Serious? I'm going to sandbag


On my way home to work on the 2.75" exhaust...

 

Crap... for some reason I thought I read somewhere STS cars were allowed in STR. Maybe it was if something was allowed in STS (i.e. cars), it would be allowed in STR. Just supports why I am not a rules Nazi.

Oh well, with your point of LSD not helping, the point is moot.... Then again, if a CRX STS prepped could keep up with the S2000, then maybe not. LOL We will see in Blytheville.

Thanks for the clarification!!

I look forward to meeting you guys at Blytheville my name is Whitt Deming I'm the RE of Mid-South region SCCA the host region and will be there the entire weekend.I will be working the event,I haven't bought a S2000 yet and my current car isn't legal for STR [10" wide rear wheels and 285/35 rear tires], I sold my Hoosiers and autocross wheels in preparation of selling my 350Z NISMO and to buy a S2000.

 

Think loooong and hard about this. If it's allowed, what other cars will be able to take advantage of it? Almost all of them right?

Then, while you're thinking of the other cars... add in boosted cars and their limitations... that adding a piggyback will gain them more than a flash could in some particular models.

IMHO, leave the ECUs as they are (then again, if I had my way there'd be NO ECU tuning at all. Stock ECU. Period. Easy to check to see if anythings been changed/flashed in most instances.

Hey Whitt, the more the merrier. You'll love the S2000, it's a real live sports car. Come say hello. I'll be in the yellow CRX.

 

I am thinking long and hard about prepping my 08 for next year. I need to buy fresh race rubber for the start of the season anyway and I wanted to buy light weight wheels and a set of 17x9 949 Racing wheels will cost basically the same as a set of OZ Allegerita stock legal wheels. Then I can take the difference in tire costs between a set of Dunlops and Hoosiers and get some coilover sleeves for my Konis. Then develop from there. It is a tough call. I know I have been discussing it with Nick on setup and my local AS competition mainly Karl Shultz.

 

Those people must have bought $hit diffs. I went from no LSD to a quaife and started woopin a$$ left and right. The difference is worlds apart. I also think 2 way lsd will be better for auto-x if you can adjust your driving style to it.

 

I've been thinking of it too Keith. Basically trying to decide if I do go down that path, what first: wheels and tires or Koni's and sleeves since I doubt I'd be able to do both within 6 months of each other.

 

Sure you go ahead and tell Chris Shenefield that. I'm sure he'd love to listen to you.

 

I would say buy the Konis and sleeves first. You already have two sets of OE wheels. Take a pair of the rears and get the hub centers bored to fit the front. They won't be the full 9 inch width but they are better than the 6.5 stock fronts. That is my thought on it anyway.
