auto-x last weekend!
1st time out in the yaris, 1st time out with the blitz!
all i can say is SPECTACULAR! although i need to get my hands on some kuhmo XS's my proxy 4's held there own for a 1st time out. managed to get some good times in out of the 5 runs, the circuit was superb! it really had everything in it and got pretty fast at some points as it was held on a oval. the damn ranking isn't out yet since they had issues with the timmer in the AM so i cant say how i did as far as the whole lot yet... here's some pics |

very nice! screw MX's get, RS3's!!!
tirerack has 225 45 15's for around $130 apiece, and if you buy the old RS2's they're only $99 each!

Are those ATS Cup wheels on a yaris? looks good. I was thinking about the Ronal Turbos for awhile but couldn't get over the huge branding on them.

indeed they are cups, when i saw the bolt patern was 100x4 like the rabbit.. figured why not :) pretty pleased with the look myself, thanks ! the turbos could rock or some Schmidt Revolution Modern Line would be quite the site i think Quote:
it's Designed for SCCA racing. why not the R comp, well i rather only have the one set of tires/rims.. |

ok, so it's the replacement for the MX then, because that's what it was aiming for. i'd wager the Hankook RS3 will outperform the XS

i LOVED my star specs... they held up really well and had tons of grip. they are pretty cheap too...

they dont have em in 15's though :(
i think 16's are too big ... actually they do 195/55R15 it's the 55 side wall i didn't like, and only 195, it's an odd size for track tire in 15's |

i did run as a co-driver last weekend and the guy had the star specs, i have to agree, the grip was pretty insane. then i saw the odd size though.. i'd feel better with a 205/50/15 for some reason..
how's the 55 side wall on em? they dont feel looser in the turn in ? Last edited by s3r3nity; 05-19-2009 at 10:21 PM. |
