    FISHING FOR TIRES

    redsled wrote Jonathan, when did they start making these in 335/30/18? Heaven knows I'd be all over them if I could find them :) My two cents is that the Hoosiers RS303 DOT have been a pretty reasonable tire. I corded the fronts on the first set I had due to agressive driving and not...

    How to lower and stiffen the adjustable ACR suspension to get rid of bounce

    Freddy, the car is going to sit higher (1100 lbs to compress the springs one inch vs. 800 lbs), so you have to take the ride height down a bit to compensate. I had a shop do mine and re-align. The shocks don't need to be re-valved, you will just get immedate benefit from not getting the huge...

    Track tires?

    Ron wrote: In other words, the best street/track tire is the Hoosier, un politically correct as it is. :) I should note the hoosiers aren't recommended for the street as they're a bit on the delicate side and may not stand up to foreign objects generally deposited in most of our roadways.

    Track tires?

    Hoosier sells a DOT legal tire that is just a blast. At Thunderhill they were good for about 4 seconds over the stock Pilot Sports on my ACR, probably more with more experience (my first time). They're expensive ($1200) and they don't offer any kind of durability like street tires. Tire Rack...

    Raced a 408 stroked C4 and 468rwhp Z today :)

    Mike, Try turning your hand over and grab the left hemisphere of shifter (little finger up on the top part of the shifter instead of your index finger). Works like magic, especially on the 4-3 downshift.

    Gavin is older today

    Gavin (sheeps of fun) Gear is officially old today. Let me be the first to say happy birthday, but maybe he's already settled in with some warm milk and a blanky for nighty-night. Hey Gav, what's the next mod to the viper? A wheel chair lift? Or do you need to punch-out the interior so you...

    275 Pilots on 12" Purners

    Re: 275 Pilots on 12 Jonathan, dude, what ARE you thinking? :eek: Lets cut some corners, use some old tires I have laying around, save a buck and kill yourself at the same time? Don't tell me this is a combo you want to put on the track? That tire is designed for a 10" rim. Put a 305 on...

    Alignment with 19" wheels

    Re: Alignment with 19 What jcaspar1 wrote, ground clearance is 1/2" (.6" actually) higher using 345 rear tires. I should have qualified my post in saying I had lowered the car from stock heights before I put the 19s on, then lowered it some more after. With larger rubber, there was a problem...

    Alignment with 19" wheels

    Re: Alignment with 19 I had a ride-height problem with mine -- rubbing on bigger bumps and dips -- but that was mostly due to the wider rubber. The problem was pretty easily worked around with raising the ride height a bit through moving the spring perches up (ACR feature). A new alignment is...

    EAT RICE - Rice-to-License-Plate Vanity Ratio

    So you guys need to figure out how to have fun with these guys. They only want to see how fast your snakes are. The other day on the freeway this ricer was charging up and down making a lot of noise and trying to egg me into something. I didn't pay too much attention, but he wouldn't go away...

    Green Flag-Buttonwillow Nov 30-Dec1 Who 's Going?

    Re: Green Flag-Buttonwillow Nov 30-Dec1 Who \'s Going? Luc has a viper, it's a garage queen though. Well, maybe it's not a garage queen, but it sees no track time. We should all be so lucky, huh Luc, to own dedicated track cars. . . Gonna take the strategy discussion off line, email to follow.
