Why is it the BSP cars run a staggered wheel/tire setup, when the STR cars seem to trend more towards square? Seems the suspension tuning isn't that far away from one another... Can you be successful on a square setup in BSP?

Ok cool, I'm trying to gauge how much success I'll have running a Rcomp tire on my current wheel setup... I do not think I'll be going to any wider of a wheel (currently 9"), and I'm really more interested in being more competitive locally, maybe regionally... Nationally I'm really just not ready to commit my car to a fully competitive BSP car, but you never know. After reading this forum it seems like I would have to invest heavily into autocross, and I think it might take the joy out of it for me.

Could always just run STR, much less investment. No r comps of course but the cars are still really fast and fun.

I run a testpipe, and an AP1 flywheel in an AP2... The test pipe changes out easy enough, but I'm not dropping my tranny a third time if I can help it. I might be able to find a hi-flow cat and, re-tune and, run locally in STR, but if I'm wining regularly someone eventually might complain. That and, I really want to know how fast I could be on Rcomps.

Word.

R-comps rock. Looking back, I probably should have never wasted my time with STR. BSP seems like a nice stepping stone to SSM... and I guess STR is a nice stepping stone to BSP. It would be nice to see some S2000s in SSM.

-carry on

Working on it... lots of reliability issues to sort out and weight mods. My car snaps axles like crazy. I'm only down to 2750lbs too. May end up a better track car
