Who's ready for AutoX season??

I ran my car is B stock last month... Pretty much just showed up and drove to get a baseline feel for how the car acts on track. Somehow had two 400+hp EVO Xs in my class so I came in third out of three.

Running again next weekend... New rotors, pads and lines, also got a set of K&N short ram intakes. I'm on 245/285 Bridgestone S04s which were surprisingly not crappy at the first event although I'm guessing that as I get faster I'll probably end up getting a dedicated set of track wheels/tires.

Does anyone here run 18s for track wheels with sport package brakes?? I'm thinking thats the direction I want to go for the cheap/light factor.

A few posts above you are 2 guys running 18" f14's, definably can be done and will save some money on tires.
I'd look into the rule book on scca's website, I don't think the short ram intakes are legal in stock class. Not sure if you're wanting to run Bsp or BS just thought I'd let you know

Probably because with your mods you are in ASP, which is where 400hp evos run...

I run Enkei PF01 18x9.5" +35 18x10.5" +15 rims with Toyo R888 275/40r18 square right now. I have Nitto NT01 275/40 front 305/35 rear I want to use this season. This fits over the sport brakes without spacers as well. Loved the R888 for HPDE and autocross. My region runs on a long airstrip with runs that last up to 80-90 seconds and sometimes get into 3rd gear for a majority of the run, so the R888 do have a time to heat up. Semi-slicks like that aren't always the best choice for autocross at smaller events. Also, like someone had already said, those Evos sound like the ASP cars I run with (ugh they're not easy to beat). Maybe should have someone re-evaluate which class you're in.
