hot_wire Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Just got myself signed up. I believe that I saw Mr. Autox on the list too. For the rest of you, registration ends on the 24th, so sign up now! I need some competition in G Stock! I encourage everyone to come out and join in. I'm a total novice and having a great time. Loaner helmets are available. Riding along is free! See you all there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeye Bullitt Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 I am celebrating heavily on the 26th (defending my PhD on the 23rd), but if I think I can make it out of bed, I am going to try to make it.

Dr. Apex Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 I just moved into STS2, so I just lost all chance of doing well lol I know the feeling the past 2 years running a street tired car in SM then last year running a mild FSP car in EP, though I did manage to win EP(more so on luck and making every event).

craig71188 Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Well, only the third points event - but I'm finally in - as long as I get out of TX on time Friday!!! We'll get to see if: 1) I got everything right on the car's winter rebuild 2) See if any of the changes helped it go faster 3) My old fat ass can shake off the cobwebs and drive Hope it's dry - see you there!!

Sounded good at the shop when you were working on it. We can only hope everything is in order. You did a complete rebuild, didn't you?

craig71188 Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Not really - car came down to bare frame to check for cracks/problems and get cleaned. New stiffer springs in front and new springs in rear. All that was done to the motor was to pull the pan to check the bearings and the usual reset of points/valves/etc. It was just due for a thorough going over after 2+ autocross seasons and a few races at Waterford Hills (previous owner). I did find a few issues that were corrected - and some suspension adjustments were made. It will take a few events to get the sway bar and shock settings up to snuff - but I'll be interested to see if we pick up any ground against the PAX index. See you Sunday!

I'm looking forward to the same as well, now that we have new tires that will be consistent we can start dialing in the suspension and I can't wait to see how we do against the vette and in pax!! Though they are saying a "slight" chance of a late day thunderstorm right now, were still too far out to see what it will really be like on sunday.

Guest 78novaman Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 I've actually got a day free since the first event was canceled due to snow. I'm going to show up and check it out. No racing for me, I have to be at the airport by 3pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 You getting some Azenis?? If only I could find them in 205/60-14...I have no idea how to choose tires other than the oem size while keeping the stock rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AutoFreak57 Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html use that. find the closest thing with a stock height Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Apex Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Typically you can go up to an additional 10 to 20mm in width and go to a slightly smaller aspect ratio to keep the tire diameter about the same. Though I don't know off hand what sizes the Azenis are offered in but I'm sure they have 14" sizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AutoFreak57 Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 the 615's come in a 195/xx-15 its a 20in tire, stock miata size i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
