SCCA Solo C Street Discussion

[renfield90]

I have a seat open, although there's already competition for it. :P

Shoot me a PM if you're interested.

Doug Gill sent a followup. Talked to someone at Toyota and they said that all year FRS TRD wheels are dealer installed and therefore will not be legal. So that seems to be the final word on that. No 7.5 rears for CS

I'm pretty sure the 1.0 had them from the factory.

You can try them, but I will have to follow Doug Gill's findings. Will be nice to rotate front to back anyway. The TRD springs seem to be the biggest legal help...

I'm pretty sure the 1.0 does not?

It came with the kind of meh wheels? I've only seen it with the TRD's but then I wasn't paying the premium. I'm fat dumb and happy with my 7" rpf1's and 71r's.

Approximately one month ago, they announced that the TRD equipped FR-S (springs and sways) were legal for C street. Can you provide a link or upload a document that says that the TRD FR-S has been slated for B Street? Or did you just hear this from Uncle Charlies best friend Roger during a Sunday afternoon BBQ?

For most people, this is the front page of knowledge for C street on our cars and, so far, the integrity of the information posted here has always been spot on. I'm hoping that this B street info is just "Roger" spreading BS because he drives a BRZ =)

that says nothing about us being sent in to B-Street...


I think the issue is doggie's choice of wording, because his entire post is self contradictory. Maybe he meant something else when he said "put down in B-street", maybe he meant "killed/dismissed;" I too read it as the much more literal "placed"

I agree. I think it's just poor phrasing. The FR-S isn't going to B Street.

Have I missed anything about the new V720s? Anyone tried them yet? They haven't taken over the conversation so I suppose they aren't the answer.

AFAIk there was an issue with sizing (not meeting scca requirements or something) but I gather that's done, they caterer to bare minimum 4 diameters and 6 sizes.


price is certainly nice


I'd love to hear reviews.

Anyone have an open seat for Packwood Pro? My co-driver is looking for a ride...

Bought a set of Sparco 16 inch +48 16x7 wheels in 215/45/16's Rival-S to try in the rear for the Pro Solo this weekend....I don't think this is going to be the answer, and the car looks ridiculous with 235/45/17 'Stones up front, and 215/45/16 Rival-S in the back, but I need to try something for the Pro's as I'm getting killed before the first turn. Initial drive had the steering wheel slightly off center...what's up with that? Put the Bridge stones back on in the rear and it went back to the (almost) perfectly straight position....
