Re: C6 C7 Corvette CAM-S Rotary Forged Wheels 19x10.5 19x11

Hi Tom,

The 19x10.5 +63 will probably not fit at the front on my base C7. (From what I’ve read +51 offset probably would fit but that’s not what you have).
Today you also mentioned you have 18 wheels for the front. Those are 9.5 wide? What offset are they?

Thanks,

Mihail

January 13 and 14 photos and videos

Here is mine from Sunday:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVwqVCa3NMc
It is my first time ever autocrossing the C7 Corvette after driving a Honda S2000 for 4 seasons. Prior to that I autocrossed a BMW 135i, before that a Corolla XRS and before that a BMW 328is.

Re: Pics/Vids from 4/22 & 4/23 Event

There have been no videos and no published results from this autocross that I started to think that maybe I've lost my sanity and such an event never took place! It was a relief to find this thread. :)
Here is my best run of 72.336 s:

Re: The March Events Are Now Open For Registration

What happens if you register and pay online and then, for some unforeseen reason, cannot attend the event? Does the registration fee get forfeited? This was not an issue before since I could register online but pay $30 at the site. Now there is a significant price difference ($30 if you register and...

Re: The March Events Are Now Open For Registration

I just noticed that, after so many years, the registration fees and rules changed starting from this March event. Unless I am missing something, it is now $30 if you register and pay online at least a week earlier, $40 if you pay online within a week from the event and $45 if you pay at the event. I...

Re: Misfire codes (Honda S2000)

Unless you are doing the full engine rebuild because you want to go through the whole thing and freshen it all up &/or to bump up performance there is reason for a rebuild ESPECIALLY with only 6x,ooo miles on a Honda that's been even remotely reasonably well maintained. that goes for pretty muc...

Re: Misfire codes (Honda S2000)

Julian and I did the leakdown test yesterday and the results don't look good for cylinder #1:

Cylinder 1: 64%
Cylinder 2: 3%
Cylinder 3: 1%
Cylinder 4: 3%

The cylinder 1 leakage is through the exhaust valve. Can you guys recommend a good S2000 mechanic, especially one experienced in engine rebuilds?

Re: Misfire codes (Honda S2000)

There is a strong clue what might be causing the misfire code. I did a compression test and here is what I found: Cylinder 1: 165 psi Cylinder 2: 238 psi Cylinder 3: 240 psi Cylinder 4: 242 psi The compression of cylinder #1 is substantially lower than that of the rest. Incidentally, this is the cyl...

Re: Misfire codes (Honda S2000)

Hello Mihail, Did you happen to have a clutch done recently? The knock sensor is a common failure during a clutch job as it is easily broken off. Coil packs are also a common failure (slow failure). I would recommend buying new coils regardless. Hi Jon, As a matter of fact, I had the clutch replace...

Misfire codes (Honda S2000)

My 2005 Honda S2000 with about 65K miles started getting misfire codes for cylinder 1 (most often), but also sometimes for cylinders 2 and 4. I also get code P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire). The interesting thing is that the misfire codes and check engine light don't come on during regular ...

New Bridgestone RE71R tires produced a miracle. This was my best autocross performance in years! Finished 1st in B Street and 26th out of 182 drivers in PAX.

Taking a passenger on official runs

I am expecting two friends to join me for this Sunday's autocross. They may spectate or maybe one (or both) of them will co-drive my car. Is it allowed to take a person as a passenger on one of my official runs? I know this topic was discussed a lot previously but I don't know what the final outcome...

Re: Shifting an automatic transmission into neutral

I do however give the throttle a blip to closer match the revs when it re-engages. I tried it with mixed results. Maybe there is less of a shock when re-engaging, though 70 mph for me is close to 2000 rpm so there isn't that much of an rpm difference from idle anyway. Sometimes however, if I am sti...

Re: Shifting an automatic transmission into neutral

Benifit can depend on the technology of the transmission as well. Some of my cars would drop to near idle under costing 'in gear', some would keep the revs going but use nearly no fuel. I was shocked when my minivan actually downshifted and induced significant engine braking. I thought that was nea...

Re: Shifting an automatic transmission into neutral

It may not be good for some automatic transmissions? I think I remember reading an owners manual about not towing above a certain speed or distance w/drive wheels on the ground?

Re: Shifting an automatic transmission into neutral

I do it all the time in my truck on long grades if I can maintain freeway speeds by coasting and have never experienced anything negative by going back and forth. The shock to the transmission is negligible. A much greater shock occurs when down shifting on steeper grades to maintain downhill speed...

Re: Shifting an automatic transmission into neutral

Aside than the mechanical sympathy aspect of sticking the car back in D at a relatively high speed, I was always taught you should never coast in N (manual or automatic) in case you need to accelerate in a hurry for an emergency. Now, an emergency where you need to accelerate is hard to think of, b...

Shifting an automatic transmission into neutral

My wife and I recently bought a 2014 Mazda 6. At her request, the car is automatic, and for me it is the first automatic car I have owned. So bear with me if the question below is too stupid.

What class should the 2015 Camaro Z28 run in? Furthermore, as it comes stock with Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R tires with a treadwear of 60, is it legal for the street tire classes?
