For the previous post about using street tires at the track, I got my R-compounds for free... spending more money to get street tires just didn't compute. Also, I'm planning to just have fun, and have no aspirations to be the next Ayrton Senna. I'll be happy if the tires cover a few mistakes.

In hindsight, had i gone with street tires, i almost certainly would have reached the tires limits too early, and would have been frustrated. The driver of an NSX had squealy tires, low speeds, and seemed fully disheartened.

Also, Picked up Winziger #2 - a roadster! going to bring both the Fit and MX5 to Laguna on the 6th, and see how they compare.

 

damn r-compounds for free?? lucky!

do u have to pay twice to run two cars?

 

I bought wheels from a friend, and they came with shaved tires with just enough life for a couple trackdays . Not enough tread left to sell off easy. They were free in a manner of speaking.

I bought a pass for my brother and me, and we'll swap halfway.

 

whoop whoop, just signed up for laguna. Requested to be in the same run group as u

sept 6, here we come!

 

I wish I could go with you guys to Laguna... The DC2 isn't ready yet.

 

u still got over a month... just sign up! it will be ur motivation! lmao

 

Brilliant! Hopefully we'll be able to switch out the GoPro to the miata, and get some video of us as well. Not enough fits on YouTube..

 

wth, just got an email/refund saying that transponders arent allowed in the solo class...

 

With the likelihood of a few slow-ish people in solo, and required point-by's, you really couldn't get a full flying lap to achieve a quick time, and racing the clock would increase the probability of illegal/unsafe passes.

If you're interested to know the lap time for Fit in solo traffic, a stopwatch is a proven standby.

 

well when i was at button in june, i was in the solo class they allowed transponders. And as far as traffic, i strategically got onto the track late, after everyone had left so i had plenty of space to do hot laps.

just got the email that if i cancel now, i can get a full refund. I'll see if i'll still be going to this. Im guessing i still will though lol

 

made the decision, im gonna still run in this group w/o a transponder.

wingzer, are u going to the bbq meet? https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/cali...-2010-a-8.html

 

No engine, no suspension, no wheels... Ready in one month? I don't think so...

 

with this, anything is possible

 

I know it's more like mid-July instead of mid-June now lol. Anyway I just test fitted my 225/45R15 NT01 with my kosei K1 15x7 +38mm offset. No rub even when the car is loaded with 4 big adults. Looking forward to try out the setup at Pacific Raceway next Sunday!

 

damn! that is some serious track rubber, too bad im too low to be running 225s lol I already rub with my 205s

 

Yeah IF I ever run coilovers I will have to stick with 205. Anyway I'm just gonna try this setup this Sunday. If I don't like it enough I'm just gonna sell them to other local racers.

 

so how'd the tires do?

 

I will let u guys know more soon! I would gather all the info, lap time, pix & videos etc & make another thread.

Don't wanna keep going OT in this thread....

 

miata almost done... installing rollbar on Sunday, and she's ready.

Fit needs new clutch, possibly mounts in August.

 

sooo excited!! My brakes come in today. Hopefully have them installed/bedded in by next week
