ES guys, look out! Instead of old clapped out RA-1's, I'm bringing slightly younger and less clapped out Kumhos. Y'alls mine now!

I think a DS car will be faster than all the ES cars.

Good. I think you guys need all the extra help you can get. I did get rid of the corded tires for this event. But don't despair and think about taking up golf this Saturday, I have moved to street tires. I figure I will spot y'all a couple of events. Makes it more interesting for me :)

In the immortal words of Clubber Lang, I predict pain!!! :P

I also predict that I will have no idea what my car is going to do. After making wholesale changes from the last event and only getting the front end bushings done, the first run should be real exciting. At least I managed to do a half-arse driveway alignment which should help me keep the rear end of the car behind me this time. Theoretically....

Unfortunately, I also predict STT just got a lot less interesting. :cry:

I hate to hear of your troubles, Ryan. That sucks!!! Any reason that you are going to a ZC (other than finding a good deal on one and the fact that it has more power)?

My final prediction is that the guys in ES better enjoy this next event. 'Cause when Jim P. gets his MR2 back together, you guys are in big trouble! :twisted:

Well STT might not have me to kick around this week. If it rains, I might go in the 05 2.5RS instead. (The AC keeps the windows from going foggy on me.)

What's that GS?

Yeah, I have my clapped out Kumhos for this event too instead of street tires like last event. They should really help on the ice rink out there :wink:

Speaking of which. . . for those of us who've never been to the site what can we expect?

Edit. Nevermind. I found the Co$t thread from last year. Whew.

I'm sure that if it rains your decision is totally about the AC and has nothing to do with the 4WD. :D

It really sucks you won't be running STT, Ryan. Maybe we could just have you Dyno the car with the ZC motor and add ballast as needed to maintain the proper HP/Wt ratio :D


I've made some changes in the miata as well, most apparent is the screaming banshee fart can :D
Not sure if I'll actually be any faster but it will sound really fast! :lol:
