true, I did. But I wasn't asking about your car, since from what you say it isn't an FSP car and as such, by definition can't be a nat level FSP car. I still...
... I don't think there is a number to be put with it, honestly. I'm sure someone _could_ find a car that has been lightened SP-style which still has stock...

Rather than just o-pine about engine stresses on the open road, here's a bit of data. I'll use vintage data, since so many of us like vintage cars. ; ) Stats...
FWIW, I've observed that New Beetles and some Jetta 4s are clearly lower than control-arm-parallel, right from the factory. Some people (myself included) feel...

oh, mkay, i get it. I'da picked the traditional fake unit of measure in professional philosophical circles, "hedons." Then maybe I'da gotten it. As you note,...

I realize the list is predominantly autox based, of which I participate (today as a matter of fact), however, I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a...
Hoosiers, even my beat up old bias-ply Autocrossers stick like nothing I have EVER driven My Scirocco is faster than I am. Sometimes it takes a ride in the ...
Unfortunately there isn't a Street Mod type class for IT, per se. The only class that will accomodate such an animal is ITE - ITEverything AND the car must be...

Hehe...from what I've heard (still haven't tried them myself), NEW Hoosiers make old ones feel like driving on 350 treadwear Sears all-seasons. :) And then, if...
If you want to order what's worked for me, tell him to look me up, Ron Pieper, in Hamilton Ohio. You might also ask what Elliot Bavely, Cincinnati OH has used...
Good info. Thanks very much. My plans are to compete locally and drive to and from events, no real street driving. I planned to use the Bilsteins because I...
Rad! That's cool. Wait til you try either Goodyear slicks on the front or Hoosier radials - Hoosier slicks (and the biasplys) do NOT turn by comparison. ...

Hey gang, I'm finally parting ways with my old faithful A2 Golf. I'm selling it to a friend who is looking for basic transport, and isn't too keen on the...
I can agree with the statement about slicks. I also copied the Green Rabbit's tire setup, and used to drive on Hoosier Autocrossers. Big difference, better...
