SCCA Solo D Street discussion

That's why I only mentioned the middle and outside edge on the front tires. The rears were able to get good temps across the whole tire. (More camber back there)

I think that's a good note, thanks!

To get even temps across the tire when you don't have proper camber, you won't be using the outside tread enough, and therefore, not using the whole tire. It's a good tool, but I wouldn't set my pressures because of it. That being said, it's easy to bleed down your pressures, and I don't think the tires are all that sensitive to pressure since they are fairly stiff.

+1 to this. At one point in CS trim I tried to tune tire pressure with a pyrometer. Even accepting that one third of the tire won't match the other two, I ended up pretty unhappy with the car, and ditched those pressures in favor of the ones that felt fast and were fast on the clock.

IMO there is a lot of setup procedures that are the "right" thing to do, but you end up ditching in Street class because you're too hobbled to actually setup the car right. (Obligatory "this is why I left"...)

Right I already thought it was stated that any/all FR-s' with TRD parts are in CS along with the 2017 86/BRZ

[Locust]

I thought the RS 2.0 didn't come with any TRD components? Was I mistaken?

Huh... I just looked it up, I think you're right. I think SCCA, like me assumed it had TRD parts it.

[Shark_Bait88]

For those who've ordered Konis during their rebate time, does the mail-in-rebate apply individually to all parts ordered or just to the order as a whole?

Example: Full Koni replacements from TR right now are like $793, and each of the PNs is listed under the $50 mail-in-rebate. So would it be $200 in mail-in-rebates for each corner, or a single $50 rebate for the order?

I'm assuming it's the former, but just wanted to double-check.

It comes with black TRD 17x7.5 forged rims that are the same as the 17x7.5 forged rims on the 2017 86. I think some people were reading posts here or in the CS thread and wrote a letter about it.

Correct. The limited production run doesn't help either; anything hard to acquire or perform an option package conversion for is going to get classed conservatively.

So Mark Scroggs in his Camaro is killing DS right now. Not looking like a good year for the twins again.
