Mako is right. That run was pretty ragged compared to my third run which was smooth, yet slower by 0.1s. Go figure.

Re: Lincoln Paddock Spaces

Assuming eastern time didn't work for signing up for Nationals. If west coast people are left out for three hours while east coast people can sign up, it would seem to be unfair but I'm not a computer guy so I don't know how to fix that. Otherwise sign up on a computer that is on eastern time assumi...

John,

If you think the E46 would kill, what do you think the E90 would do?

Re: May FasTrack

Mako,

According to my durometer, my Tundra tires (Michelin LTX) are softer than the 195 Toyo R1R (new).
Same day readings; same technique used.I'm fairly certain my truck tires don't stick better though I can offer no empirical evidence. ;)

Found a "4" black maget number with orange outline

Should have posted several weeks ago. I know I've seen these magnets on someone's car but just can't place it in my mind. Found it on the runway at El Toro several days after the last Cal Club event. If it's yours, contact me.

Re: Tour & ProSolo Street Tires?

Integra Type R Aaahh. The ITR is also DS, so it's straight up whether it's indexed or not. But cars act differently on street tires. I wouldn't jump to that conclusion. The Cooper S used to be in DS with the ITR, then got moved to GS because it was getting beat up. The Cooper S has evolved a little...

Re: Are any locals a Hyundai or Ford sales rep?

Even blindfolded, I could say the venerable Honda Fit is my choice. Shift and clutch feel perfectly mate. Steering feel is easily the best. Surprisingly commodious inside. Revamped Yaris is much improved- worth a look for sure. Looks better inside and out and drives better than its predecessor. In 4...

Diagnostic reader for Mercedes Benz anyone?

Trying to help out my father-in-law 2001 E320 check engine light but realize it's a special round connector. Could buy one but they cost $50 at Autozone and probably won't use it much anyways. Or a good source/repair shop for this car. Any suggestions/recommendations greatly appreciated.

It's a real bummer for those that didn't get in. It's also real tough to do 2 Pros when the second one is over 1000 miles away. Something just ain't right here.

Re: Toyota/Subaru RWD

That's not the greatest angle to judge by. However, perhaps a cylinder and a half may sit at the front imaginary axle centerline and/or forward. And the engine was pushed back compared to the AWD system in the current Subaru models- a significant improvement. Still, it's no front-mid engine design a...
