I forgot to mention this, but I figured out why I felt like my Nitto NT01 tires had way less grip after the first run Sunday. All 4 tires are starting to show the cords LOL.

Very nice. Metal does tend to be less grippy than the rubber.

Haha good point!

Damn, first a bad cv boot now you find corded tires. Stop looking at stuff on your car or you will never have any extra cash!

You can call Marlon's Tire Warehouse!

I need a good tune now. My 1st 02sensor went bad causing the afrs to go speratic and now that I replaced the 02sensor the car runs around 14.8-15 when sitting at idle 10-12 under boost and 16-17 when cruising. WTH?

 

[codex]

The idle and boost afrs look fine, the cruising afr is a bit high but I've heard of people actually tuning their AFRs that high while cruising to get better MPG.

 

[hat1018]

I don't think those afr's are that bad.

[ajkulish]

Thank you sir! If you don't have anything in 18" and you have something in 17" (Hoosiers, other slicks, or r-compound tires), I may be interested. I've wanted 17x8 wheels for my track wheels for a while now, so maybe now is the time to go that route.

I do have a set of Hoosiers that are 235/40/17 for sure......

I still haven't seen the results for the NEOhio SCCA event on Sunday. Anyone else see them?

 

[WillD]

Give John Berget a call for some take-offs: http://www.jbracingtires.net/

He can set you up with something in 18's in time for Toledo.

Thanks. I might be buying Marlon's Hoosiers, if I can find some good 17x8 wheels first.

Woah those are cheap! If I do the tire size calculator, it looks like those 9" wide wheels should fit fine. It says they'll only stick out 2mm (0.1") farther than my current setup on the 18x8 +50 RX8 wheels.

 

[princess peach]

Jake has them, don't remember the size (18 or 17) but I believe they're 9 wide
