First time poster.
This is my second full season auto crossing. Last year I was competitive in sp class with my legacy gt in my region and switched to my first Rwd car.
My mods are koni inserts, toyota bolts with max -1.4. (That I could muscle up) STRANO front bar, project mu pads and 225/45/17 falken azenis rt165....(didn't want the best tire but a tire competitive enough to learn Rwd at its limit and beyond).
I would be real competitve if I can stay clean but I can't as of now so Im not lol.
Just wanted to know if anyone else is running"old tires" or am I the only dummy.
Seems like these cars are amazing with tire wear. Iove it

It's my first year in an FRS, and I bought ZII-SS before the RE71's came out. Much regret.

When your ZIIs last 3 times as long you might think differently.

No. That just makes them more painful. I've been driving like a jackass, trying to kill them fast.

Unfortunately I'm either a wussy or I don't drive enough. Still lots of life left.

My Evo has run ZIIs for over 70 runs and they're still fairly healthy but my FR-S has torn up a set of RE71Rs in just 19 runs.

coneracer30 · 05-29-2015, 09:00 PM

We have 70 runs on our Rival S's. I am going to flip them and hope for another 50 or so.

Holy crap, how?

I have 22 concrete runs on my RE71Rs (18 at Lincoln), and they look great. What surface are you running on? The Bstones wear quickly, but that's abnormal.

Laloosh · 05-30-2015, 03:34 PM

I have 12 pro solo asphalt run, 5 concrete, and 5 asphalt runs on my stones and they are doing good. There is some side wear on the center rib but other than that they are great. I just took them off as I am picking up a 15 wrx this week and they are going right on. If anyone wants a 19mm perrin fsb let me know. Mint, perfect fitment. Pm me.

So I got my first local class win today. This was good enough to best the next fastest CS driver by 1.7 seconds and take 6th PAX out of 160 drivers (including quite a few former national champions). I still think I left a bit of time on the table, but eh, I'm happy. I'm finally starting to feel like the car is getting dialed in a bit and I'm figuring out how to drive it.

Nice run. Looked like maybe on the high speed slalom section you got behind a bit. Not enough to loose that much time though.

Can you share your 'fancy alignment' before you forget all your FR-S knowledge? :-)

Lol honestly I call it fancy because the shop I go to does nothing but autox cars. There is not much you can do with this car alignment wise outside of the regular, little toe out front, max camber, little toe in rear.
