I am thinking about coming out to the OH match tour, but it will probably be dependent on whether we have numbers for a class. You coming east for the NJ and DC Pro's?
We plan to go to most the Wilmington events, just not 11 hours for a Match Tour. Wilmington is < 2 hours from us. If you would like to coordinate schedules, contact me and we will work it out. I dont have my co-drivers schedule yet and focused on getting my car drivable at the moment.

Marc, I would beg for a Co-drive at a tour but I'm alittle scared of breaking a diff. I'd be as easy on it as you want me to but given the fact the poster above broke one during corner exit Id be scared. Lol Given that if your cool with letting me Co-drive one PM or text me the date/info and we can make it happen. I think my driving is provened enough to be a worthy Co-driver, if I say so myself. haha

Sorry, off topic I know. Robert- looking forward to these pictures!

The big thing I look for in a co-driver, besides being a proven entity, is someone who is financially stable. It's a BSP car, it can and will break, and stuff that breaks is expensive. Aside from that, tires are now over $1500 a set if you don't win them for a set of 315's. This is just generic, not towards you, Josh.

Yea I understand that completely, Me and Marc live local to eachother and have autoxed together for 3 years now. Him and Dave have taught me everything I know. I'd love a chance at the car though, esp to compare times against him in the same car to accurately assess how far off pace I am to him pro level driving. This last season makes me feel faster then I probably really am, I need a reality check driving with someone that really is good. (IE- Marc)

....didn't realize the "lightweight" hardware was gold now though. Oh well. I don't hate it.

As far as weight....

18x11 +13's are 22.5lb
18x12 +19's are 23.5lb

...according to my likely not so accurate bathroom scale.

This is one reason I didn't go with the CCW 3 piece wheels (other reason strength), but with the 1 piece SP16-R. The owner of CCW (forgot his name) told me materials for the classics have evolved into a heavier wheel. My 18x11s are around 20 lbs. Still, 2.5 lbs isn't that much to me. At least your wheels can be modified...

Keep in mind that weight is not very scientific....it could be a little less. Also, the 1 piece are heavier for my car because of the much lower offset (more center bore material...or so I was told). I think he said they were 21.5-22 for the 11's and about a pound higher for the 12's. Since it was a wash, I went with the cheaper route, and personally I love the classics. They were only $2500 plus shipping in "race" trim.
