So...I just put money down on TC105N...now debating tires and sizing on stock suspensions. 245/45 vs 245/40 on 17"

Finally got around to editing footage from autoX in the rain at Sonoma a few weekends ago:

I definitely wouldn't want the weight or taller gearing from 245/45s on a normally aspirated twin.

You'd think you were on bald stock tires!

No, not at all. Sorry if I edited it to look confusing lol. They do a course walk and a slow drive for your first run so you get a good feel of the course. I'll probably be at the next event too.

Not sure what layout that is. I think it's the same area they use for drifting events though?

I know! Made me realize just how slippery it is in the rain, even with 245 PSS. Glad I wasn't on the actual Sonoma race track, saw some nasty damaged cars later in the day

Same area. It looked like you were going the same line with a couple extra turns, and in the opposite direction. I've only ever ridden shotgun on the drift nights tho, so not 100% sure.

The Auto X layout with SpeedSF at Sonoma is the same in the video as it was the time I went a few months back. Is it always the same?

Kaotic Lazagna · 04-18-2017, 04:20 PM

Just got an alignment done for the Yaris. Forgot to get a printout, but at least my steering wheel is centered now. Lol. Time to order those wheels and tires.

Yeah I think so, I've watched a few other youtube videos where they use the same layout.

Wouldn't you normally get an alignment after wheels? I've never had a car aligned before.

Nope. Wheels dont affect alignment at all

They should be able to email you the sheet.
