    MSP in DS

    I think an MSP has a MUCH better chance of beating an ITR in DS than an STX WRX. Locally, sure. anything can happen. But as many of you know, nationals is a totally different story. And no, i am not one of those who thinks you have to have only a certain car to win. Like i said, i think that...

    MSP in DS

    It really depends on the level of competition. Locally, yes, a good driver can do well in an STX MSP (or really anything, for that matter). And while i'm not saying that the MSP is the WORST car for STX, it's just not the best--nationally. I firmly believe that nationally, nothing nothing...

    MSP in DS

    This will be my second year with the MSP in DS. Last year i ran on street tires all year long which i would definitely recommend as it really helps you learn the car. I am now on Hoosier A6s and absolutely LOVE it! The car is really well balanced (if you get the pressures right) and i firmly...

    that's cool. I ran the first one back in Feb. but (see my "hoosier in the wet" thread for full explanation) i didn't make it out to the one today. I will definitely be there for the points #3 event in May. and then probablly won't make any this summer. Let me know if/when you will be running...

    Hoosiers in the wet--possible, dumb, or just plain stupid?

    why the weather channel sucks!! Well.......i think hoosiers WOULD have been the way to go--if i would have gone! Got up at 5:30 and was talkin to my buddy to see if we were going to make the trip or not (the event was 2 hours away). Checked weather dot com and it was calling for heavy...

    Hoosiers in the wet--possible, dumb, or just plain stupid?

    Well the second points event of the 2007 season is coming up this Sunday, and the forecast is "showers and wind". Not so good for the lone MSP sitting in a class of like 8 Subarus. Sure, i kick their butts in the dry in DS, but the wet may be a different story. I've autoxed in the wet several...

    2007 Nissan NISMO 350Z (US)

    I think the interior is ok, and i can even get past the wing....looks pretty decent. Wheels---eh. But the front lip and rear bumper/diffuser thing---omg fugly! Probablly not worth the extra $$. The Z has never done it for me.....i've driven them on several occasions, and they just feel big...

    My gosh what is the world coming to!? Everything is so freaking UGLY!!!! S2000 CR......good idea Honda, too bad it looks straight out of the fast and the furious :thumbdown: WRX---not really surprised. These cars keep getting uglier and uglier. I'd consider buying an STi for my next...

    wheel lift dependant on driving style?

    Well i've seen pictures where i've almost lifted on street Toyo T1r's but nada on Rcomps. But as far as driving style--I typically do not trailbrake, and this being my first time on rcomps, i decided not to. Come to think of it, there wasn't really a point on this course where i could see it...

    wheel lift dependant on driving style?

    I've been wondering about this for some time now. I've seen pictures of (DS) MSPs lifting a wheel on the autox course all the time. I would think that once i got rcomps, i would do the same, but this was not the case. Is it dependant on driving style or some other factors. I'm not used to the...

    First event on race tires in the (DS) MSP----impressions

    Hmm....i wish there was some way to change his mind about running pro class. Not saying i'd be nearly as good of competition as what he would find in the pro class, but i believe i could give him a good run.

    First event on race tires in the (DS) MSP----impressions

    Yeah, he's supposedly a real cool guy. Looking forward to (hopefully) running against him this year. That is--if he doesn't run pro class. As far as your situation goes- i have heard that rcomps save you about 1-2 seconds on a 60 second course over street tires. But Ra1s are pretty darn sticky...

    First event on race tires in the (DS) MSP----impressions

    haha, couldn't we all. I'm gonna find it hard to go back after these wear out. I'm hoping that they last until i sell the car (when i get out of school) but i'm only half way through my sophomore year now so that's not too likely.

    First event on race tires in the (DS) MSP----impressions

    Yeah, i will also be doing as many SCR events as possible. It would be great if we could coordinate it in a way that we could all be at the same atlanta event (Mazda mafia, oh yeah) lol. I know the SCR has at least 2 or 3 events here in greenville (April 29th and October 31st) that i will be...

    First event on race tires in the (DS) MSP----impressions

    *my mistake* they are 225-40s. not 45s. The ITR i know is yellow and i believe is driven by a guy named Brett. The there were 3 other WRXs on Rcomps but only one of them is a good driver (the other 2......not so much---i remember beating one of them on street tires at an SCR event). But the...
