Either the Ksport or D2 coilovers . . . . . .or the GC with Konis.
Everyone swears by the weld in ground controls with the Koni yellows. But the coilovers are SO much easier to install.

The wheels are still up in the air, pretty much anything 15" and lite. Tires will be street tires. Since it is going to be a street driven car, I want the tires to last for a little longer than r-compound can deliver.


Kinda sucks because with all the mods, it will be kicked in to a very high class. But to keep it registered, I can do very little to the motor. So I will be in a class with race prepped cars, but mine will be stock. So no trophies for the Beagle, just lots of fun wherever I go.

 

Will the super charged engine move you out of CSP for autocross?

go with what the racers swear by. they know what they are talking about. if this car is going to see a lot of track time, you want to know you have the killer setup, not 2nd best.

 

The supercharged motor, and the fact that it will be completely gutted are the 2 things making it move up in class.

If I go by the NASA time trial rules, it will be competitive, but according to the SCCA it would have to be classified as a modded class. So I would be going up against heavily modded cars in my mostly stock car.

 

He has not won, his car won last year with someone else behind the wheel. But he is fast.

 

FDs take 285s easy. In fact the SM2 natl champ FD from 2007-2008 runs 285f, 305 rear, with only rolled fenders. Its all about the right offset.

 

posted pics of the porting today..

link is in the sig.

 

Hey guys... Is anybody going to be having his wife drive the car during the ladies event on Sat. 29th. I'm going to try and get Tabbs behind the wheel.

 

not this year. I keep trying to get her to take the new kid inside her for a spin, but she keeps telling me "noooo it's not heeeaaaalthy for the baaaaaby... blah blah blah."

I keep trying to tell her that MY kid would be just fine. he can handle the G-forces. It'd be like training...... she still said no.


but the ladys school is very cool. its a practice day for women only. Michelle did it once and she loved it. without guys there, it really takes the pressure off to do well. and its expected that 90% of the students know absolutly nothing about driving fast.

guys are welcome to pick up cones.... thats about it.

 

Jennifer ran the 2005 San Diego Natl on her due date. Then ran the ProSolo the next weekend. Jessica must have liked it because we had to force her out a few days later. We know of a number of other women that have done the same thing. Her Dr told us it was safer than driving on the street.

 

Or change diapers
What about Erika?
Rob- Amy could pimp the vert!

 

The guys get 2 laps at the end of the day to try and beat their girls best time.

BIG HINT; DO NOT BEAT HER TIME!!!!! No nookie for a weak. Just sand bag it and spin out or something.

 

When Michelle did the ladys practice, the guys did not get a shot at the track. I was really hoping we would... but nope.



Jason, Nice to see you on here. I didnt know you checked these forums... man your everywhere!

thanks for th input. I didnt think she was allowed to. Doctors always say to stay off roller coasters and stuff liek that. things that toss you around.... anyways, good to know.

 

Maybe we need to drag Mrs. Ulllose out to the ladies event

 

She was going to do the school... I was going to get some cars from work to "test" on Fri.

But instead we will be in AZ for the holiday.

 

... well that sucks.

and congrats on the championship.... again..... what does that make you, like 15 time BS champion now?

(4 right?)

 

We may be at the womens practice day. Steph had fun last year.

The question is . . which car?
Should we go get some brand new rubber for her MR-s, or do I let her drive the RX8?

 

It's Alive!!!!!

I still have a list of things to do . . . but it runs!!!!!!

 

^Congrats!!!

 

Congrats rgblbegl! Can't wait to see it at an autocross!
