The tires are too small. Most of your weight is in the front, you will overwhelm the front easily and turn the car into an under steer machine like a

Well, it is what it is. Got to be better than what I had. I would have loved to gone wider, but on a 8" wheel a 265 is no good and couldn't find a 255. Maybe one day I'll get some true race wheels and I can go wide.

I have RS3s, but for reference I run 43 front 34 rear. I don't know how the sidewall stiffness compares to RE-11s, but I know that RS3s will roll over a lot with anything lower than 40PSI in the front.

And something tells me we should all be listening to what stuy486 has to say about driving/setup of the car : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9xMCwUkajo Last edited by j-rho; 08-01-2014 at 04:16 PM. |

Competed in novice today (26 drivers), finished 2nd. .907 behind (pax). The kid that finished 1st is a really good driver and has a lot of experience (cart, rally cross) and in the previous event I've had been 4-5 seconds (pax) behind him. Except for the event in Birmingham last week were I did not run novice, I've finished 5th (novice) in the previous 2 local events. All the same guys again today and took second.
I felt amazing to have traction and for the car to actually turn and go where I wanted it to. Now I have to learn to stay off the brake and just drive. Last edited by cruzthepug; 08-04-2014 at 06:19 AM. |

I looked back at the pax times for the 5 events I've done. Pax overall standing I had the 45, 48, 64 and 49th place times. After putting on the new RE-11's I was 14th overall pax this past weekend.

I've got 245/40/18 front, 275/35/18 rear and I'm running 45psi front and 33psi rear. These pressures were recommended by a guy that uses them on his G35. After a couple of runs he checked my tire and they were showing just the right amount of roll.

And I almost never DNF, but on that particular practice day my co-driver had claimed to be able to do that section flat, so of course I had to try it. |

Hey guys - check out the video I made of an autocross event a few weeks ago in South Jersey. You may recognize one of the cars also the video of the run is my fastest of the day (I think I ended up 17th out of 80 something cars, for being new this past year I'll take it).
