What region of Indiana are you in? I highly suggest making it out to Grissom AFB in Peru, IN if you have not been there before, they put on some great events. I am hoping I will make it to atleast one of the Divisional events there next season.

Yup! thats my favourite place haha, been there twice.

2 weeks ago I got over 20+ runs there because we finished really early and only had 30 people, so it was fun runs over and over again, learnt a lot there.

Hey! I run STX on 255/35-18 Michelin PSS every now and then. My alignment specs are at -2 deg front and -2.8 rear. I don't have rear LCA yet, but when I get them I'll probably change the specs to -2.5ish F and -2 R. Should be a nice compromise, I daily drive about 50 miles a day on these specs and I'm reasonably competitive.

Boiler up! Recognize that parking structure

Finally got some proper Coilovers and Lower control arms on, got a great deal on a set of Feal 441 Coilovers







Heres how it sits after the alignment, I think its a bit too low in the rear but Id adjust that another time.

Track day PREP!

I got a bunch of goodies for a track day last weekend but I didnt have time to install all of it before the day, I got



-3 Bottles of Motul RBF600 Fluid
- Stainless steel lines
- Hawk HP+ front Pads
- HPS rear pads
- Grimspeed Master Cylinder Brace
- Schroth Rallye 3 harness.



I only got to install the pads before the track day, BUT im glad i didnt cook the brake fluid, it wouldve sucked to cut my day short for that.

I am glad I switched the pads, they were awesome on track and the coilovers felt flat through corners, I am impressed though on how well my all-season Kumho Ecsta 4x tires held up, although they were roughed up a bit, but they stuck pretty decent for all seasons.

It was at putnam park and It was my first time at the track (So I'm still very noob),
Best Lap times
Day 1- 1:29.5
Day 2 - 1:28.0



heres what the front tire looks like, it has less than 2000 miles on them



Post track wash
Brake dust was really bad for the hp+, I will be running them on the streets for a week or so and if it still dusts really bad I will switch them out for street and just save it for autocrosses or track time

Overall, track was an AWESOME experience and I learnt a lot, its always satisfying to see yourself improving, Putnam had so much run off area I felt safe ( I did spin off at turn 1, and had no problems at all). Highly reccomended for first timers.

I ran with 1010th Motorsport and they were VERY organized and I was impressed, there was an oil spill mixup on sunday and they managed to reschedule quickly and gave everyone good seat time.

I didnt realize there was a "build thread" section on this forum, how do I move this thing there?

I would not worry about it unless it bothers you. It seems like most people who are doing SCCA or tack builds have their build threads here and not in that forum.

Hello I was looking into getting some Enkei RPF1 in 17x9 +35 with 245/40-17. I am also looking into getting -1.5 camber up front to hide the poke, and -1.00 camber in the rears. However, I am currently running white line camber bolts up front, SPC LCA in the rear, and Eibach Sportline Springs. I noticed in the forums that you were running a similar set-up, and I wanted to know if you have any issues on rubbing? Also, if I decided to go with 17x9 +45 would it rub? Thank you!!!
