boxkita Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 OH...that means you're going to laugh at me some more! No Thank You! Ok, Ill bring snow tires. That should even things up. You can even use the race tires. You have AAA, right? Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gex Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Be sweet to get a bunch of lgts out there! The Miata I bet would be pretty fun as well. Wonder if I should swap the Bridgestones from my Raijins on the rpf1s. Because sorta racecar and the dws tires are just kinda meh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 rpf1's will help with acceleration. Especially if they are 17's. Miata? meh. Rather flog the wagon thru the track. It's much more fun to kick butt in a wagon than a car that pretty much dominates every weekend (not mine personally).

I don't have race tires....I am not that baller! I have crappy Kumho tires on the LGT. I want to wear them out so bad...so an autocross is the best way. No, I have don't AAA either. BTW, I have done autocross with the TDI. It was fun for the most part but the electronic throttle and transmission lag were annoying. I know I can program those out but it's my DD so best not to mess with it for reliability and longevity reasons. I drove the TDI around that course faster than a Mk4 GTI and a friend's 335d. The TDI is all stock with some cosmetic mods. . . I have enough drama for now..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I have a set of kdw2 mounted you can use. with your body roll you'll never notice the high float characteristics of the wide tires on skinny rims.

Gex Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 My rpf1s are 18's but they are still 3.5lbs lighter a wheel then the Raijins and you can tell the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 my 19's are 7 lbs heavier than the rpf1's. The slicks are mounted on 15 lb wheels. :-) Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxkita Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Purchase price + mods, I don't think we've yet spent more than a new sti.. new 2014 sti in ultra-lightweight 5 door model, 6mt, 305 hp, all racer mods, radio deletes, RBP/Black = $39700 + tax, title, license. 2005 OBP LGT Ltd wagon = 33k + tax, title, license. Add conservatively speaking, $30k (new engine, new suspension, new transmission, tuning, incidentals, etc). That's an STi and several years of track wear/tear items.

boxkita Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I don't write the rules.... shaved should be fine, just no cords showing. well that takes the wagon out. I'm never doing an autox on street tires again. the miata has shaved tires and an open exhaust. I didn't see any decibel settings.
