I registered me and my wife a few days ago. This will be her first time doing any sort of performance driving! She probably wont be able to participate regularly though because she has a busy schedule. I'm gonna try to make every event though. I'm gonna miss the one on 25 aug cause I'll be in Australia for 10 days for work.
On a side note, can anyone recommend a good autox tire that is available to pick up locally? I'm still on stock rims. (235/45/17) I've been eyeing the Hankook RS3's but I'm not sure who sells those on the island.

Atticus, as Free Ride indicated, Very limited AutoX tires available on island. Tirerack has the best price and add about $200 for shipping. Check out the tire selection. They have some older RS-3's for real cheap and closing out the Direzza Star Spec I for pretty cheap. I'm ordering a set of Direzza's ZI 265's for my dailies for under $700 before shipping. That's a steal. If you want to go R-comps, you might want to check out Hankooks as well, lowest price R-comps. Do you need a second set of rims? I got some 18x9 Rota's +30 if you want to use for a dedicated track set. Let me know.
Oh, and check out Amazon if you are a prime member, they actually do ship tires with free shipping. I think they have the 245's for about $1g with free shipping. I know a couple of guys that actually received their tires this way so it works. Just limited sizes and has to be through Amazon direct. Good luck.

Oh, and Paco is going back to his Integra. Too bad as he was really fast in his Stock Evo trim.

TNT on Sunday! Look forward to seeing everyone there. If anyone wants to come, post up so we can get you a pit pass (although the awning is the best place to watch from). Hopefully the Mitsu's park next to each other for some pics.

It was great to meet you guys at the test and tune. It was great fun, but I was burnt out by the time my heat came. Not sure what's going on with my car but once I left the stadium it was pulling hard to the right the whole way home. Gotta check out the suspension, hopefully it will be fixed before the next race. Happy racing!

By the way, what size rims/tires are you running? Jerome is looking to change his setup but I don't think he wants to do any major rolling. If you don't mind sharing.
Glad to see all the EVO's. now we have to get a IX to show. Lol.

Nice to meet you too. Damn, that's sucks, I hope it's nothing major. Do you think anything bent or just a bad bushing? Hope you can make the next one. And yes, that was a long day. We don't normally have that long of a day plus heat 1 was freaking long.

My track wheel/tire setup is 17x8 stock rim with 245/40 Kumho V710 and my daily is 18x9.5 27+ with 235/40 AD07 these are wider than the 245s. For daily setup I had to roll the rears and 10mm spacer in the front.
Jerome should buy ur Rotas as a daily and track his stock rims. Then sell those Firestone tires he has on there now.

I figured out what was causing my car to pull to the right, it was the upper mount bearing of my coilover was stuck. I think it was caused by too much rocks being thrown up into it by my sticky tires.

Jerome, I have a "fender finisher" that can do some rolls (you can check it out on Eastwood's website). Let me know. I'm rolling my rears next weekend.

Ah man I just ordered 255's this morning. 265's might have fit with some rolling. Oh well. Anyways, I have a heat gun if you need one when you roll yours.

Nice what tires did u get? Jerome if u do roll the rears take ur time and don't pull. If u force it u will cause a kink in he quarter panel. I learned by mistake, but its minor. Let me know if u have any questions.
