I may do both! ha ha ha ha ha

 

Sounds good. I'll be at my brothers in May for the first G'man event so i'll go to Grattan and talk to them.

 

heh, hooked already!

 

Tim, let me know, i just ordered a traqmate unit (gps lapping, etc) I plan on using it for most of my events, you might take a look at it, but it's kinda pricey, but the data it gives you is priceless.

Let me know your schedule (not sure when events start up there) , I'll send it up to you, let ya use it for some events in my downtime.

 

OK guys here is a question....

Tires......... what do you reccommend?

 

Heh, that's funny, I've been looking at that for awhile now. I was gonna get that in a few months...Dude I swear you can read my mind or something

 

for a first event? Stockies.

DO NOT go out and buy ra-1s or something else for a first time tire.

Run whatever you have, all-season's are better. If you go out with a ton of grip, you won't learn. When you have a limited amount of grip, you'll appricate what a good tire will do for you.

 

haha, just let me know.... (and you have to send it back :laughing: )

i'll take pics when i get the bar in too

 

First time out...As long as your stock tires have good tread, use them. Get used to a street tire before going r-compound.

 

Yea I'm very interested in how the bar turns out.

 

how many miles do you have on the car?

You really honestly, should bleed the brakes, and check the pads, possibly swap them with a "mild" performance pad, if you're mechanically inclined.

 

Well since I have been deployed I have bought new slotted and dimpled rotors, SS Lines, and 4 new Falken Azenis ST-615's. I am getting new pads so I can have a track set up of pads, rotors and wheels and tires and of course a flush of new fluid. I am thinking of buying a spare set of tires is why I ask.

 

woops

 

thanks for the info guys. I've been wanting to try this for awhlie now. I would like to try road atlanta if you guys have any more info on it. This will be my first time out so I do need a place that isn't to crazy. although robeling does look easier than road atlanta, maybe I'll try both.

 

i forgot you were the guy over there

Make sure you get the wrench to get the lines off (box end with a cut in it) otherwise you'll just round off the brass connections (don't ask).

I run the stock bbs wheels as street wheels and 5zigen's with ra-1's as track wheels. I highly recommend doing the same if you're serious and get into it, if not, run what you have.

Biggest thing, make sure you have a good helmet, and safety gear ( harnesses help, but without a roll bar, you have a risk of serious injury if you roll). Try not to invest too much before you try it, you may honestly say "this isn't for me".

Not everyone is willing to risk their 30k+ car on a track. Hate to say it, but it has to be said, what will you do if you do have an accident and wreck the car? Always have to keep that in mind.
