[kalib0y]

Your car will be SOOOOOO much fun out there! :woowoo:

I call first dibs on passenger seat in the LS1 monster!!!! :hitler:

[Balleristic31]

Where did you pick up the RS3s and what size are you running?

My wheels and tires are heavy! like over 40lbs each! thinking of grabbing some light weight wheels and trackable tires.

Got my RS3s at JMP. They are 225/45/15s. Hit up edgar (e30_1st_muck)

I can't call it yet but I might have to stock up on painters tape and give the 15inch ACSchnitzers a run for their money before they go to the new owner. ;)

if you decide to go yes use a lot of tape :hitler:

I'll start buying the tape today but as far as registration goes, what's the latest to register? One of my brothers might be coming in his 91-4dr-318i too.

[Balleristic31]

Edwin just give speedventures a call. I honestly don't know the latest date to register.

This is going to be sweeeeeet!

I honestly wish I went with something more appropriate for my 15x7 wheels. Reading on the GRM forums, 195s or 205s would be more appropriate, give better response and talk more through the wheel vs the 225 RS3s on my 15x7s. It's recommended to use x8 or x9 with the 225s. I did enjoy them, but they do not complain. When over taxed (push) it feels like its skipping, no audible noise to also let you know whats happening. I do want to run the TRM C1s 15x8 sooner than later, but for now I might as well wear the RS3 to the chords. I ran them at 42psi front and 38 psi rear when warmed up. I should have dropped both another 2-3psi I do believe, but it's been recommended if running on the narrower wheel to up the pressure as the RS3 sidewall is softer.

Still debating the drive as I am always worn out after an AutoX just from meeting the many cool peeps out there.... On the drive back from Camarillo Airport after running there I had to take a small nap, and that's only 1.2 hrs out....

Good information, thanks. TireRack has a deal on the TRM C1s 15x8 (in 5x120), I can get a set shipped for $463 which is tempting and I could run 225/50 or 225/45.

Redbull gives you wings!

I could run 225/50 or 225/45.

Redbull gives you wings!

Depending if one has a changed (or has a selection of) diff ratios, 225/45 can actually be very tempting due to the shorter rollout. I have a 3.25 (vs my 2.93) that I need to rebuild....so I stuck my 2.93 back in and chose the shorter rollout. (Don't know if you know that or not, I'm not wanting to be an Internet Armchair Engineer ;-)

Redbull seriously fucks with my system. ;-)

I am wrong. I meant to type "dropped only the front 2-3psi" not both front and rear. It will be more about feel than actual lap time, as the new generation of 140wear "almost R compound street tires" has a very broad psi range to work with.

A good article about the latest tires for us
Still debating the drive.....

Brett I wouldn't do 225/50s. U will have rubbing issues most likely. Just do 45s if u can.

[Robert]

I fixed my rubbing issues of my 225/50's!

You just need to flatten the inner weld on the rear.

Helmet Check.
Autocross Registration Check.
Gas ....... ?

[Balleristic31]

I'm thinking of maybe emailing speedventures to see if we could get a group buy price cause so many r3vers are going. Good idea?

[R3Z3N]

^That might be just the thing to get me to drive down to burn some rubber :-D

Edit: now its between seeing Tiësto the 6th at the Santa Barbara Bowl or doing this....

[Robert]
