Do you guys typically run street tires in SM or Hoosiers?

Whatevs C!! I would like to get used to it, but can't say it will be easy lol.

We all run street tires in SM. We all decided we didn't want (can't afford) to spend $3k a season on tires alone. So it keeps the competition even amongst us.

Understood! I was contemplating having a set of slicks and street tires like I did last year and it was expensive. I just bought 1 nice set of street tires and called it good

I'm pretty stoked to get out to the next autocross up there in Birmingham. I'm just starting to prep the car for that weekend. Should be a ton of fun meeting some more Evo people from down here.

AWESOME time at autox this weekend. Slow times but I sure as hell had a lot of fun! Nice meeting you C and Heath!

The code my engine threw after run 5 was P0171 "system too lean" (I had more than half tank of gas at time) I deleted it and it hasn't come back yet and I've driven it pretty hard. Next thing on my list is hooking up my wideband gauge

Good to meet you to man, glad you came!

The p0171 is typically bad MAF scaling from a poor tune 99.9% of the time. Laziness. Be careful with that, you could run a little extra lean just once and boom. Matt may be able to look at it for you and help you out. He has tuned all of our cars with no issues *knock on wood*

Nice to meet you too! and glad you enjoyed it. Sorry about the code I normally carry the code reader with me but it was in the WRX at home. Hope you come out on the 30th and become a regular!. C

Anything that's not R-comp. We normally run Star Specs or RS3's.

No problem about the scanner C. I actually figured out my scanner gauge on my way to Gulf Shores (not wise... i know).

I've got my wideband O2 sensor screwed in and routed as far as the center console (which I'm hoping was the hardest part). It's a wideband "controller" and it's used so it's got a bunch of extra **** on it. I don't even know what a wideband controller even does (just got the gauge as a package deal with the A-pillar pod)
