SCCA Solo C Street Discussion

I ordered 2 from a dealer, expecting the same (Subaru dealer), received 4 total bolts...

[TRev]

Mine came as individual bolts. I am guessing it depends on what part number is used.

I ordered from the Toyota dealer. Maybe it is a brand difference?

I got a single bolt from a Subaru dealership (after ordering a wrong part number from a Toyota dealer).

I ordered "2" from a subaru dealer so once I receive them I will post my findings.

[Kido1986]

Guess I'm in the minority. Maybe the dealership screwed up my order? I honestly didn't pay for it, the salesman through them in when I bought my BRZ at MSRP (no choice, bought one of the first in Florida back in June 2012), so maybe he screwed it up

My crash bolts came one to a package from Subaru

[stevo874]

Same here. One per package at Subaru.

[Kido1986]

Guess I'm odd man out lol

Nothing much to talk about in this thread these days?

[Kido1986]

Silly season has begun. Even in Florida, we have a 6 week break :P

To be honest, after losing by a large amount to a near alienlevel drive after a year of being right on his ass in the State Champs, I'm burnt out for a bit. I wish I had something else to drive locally for a little while.

I was begging Dave-ROR in another thread to codrive his new 94 MR2-T hahah

Our season doesn't really end down here, so I've been driving other stuff as well. Not sure what I'll do for next season. The PAX number improvement will certainly help locally, but it'd take quite a mix of skill/luck to podium in CS at nationals with a twin. I may still go for it just because I am averse to codriving at big events and I don't want to buy another car currently.

Last event dec 14. Z2 with 250+ runs on them in the cold should perform nicely.

Are you that convinced the RX8 and one ringer Miata is that much faster than the twins?

The gearing hurts us against the RX8, but on a 60 MPH course or less, I don't really see it being an issue. A course that's heavy in slaloms and low on top speed should favor the twins over the RX8. Other than one random car in California, the only the Miata to show any signs of being competitive, let alone faster than the twins has big $$ Double adjustable Koni's, that no one has even tried on the twins yet. And this car is driven by Fenter, a former national champion in arguably the most competitive class at nationals (SSR). I'm not even sure he'll be driving that car next season, and I've beaten the car owner (Harvey) 2/3 times when facing him. There's still more shit to be tried and tested before saying the twins can't even podium at nationals I feel. The 370Z is gone, our PAX number is fixed. We should all be pretty damn excited.

On another note, what would need to be done to use wheels with a 35mm offset to be legal for Street? 10mm spacer? Probably can't run that large of a spacer on the OEM studs though I assume?
