted with walls this year

That's a low enough price for some of you guys to consider testing for the benefit of the rest of us.

here is the video review. Looks like a nice alternative for rcomps at a low price.

if i had any skill behind the wheel i would LOL. the evasive guys have been the main ones testing and seem to keep setting records on buttonwillow with their s2000's. don't think theyve had their evo out in a few years tho. i believe they are taking their FRS to PPIH with those tires this year. at that price its barely more than a set of RS3's and beats the NT01's by 200 bucks a set or so, but i doubt it will compete with the TD's....so i certainly hope it works out!

It certainly beats a set of street tires for the price. Of course you sacrifice, no more A&D

I hear that. Almost ready for that P-car, though if I was smarter I'd just get a C6Z.


Also I'd like to update on Project 2.6, it's no longer in effect. So Mark F, it's up to you to finish yours.


Cheers

Good recommendation for decent summer tires on a stock rim Evo X?

What are your intentions with the car? Drag race, autocross, road race, time trial, or cruising down the highway to get to work? Need more info...

Aight fools, need some help. I have a nice new set of wheels I need to fit, and they don't clear my brakes. I have the StopTech ST-40 355mm kit up front. I would like to go down to the 332mm kit, and I'm looking for someone that has the 332 that would like an upgrade. Basically we need to swap rotor/hats, and the caliper mounting braket. Pads and calipers stay on the same car. Let me know if you know anyone with that setup willing to swap!

Love,
Shoe
