Ashish, I will be there and I no longer own a S2000 anymore and I'm still a poor grad student. Come on, you know you want to take another hit. Just drive within your limits and you should be ok...

Mmmmm... track good!

 

I can't resist.



1.5 years later, So how was the learning process?

 

Tough to resist, eh?

 

I haven't said it yet

 

[QUOTE=cthree,May 1 2003, 02:14 PM]The only thing you are going to learn on unshaven RA1s is to not do it again.

 

I tried to say the same thing over and over, and for some reason it was never able to sink into your head... The learning process was great, thanks! If I had to do it all over again, I would do the same thing because I learn more from actual experience than I do by reading, this has always been the case in my life. If I can get my hands on it and can experience it, I learn and understand way more than if I try to grasp the concepts through reading, be it a forum or a textbook. In the process of driving on those full-tread RA-1s I learned a lot about my suspension set up as I kept making minor changes to verify the squirm was indeed tread block related.

If you are looking for me to say you are right, no problem, you were right about the tires being better performers if bought shaved. But in addition I have to say, had I just followed your suggestion I would have robbed myself from some great experiences, and because of that, your point of view was 100% wrong for my life.

 

Traveling the road most traveled and on unshaved RA-1s no less. Well if in hindsight you don't wish you had followed our advice then you spent you money and time wisely. You probably voted for Bush too

You don't need to admit to being wrong for you to still be wrong

 

JUST SAY NO TO UNSHAVEN --- TIRES!!!!
