Street tires with bad alignment, or R-comps with bad alignment?

oooo sweet, I might make the trip out there, even though I have yet to receive my exhaust.
Chance to try out the new coilovers

lame, I could only get -2* out of the fronts... that's not nearly as much as I hoped.

That would be cool if you could make it Renzo. I'll give you a run for your money too.
Now, Did you put that on an alignment rack mike? My **** is wack, I'll probably use a tape measure to get it close.

I just maxed out the camber bolts and then took it to merchants haha.

I have a 5 year alignment plan on the corolla so they do alignments for free. It's like $180 up front or something.

yeah. I have to get one of those once I get more time on my hands. I"m thinking of trying to sell the turbo after I fix it. I've been liking the idea of getting a Spec 7 instead.

Lol, I think it's because I normally double register my car. I also forgot, this will be my First AutoX on my Miata trans. I'm nervous now.

last weekend was fun. It's always nice to meet up and hang out with some RX-7 guys at an autocross even if I didn't have my RX-7 with me. I did beat all the rx-7s there though in my corolla

If someone wants to come regain the honor of RX-7s there is another AutoX this weekend at Winchester VA (near summit point), the lot is nice and long and you can get going pretty fast, I like it.

Here is the course last time we were there:

Hehehe, keep talking I'll get you eventually. Even if it takes some mods and R-comps to do it

I'll be there this weekend. The last course at this lot was so baddass I wouldn't dare miss it.

Who else is going to show?

haha, thanks. My mom drives a Camry thanks

Toroids, you better bring your A game, I just dialed in another 1.5 degrees of negative front camber

PS - I'm looking forward to you beating me, then I get to bring out my rx-7 and not feel bad about it

Still working on the driver Mod. Once that is complete, watch out

I better start working hard 'cause I'd love to see that Flat Black Beast in person.

the next CDC auto-x is on 8/21st in Winchester.

I ordered a set of ground controls for the corolla yesterday, hopefully I'll get them on before the next event

yeah... I'm not really sure what happened last weekend, I was off my game. I was 3 seconds behind frank's miata

I just got serious with spring rates though, so don't expect it to happen again 525F/600R lbs/in. lol

It sure was a fun course though. I wish we would have gotten more runs. I stuffed a couple of my runs pretty bad and would have liked to settle in better.
