I'm probably just going to run on my RE-11s. I'm thinking I'll have to run in CSP since I have a catback and oil cooler. Running in stock in Hawaii two years ago was awesome. There was an RX8 running on A6s which made for great competition during the season.

I'm looking forward to get back into autocrossing!

Re-11s are solid for autox, I drive an hour each way to autocross on mine.

Whoops forgot about the change.

Yeah it's been awhile. ASP as in GTRs and Vettes? Anyone have a 2012 classification listing?

ASP for Nismo, BSP for non Nismo

Incorrect. ASP specifically states all 370Z. They are only differentiated in the stock classes.

No vettes in ASP now. SSP was beefed up to include the GTR and ASP mostly resembles old BSP with Porsches (minus current turbos), Evo/Subie, and that GXP.

Now that you have me looking at it again, it's not as bad as I thought. Maybe I'll be up to ASP before the 2013 season. Need that camber on the track!

IMWEZL 02-06-2012 09:35 AM

Eh that's not too bad. I'm competitive but not to the point where I won't enjoy the race and participation.

03threefiftyz 02-06-2012 09:35 AM

All 370's are in ASP as mentioned. ASP is Evo's, STI's, skystices, and franken-boxsters. The 370 wouldn't be separated in street prepared.....that's why we have update/backdate in our rule set.

cossie1600 02-06-2012 10:27 AM

Oh sorry

Square vs. Staggered?
 
Any thoughts about running a bigger staggered setup vs. a square like 285/35/18's on 18x10.5 rims w/ 25mm spacer in rear? (uh oh ...)

takjak2 02-06-2012 01:38 PM

Not lacking for power, the trend is to run as much tire as possible. Shamu, who is the most serious ASP contender we have, was going out to 12" in the rear.

03threefiftyz 02-06-2012 01:45 PM

I'll have 18x12's and 315's on all 4 of my 350 in the very near future, but will only be on 285's (18x10.5's) for the Dixie Tour and DC Pro. I have a set of sticker 285's to burn up.

It a heavy car that needs a lot of tire but it needs it more on the front. Running a staggered set-up can only result in lots of understeer. I think the trick will be fitting 315's square without having to cut/flare the front fenders.

I have decided to stay in Stock Touring category. I currently have stillen front/rear sways so I am going to put the rear stock bar back on and set the front to full soft for now. I have a non-sport touring model with the 18" rims and I need recs for a tire setup:

Option 1: keep stock sizes front/rear ... Seems to be limited in tire choices
Option 2: keep stock rims and upgrade tire size ... Uncharted territory for me as i have little knowledge of offsets, sizes, etc. (anyone have a setup that really worked well?)

Any comments appreciated!
