Anyone have a cutback that is legal for SCCA auto h street?

Looking at this one:

So I bought some OZ wheels that are less than 15lbs, the above exhaust and some 215 / 45 / 16 rivals and Falken tires. More endlinks and to help with the front sway bar.

1st test n tune is March and planning on going to as many Evo Schools as possible with the boy instead of national events to maximize seat time.

Is there a schedule out there for Evo schools in 2021? Their website's got nothing I can see. Would love to do the level 1.

They are 215s. The yoks are 225s so I’m not expecting a surprise. Both sets of wheels are 1/4 inch more than stock. Offset confuses me more than anything else because I think the number goes down to increase the tire being away from the shock.

glad I'm not the only one who can't get offset straight

Will be interested to hear how the tires work out. A little over 2 months here until our first event...

Have you considered the Yokohama A052s? Sounds like they’re one step ahead of all the other tires out there currently but just a little pricey though.

 

[m3kerry]

I did and it seems to be the hot setup for a front sway bar like mine. I will test those next. We will burn through those two sets in 3 months. We run a lot of 2 day events with 8 runs per day. So 32 runs in a weekend. 2.5 weekends in a set of tires.

What are the camber limitations in H/Street??
Are even the camber bolts allowed?

I ask, because for optimal autocross setup with the A052s, I've heard that -2.5 degrees is a STARTING point, and may go up from there.

 

[m3kerry]

I’ve got about a degree. Lots of flipping tires.

2 sets of wheels and tires allows for 4 sessions of 8 runs rotating back to front between sessions then to the next set of wheels and tires.

Have you driven on the RT660s yet? I need to buy tires pretty soon.

I have been thinking I haven't heard about your adventures lately, only to come and look to realize I have missed since January till now.
In the 3 local events plus the Vegas Tour, I have been playing with the RT660s, as well as the Shift to 3rd.


RT660 seem to be working well and holding up well, but they need more pressure then the RE71s.

The Shift to 3rd... At a local event at an old airport runway, we had LONG sections of cross over/transition/slalom. First run out I bounced off the limiter at the cross over. So run 2 I did the upshift right when I was lifting to rotate to take the cross over. Because the rest of the way out was no heavy acceleration just maintenance throttle It REALLY helped me pick up the pace. Then was able to downshift to 2nd at the turn back at the end of the straightaway. Of course the 1st time I tried it, I blew the new cone because i was carrying so much more speed, but the 3rd run was great, and got me the class win. At the end of fun runs (we only count the first 3 for competition like a Tour race), I was up a full second over what my winning time was.

Vegas day 2 had a point I was hitting the limiter, so I went for it run 3, same thing was carrying so much speed I blew the next corner, but even with that I was still almost 1/2 second faster. But I did have to go back to 2nd almost immediately.

I bought this thing and we are winning in it. I still own a fully prepped FiSTand plan to run it in Lincohn for spring nats in a few weeks.
