He's not joking, I just called Tire Shoppe and they gladly spilled the beans. :!: This tire race is killing me, part of the reason I got into the class was decreased expense compared to STX. I keep saying " this is the last mod and it'll be fully prepped " but then something else comes up...

By the way I'm done with my exhaust! I towed the car to the exhaust place on Saturday morning and then towed it back to "the Hobby Shop". The exhaust is super short but it has a long and very quiet resonator. The resonator was 6 lbs and the rest of the exhaust is just 3" piping and a...

Dang...those 91s are heavy!

then there should be no reason why you 89's can't win everytime next year }:)

Phil is a good friend of mine. That is a very nice car. He made some epic setup mistakes that have since been corrected. He really takes care of and preps his stuff. Probably the best looking STS2 car in the country. Motor is relatively old, but I know it makes competitive power. Can definitely win...

I'm currently running on 615's and I'm troubled on choosing my next tire as it is very well ending near. I have been advised to not get a very good set of autocross tires as a beginner because it is not a good idea as it will hide many of my mistakes. 2009 will be my first season and I will have tw...

Over the last 5 months ive been dragging the damn brake all over the place so my "yeohda" has had me move the foot off for the last 3-4 races to exaggerate the motion and pair it with a physical feeling of touching the side of the clutch pedal. He has got me to where I am today, so I ask ...

Im leaning towards the Dunlops price, good. sizes, good. people seem to like them. They do good with heat, dont they? The Star Specs are one of the best heat tolerant ST tires, worked at the 100 deg Wendover Pro w/no spraying. They also pretty reasonable $ wise. I recommend shaving the Z1s for even...

The Toyos suffer from the same issue that the TS-1s did, the sidewall is soft. Andy Hollis ran them on the back and the Bridgestones on the front at the Pro. He didn't like them on the front. It's a sticky tire, and if it's as good as the previous version in the rain it might be good for a set of r...
