sounds like a good deal everyone. you usually only get like 3-4 sessions. the disc with your pics is usually like $60 also.

SE5spd 08-23-2012 09:41 PM

Speed district sounds tempting!

DLo 08-24-2012 08:09 AM

Anyone going to one of the events at WSIR? One is with speed ventures at big willow and the other is with SoCal hpde at SoW, or is everyone waiting to attend events at the end of the month?

martin82 08-24-2012 01:00 PM

I have no tires at the moment......
Looking for 275/35/19 all around hankook rs3 or nt01, nt05... can't find a great deal yet... my tire hook up can only order a ton of sets at once...

SE5spd 08-24-2012 02:14 PM

Stay away from NT05, NT01 are great, so are RA1, R888, etc. or you could just get Hoosier R6, hankook TD, or some other form of race tire :p

Are you going to any of them?

martin82 08-24-2012 02:19 PM

to run r888 or TD etc, they are too slick, need to run a VERY stiff suspension, my springs I have are not enough at the moment to really use those tires. That's why I prefer the RS3, or Nt01, ad08, or similar.... 140 thread wear or 200....

SE5spd 08-24-2012 02:34 PM

NT01 are 100TW - I know people that run Hoosier A6 on stock suspension. But between RS3, NT05 and NT01 I'd choose NT01, it's gonna be the fastest tire without a doubt.

03Z33 08-24-2012 03:53 PM

NT01 do not come in 19" and I agree with Martin that they are too much tire for daily/HPDE fun track car. NT05 and RS3 are the way to go.

$1400 RS3
$1000 NT-01

SE5spd 08-24-2012 04:09 PM

Oh crap I forgot you have 19" wheels. Do they make starspec in 19"?

They do not, only goes up to 18". Z1 Star Spec would be a downgrade from the RS3/NT-05 anyway.

Yes, I am planning on it. Leaning towards Big Willow ATM, but going both CW and CCW on SoW for 80 bucks is tempting too.

I sent you a PM.

martin82 08-24-2012 09:40 PM

I'm pretty much done with SOW for a while, button, big willow, Fontana, chuckwalla for now!!!

I rather save my tires for the bigger and faster tracks........
For me it looks like sep 30@bw, oct 6@Fontana, oct 13@big willow

SE5spd 08-28-2012 09:25 PM

WSIR for $80 still sounds tempting.

martin82 08-28-2012 09:28 PM

SE5spd 08-28-2012 09:29 PM

Yes WSIR SOW, I wanna go but I wanna go to BW on the 16th and I dont have enough tire for both, decisions :(

martin82 08-28-2012 10:55 PM

Easy don't go to SOW!! Sow is my least favorite track!!!!

I don't just go cause it's cheap lol, tires, car maintenance is WAY more than entrance free !!

im doing big track

martin82 08-29-2012 01:51 AM

oh shoot, i'd like to go but can't make it, and no tires...... i need to find another tire hookup, mine needs to order a lot at the same time

threeseventy 08-29-2012 03:06 AM

Watch your temps if it's near 100° Ryan, that pesky, innocuous sounding limp mode kicks in somewhere after the oil gauge goes past 260° (technically 265° but it's a Nissan gauge) and when the engine mgmt drops revs instantly to 3500 and the wheels lock there are several places on Big I would not want to be..

PS SPL front camber kit on the horizon.

SE5spd 08-29-2012 12:22 PM

I want SPL A arms :( there so expensive though.

SE5spd 08-29-2012 06:40 PM

^ I think I'll pass, I want my seat before more suspension. Thanks though, Jeff.
