well....i paid less than half of what a real one goes for shipped...i am sure 300 bucks for a real one + shipping would have killed...I am with alex, it looks good...i only think nardi aficionados would question it being a knock off or not...and it also feels way better than my old wheel...which was 35 bucks with the hub...lolz.

I also forgot to mention I took my class (sm, or street mod) by default yesterday. The supercharged mustang couldnt run because he was having problems with his fancy smancy sway bar links rotating. We were joking that he could have beat me though with one sway bar tied behind his back...he is on slicks and caged...and...well fast as hell. I was using the top of 2nd gear in 2 or 3 spots on the course and the rear end was sliding all over the place...i was even making a lot of tire smoke at the end of one of the longer right handers...so in reality i was putting on more of a drift exhibition than an autox...i need stickier tires in the back to be faster...but the sunnys are fun to drift on...hah!

We also took a pic of all of the mod cars yesterday...two amod cars (super go karts) one ssm (The vette), one bm car, and two sm cars...the mustang and me...i thought it was funny because i am the slowest mod car by a lot...oh well.

amod car

brian's mustang

bmod car...beat the red miata sunday by .1 second

(these pics weren't taken this weekend btw.)
Also the green legacy that tows the amod car normally competes for top time of the day with the miata and the bmod. He runs on slicks, has a brake bias controller, and k sport coilovers...lol.

some action shots from the last autox....of the notch

I took the clear corners/grille out while i was running in an attempt to try to keep things cooler under the hood...it was kind of hot out that day.

Do you not see the exposed core on the inside shoulder of that tire in the last picture?

you and i both know i've driven the ~1.5hrs to SD and back on tires WAYYY worse than sam's

but oh well, as long as you're fixing it lol

better safe than sorry...i might put the good side of the tire on another wheel eventually on the inside and toss it in the back. onlinetires.com hasnt sent me an email back yet saying they have shipped my one tire...i ordered it on monday...they sent me an email saying they took my money though...lol.

That tire did get 3 autoxs under it...the last one on shitty abandoned airport pavement, i think the toe on that side was 2 or 3 degrees out. My rear neg camber is like 2.6 2.8 with the canucks/mustang shocks btw...you can see how much camber is there easier with the s13 wheels i think. It was wet out yesterday...i should have gone slidingzzzzzz....

Fogs look good. My tires are always way more fucked than that, lol.

Alex, having balls doesn't necessarily mean having common sense

Yep, pulling hard on turns with exposed core on the tire shoulder is a lot different than cruising down the freeway and praying. Totally different stresses.

are you saying i didn't drive my cars hard then either?
dont make me quote myself lol

OT alert

sam31183 · « **Reply #134 on:** 07:26:55 PM / 09-Jun-10 »

its so hard for me to not make my right turn into town in 3rd gear at full throttle...especially when there is some dick behind me in a big truck seeing if he can get his front bumper on top of mine...not to mention when i decide to go up into the hills after class for a little game of see how early i can go wot in 3rd gear on a tight ass corner...

sam31183 · « **Reply #135 on:** 08:19:13 PM / 09-Jun-10 »

I dont mean to sound stupid...but can someone give me a translation?!?!

Maxpow · « **Reply #138 on:** 01:43:14 PM / 10-Jun-10 »

Yeah I have no idea what the fuck that means either.

sam31183 · « **Reply #139 on:** 02:03:43 PM / 10-Jun-10 »

I am thinking...staggered offsets right...staggered tires also? I am going to see how much azenis are through onlinetires.com and i might be calling them up and changing my order...i am going to have so much grip in the back! And i can add the 2 sunnys to my s13 wheels/drift tires collection....i am becoming a whore of round things...

edit: ummm, azenis are to expensive still...damnit...
