Why would it need to be in BSP?


Wow, awesome. Good job Keith!

Chuck


I would have had to run BSP because they are not technically a stock wheel even though they are smaller than stock width in the rear. Brett and Matt were kind enough to let me run in DS though. Thanks for the congrats. I am still trying to figure out what happened today. You can ask Bernie and Gwen, as I was almost speechless on how amazing the car worked.

So I ran the car on the OEM Continentals yesterday. I had several passengers ride along with me so maybe they can comment more on how the car felt. I will say this course wasn't a great representation of how the car will fair because of the nature of the course. I am pretty much sold on building this up for next year, now if someone would just buy my Miata.

I don't know what it will be like on a tighter course, but on Sunday even with street tires the car seemed to transition pretty well. It was not the complete understeering pig I expected :wink:

Maybe someone with more experience in DS cars though can compare

Ok I had to bring this thread back from the dead. I just finished mounting up and test fitting some 245/35/18 Hoosiers on the front of the Crossfire and they fit perfectly. So I can run the 245s on the front and the new 295/30/19 on the rear without a problem. Now if the Miata does sell, this will be the new autocross car. :D
