Sounds like you'd be running in Street Mod or maybe Prepared. You'd have to check the rulebook carefully if you wanted to be in Prepared as some of your engine mods may be a little more than allowed. But Street Mod sounds more likely. In Street Mod you'd be running against any car that is not a 2 seat sportscar from the factory. In E Prepared you'd be up against neon's, civic's, rx7's, 4cyl non-turbo eclipse's, 4cyl mustangs, and most other small 4seaters.

The turbo puts him in SM. Everything else might have made him elligable for SP. <br>

Sweet, thanks guys.

Guess I missed the turbo reading through the 1st time. Good luck in street mod, I mean it cuz you'll need it!!!

Seems the new Azenis are due to come in a 225.50.15.....and 225.45.17
The only 16" seems to be 205.40.16. More manufacturers are due to come out with a more competitive tire, like Hankook who is on line for lots of 16s" (215-45-16, 225-45-16, 245-45-16) in their new R-S2 Z212 which has generated lots of talk.

Just a heads up. <br>

now that's BS <br>

see ya!

Now since you're running in STS you're limited to a tire with a minimun treadware of 140 and a maximum width of 225. A lot of you guys are liking the azenis probably due to their price right? Well I did some research on Max performance tires with tirerack and found that Pirelli has their P-Zero System Asimmetrico which has a treadware of 140(so think sticky) in 205/50R16 for $92 each retail +shipping and the 225/50R16 for $133 retail +shipping. You guys are probably paying a little less for the Azenis but don't you think the extra grip from the lower treadware rating is worth the money? I mean we all push our performance mods to the edge of the rules right? Why not run the stickiest tire you can? Thats why I run hoosiers in FSP. If for some reason I didn't have the money to get new tirs in time for an event I'd miss the event simply because the tires make that much of a differencr on a car with such inferior handling such as ours. And not to knock the Hanooks before they are out but I won't be jumping in line to spend money on tires from a manufacturer that has no motorsports background. Besides the Pirelli's Bridgestone also has their Potenza RE050 and S-02's which have a 140 treadware and a few 16" sizes. You might wanna check some others out especially if you're in the market for new tires anyways. Just some food for thought. Good thread though, I love talking autocross, you can only take so much dragracing talk...right?

I don't have experience with the P-zero's, but I really like the stiff sidewall on the azenis. They have excellent turn in and provide a good grip when they aren't over heated. <br>

I autocrossed today for the first time in the dry with the agx's wow what a great tuning aid. I set the rear at 8 and the front at 3 to start and i ran on rsa's for the last time with tire pressure starting at 45front and 42 rear. after 2 runs i felt that the front was too stiff and pushed and chattered a bit and my best time was a 45.78? so i set the front to 2 and dropped the front tire pressure to 42 down from a hot 48-49 and the first lap out i knocked off a 43.644 i could not believe how much better it was to drive. It rotated well i had very little front end chatter and it was easy to go faster and hold the line i wanted. well for the 4th and final run i went into a double apex left hander while trail breaking. trying to make up time. and went way too wide almost hitting a cone with the right front wheel. and got a 44.3?? but all in all a good day. the rsa's have 7,200 miles on them and 11 autocrosses and they are down to the tread wear indicators autoxfool was there co-driving a 1st gen ACR neon his best was a 39.995 on mx's my jaw hit the ground because the owner just ran what i thought was fast a 42.??? <br>

see ya!

OK i just picked up a set of beretta wheels 16x7 5slot 106bucks out the door. now the same place wanted 212 out the door in the summer that seemed a bit high so i waited until the winter and got a deal this is the time to buy race wheels CHEEP! <br>

see ya!

<- just ordered AGX's <br>

-Chris

<----- Hoping AGX's are under the christmas tree... <br>

<-----------hoping rear shims are legal and that I have revalved Koni's to match some GC coils (which also need to be under the tree.)

<---also would like to have last years' present actually in the car (gauges)

<----having withdrawl symptoms and have hardly even been on the 'net as a result. <br>

i wouldn't buy race tires more than 2 yrs old. After that they get hard.

Check out sccaforums.com See if you can find a used set of R's for around 200. 00 that's what I did <br>
