I don't really have any complaints with these tires on track. Like I said I didn't get much time on them and I don't have any time on other tires on track to compare them to yet so it'd be tough to say. The car performed fantastic on them though I felt it rotated decently
Small world!
Set of four purchased in March last year as a track dedicated set. Was only able to make it out to two events, and the second was rained out after one session. So these tires essentially have one track day on them. Only thing you’ll notice is one tire has OPR (other people’s rubber) which will...
Curious if anyone in here has a lap at Lime Rock Park they'd like to share? I'd be interested to see what some of you fast guys' laps looks like. Not sure it's really worth sharing as this was only my second track day, first at this track, and hit traffic on the straight. Best I could do is a...
Looks like you found the previous post
I wish I never put them on my car
I'm on Eibach pro kit springs with the strut pins pulled. sitting at about -2 up front and rears are about the same.
Had the chance to borrow my buddy's set of wheels off his ITS. Pleasantly surprised with the wheel and tire combo on the FL5. Wheels are Gruppe A08R in 18x9.5 +38 and tires are Conti Extreme Contact Sport 02 in 275/35
I was most surprised by how good this color combo and especially the polished...
Anyone running CE28N+ 18x9.5 I found that the center cap size outer diameter is about 65mm and the inner diameter about 63mm to clip in. These fit perfect and I’m very happy with how they look. So much cleaner looking. Nothing worse than nice wheels with rusty brake rotors in the middle
4pcs...
I just have the downpipe blanket elbow it’s not the full downpipe blanket since it’s still the stock dp.
If you do a turbo blanket you have to remove the heat shield which covers just the top portion of the dp to so that’s why I grabbed just the elbow blanket. But I hear the full dp blanket...
After weeks of trial, error and measuring I finally found some center caps that fit CE28N+. So for anyone running them here's a link. Yes they are from amazon but they fit perfect, look good and most importantly cover the rusty brake/hub from water and heat from track. Much cleaner look now, Im...
I should clarify, I totally agree @MooMoo
People shouldn’t be on track without any in car instruction at speed. That was another reason I was glad I didn’t enter novice for this event. Not sure why they allow that, seems pretty dangerous to allow multiple people who have never been instructed...
I’m hooked.
I’m eyeing up that TNIA August 7th date at Lime Rock. I like that it was only $260 for Track Night In America events, compared to $560 for an instructed day or $400 not instructed with SCDA. Felt like good value paying less than half and getting one less session. Which I’m fine...
I just did Track Night In America at Lime Rock in the intermediate class and it was a mixed experience. I only have 1 season of autocross, and 1 instructed day at NJMP under my belt thus far so I was pretty apprehensive to do intermediate. But I figured, I felt pretty good with point by's...
Anyone going to TNIA Lime Rock this Thursday 7/3? Would be nice to meet up with someone who has been there before. I'm running Intermediate Class for the first time since Novice was booked. I know this isn't the novice thread, just looking to see if any experienced guys are going
You'll only get about -2 degree of camber at most which is fine for street driving. negatives would be that you will feel some more tramlining from the car and maybe a tiny more tire wear. And don't forget to get an alignment.
Went to change the engine oil and found the underside of the car looking like this! Had a slight panic attack. Turned out to be transmission oil leaking from the axle seal. I checked for weeks after the springs install and saw no leak, but I guess I did nick the seal. Pretty common, so make sure...
+45 are flush at stock height and look great. If you lower it id consider a 275 tire depending on which you go with to fill out the wheel arch. +38 offset at stock height looks terrible, so if you go +38 you'll want to lower it, with pro kit id go with 275s depending on the tire and your...
Track setup:
Enkei TS-5 18x9.5 +45
Falken Azenis RT615K 265/35/18
Eibach Pro Kit Springs
Drove 250 miles on the RT615s they are loud at first but not bad. Fine for street if you have an exhaust it'll drown out the road noise anyway. But this Offset/tire/ride height combo leaves decent wheel gap...
