anyone experience any chunking on the oem or other street tires?

You can on OEM and all season tires, even some summer tires if you don't manage the heat and get your camber dialed in. Did let them get very hot? Are you spraying them down with water between runs?

didn't get any real chunking. i got some some small cracks here and there. maybe small pieces of rubber missing in some spots. i didn't water them down when i ran, but i will in the future. i suppose i'm not complaining about toasting the oem tires too much as i plan to get star specs once they're done.

I put my BRZ on the scales tonight, no spare, tools, cover, floor mats, cup holder, Gas light just came on. Still has full stock exhaust, stock wheels/tires.

2,645 lbs

Wow, that's light. I got a fat one!

I weighed mine stock except for 235 Dunlops at the SoCal Divisional, right after I got the car; it came in at 2,720. Kevin Taylor's FR-S, with exhaust cutoff, lightweight wheels and 225 RS3s, was 2,675 if I recall correctly.

I'm sure scales skew a few pounds one way or another, but I thought the FR-S was supposed to have a little less heft.

I got a stupid question.. Is it against stock rules if I get a BRZ premium and add the OEM trunk spoiler?

Mine, weighed at the Super Regional, came in at 2675, sans spare, tools, mats (all of them), light wheels, owners manual, muffler delete pipe, and 215 RS3s.

Yes. Also expensive because you have to install the entire trim along with the spoiler. Plus the spoiler is heavy.

I actually would disagree, locally at least. I don't believe there is any performance advantage so unless you win nationals, I would say this could fall under comfort and convenience on a regional level.

Simmons,

Thanks for the weight, its encouraging! My car should only be 14lbs heavier and you still have the 20lbs of wheel weight to lose, possibly more. Do those scale usually measure pretty accurately?

On the same scales my STX Rx8 weighed 2,810

Yes they are accurate. I weighed my other cars on these and SCCA scales with the same results.

Cool, thanks again, good info. On your alignment, did you have to wiggle anything in the rear to get your settings? Seems like the rear is pretty good compared to some I had seen. We could probably talk about this at Nats but probably other people are curious.

xwd · 08-23-2012, 11:42 PM

Gas Is pretty heavy and would explain some of the differences I can't remember anyone weighing the car with the light on.

57/43 weight distribution but that's not surprising. The bulk of the weight loss is in the rear of the car. With some lighter wheels and tires and a muffler delete pipe you could get awfully close to 2600 lbs. I was shooting for 2650 in my limited. There is a good 6-7 lbs if you drain the washer fluid.

Of course I could probably stand to lose a few lbs myself.
