Default Autox Incar: Jun 17th - OVR SCCA: First hit of R-comp tires... :)
Hey guys, here is my incar from today. I ran my STU prepped car in BSP due to Aaron (loworbitsi) allowing me to use his 275 v710's... to try em out for some test purposes...... Anyway, it was fun - however I can already feel the withdraw, street tires will never feel the same

Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QnmEziqryE

Retard me forgot to put the passanger seat down (was using it the past 3 runs with ride alongs).

Oh, and you might hear a lot of noise... the rear seat was out (to make tire transporting easier). You might hear noises of the right rear rubbing on the fender... My car doesnt rub with my 245/40 neovas on the 17x9's but 275/40's on the 17x9's does rub... ugh

-Andrew

so you like your first hit off the crack pipe do ya? I'll give you another 4 months before you step up into BSP, odds are you would be fast there as well.

going from street tires to slicks is nuts.... and once you take a hit, its hard to go back.

you know you want to do it now. Used slicks are EASY to find... or just barrow them

What rim were you running those tires on etc?
Also what height on the suspension?
I have almost the same suspension setup and am trying to work out if I can run this big a tire for autox.

Looks like a nice run but I can't crank the volume up here at work...

^ 17x9 fn01r-c (43 offset)... i rubbed some but no doubt raising the rear from 13.5 to 14.0 would do it... possibly giving the rear some more camber would help... im at -1.0 and -1.5 ish could be good too.

It was tough for me going into STU this year after two years in A-stock on 275 V710's. I want to wait until I'm totally prepped in STU before making the jump to BSP. STU just has such a sweet PAX. Good driving, have fun.
