Ozarks isn’t called the “Missouri-ring” for nothing. I’ve obviously never driven the Nurburgring in personbut it definitely feels like it from the simulator. You don’t really get the feeling of the elevation changes until you drive it in person as the road falls off from under you when you go...
That looks like the self clearancing my S2000 did to its liners. As long as it's not catching the hood/fender I'm happy.
I've pretty much decided to go with 295/35/18s and have my 18x11s sitting in the garage. Just waiting on tires, and free time to finish up this spring install.
My S2000 for...
RIP Heartland Park, it was my local while I was in KC. Now they have Hedge Hollow, but I haven't been able to make it out there yet. If you're in STL area then I might see you around. Gateway is the local but I have friends in KC and Chicago so I've been spending more time tracking with them at...
Be safe at Ozarks. If it's your first time take it real easy, it's an extremely sketchy track. Last time I was out there was in NASA HPDE2 and we have 4 cars crash over the weekend. Almost every corner is some combination of blind, off camber, or down hill and there's almost 0 runoff. I've only...
Yes, I was referring to WWT/Gateway. It looked pretty uninteresting to me at first but I was surprised and actually enjoy it quite a bit. It flows well for a roval and short laps mean you get a lot of repetition for practice. Even in my S2000 the straights don't feel too long and I can carry a...
Lol, the spring perch came off with three good wacks of the mallet after I finally got the knuckle spreader in and took the shock off the car. Couldn't get good leverage on the sweet spot with the shock still on the car because the brake caliper was in the way. Hopefully I didn't bugger the...
I'm waiting for a knuckle spreader tool so I can take the shock out of the knuckle and get better access to the perch. If that doesn't work I'm just going to take it to a shop to have it pressed out. Unfortunately this delay and my work schedule may push back the start of my season. Oh well...
So I went with HKS sleeves as a stop gap measure because I didn't want to go to coilovers so early when I don't have that much seat time yet.
However I'm at my wits end. I can not get the god damn spring perch off of the oem shock for the life of me. I'm hitting it with a 4 lb dead blow and it...
Speak of the devil, that looks like stock height and I'm planning on running 275/40/18 CRS too, at least starting off. How much spacer was needed in these pics? Any rubbing on the setup pictured here?
I'm also finding that Apex is back ordered to hell so I've been looking at T7s as well. I...
I'm just OCD like that. I have my weird fixations. I know the 295s will be shorter overall but at that point I'll be past it.
I'm not necessarily asking about stiffness, though I understand that the eibach is one of the stiffer ones available, more so the adjustability. Karcepts bar has me...
At this point I'm likely going to get the HKS HAS and set it for only a mild drop. The clearance for Nankang CRS in 275/40/18 seems too tight for my liking. Would like to go with the 40 aspect ratio to maintain the speedo. Likely in the future will go for RE71RS once I go to 295s as they're my...
What 10.5 options are there? Apex EC7RS no longer seem to be available in the fitment. I'm aware of TSW Imatra and Kemora but production seems to be very limited or also discontinued? Enkei GTC02 are an option but TBH i'm not a fan of the design.
I'm also a pretty big fan of non stagger in...
Thanks for input. For a strut car how much dynamic camber gain (or loss?) is there on compression that I can factor in for stock height compared to a lowered car? For ex: on the S2000 we naturally gain something like 0.5* camber for each inch of compression. So a stock height car with -2* front...
Hey all, I will hopefully soon be an owner of a new GR Supra. I plan to do some light track duty with the car while keeping it as a fast "GT" ish dual duty vehicle for now. I have a S2000 that I have been tracking up to this point that will eventually be a more dedicated track car once fixed up...
