wpmarky Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 Also possible if you slammed your brakes and flat spotted them on track, or if you never used the cool down lap to cool down. Did you ever engage ABS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Definitely never locked the brakes but I felt ABS pulsing a few times. My vibration was there in between sessions too, like on my first lap out for each session and then went away. Most people wouldn't have even noticed it, I am just hypersensative to those things.

Rhitter Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 ABS - too frequently in the beginning. Had to learn how to brake hard without ABS - it came on super easy. When my caliper almost fell off only had about half a lap of cool down. Mine didn't start until the last session. But it was bad, my arms were vibrating because of it.

GTEASER Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Maybe you threw a wheel weight and when you rotated them you cant feel it now that its on the rear. Do you have stick on or crimp on wheel weights?

Rhitter Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Looks like I have a crimp on on the driver side and a stick on on the passenger side. both are there. It's possible the crimp on shifted slightly when / if the caliper hit it. My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I doubt the caliper hit it, if it had I'm sure you would have ended up off track with a catastrophic failure. Look dirty spot or clean spot on the wheel where a weight may have been prior to end of the day Sunday.

What's a good track/auto-x tire? I haven't been to the track or auto cross so I'm sure someone who does this more regularly can give you some advice or tire/wheel setups. Try looking in the tire/wheel forums as well. I'm going to get a light wheel with summer tire set up and have my stockers with all terrain tires for the few snow trips to Tahoe. Thinking between the matte grey TSW Nurburgring or OZ Ultraleggera for wheels. Most likely going with a 17" to keep the car feeling light on its feet with my 2.5i and not set in a tire yet.

fredrik94087 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 For a second set of wheels and tires in 17", I would do rpf1 17x9 +45 with either Nitto Nt01 or Toyo R888 in a 275/40/17. However, this does require fender work and it wont clear oem struts. Those wheels can accomodate 255 tires and it will clear oem struts but I dont know if either of the two tires are available in those sizes. I had 255/45/17 with the 17x9 +45 and cleared the struts but still needed minor fender work. If you want to avoid any fender work stick with 245 but use a track ready compond that dot street legal. I ran falken azanis 615k's and they were really good. I would have gone for the nitto or toyo but they have a 100 utqg rating while the falkens have a 200 rating. If you have to go with 245...get an 18x8 wheel at a +45 and you wint need to modify fenders. A +40 may still work...not sure.

wpmarky Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 I ran Hankook RS3's that day. I'm super impressed, I dare say they're the stickiest tires I've run compared to the usual Bridgestone RE-01's, Advan Neova AD07's, Nitto NT05's, and Dunlop Star Spec's. I got them cuz they're on clearance on tirerack: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Hankook&tireModel=Ventus+R-S3&sidewall=Blackwall&partnum=345WR8Z222140&tab=Sizes Speaking of more track days, who would be interested in Laguna around Thanksgiving?

Anything bigger than an 8 inch wide wheel with 235's you start looking at fender rolling/pulling with some camber to get it to clear. I ran Hankook RS3's that day.

fredrik94087 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 ^^^ suggestion was more for hellagt. He has a 5th gen and running my old koni/rce setup. Tire flex becomes a factor with 17" unless it is slightly stretched. Re760's for example had a hard time but the falkens are pretty solid. Running 245/45/17 on 8" allowed some tire roll but going 18x8 with a 245 would net a slightly stiffer sidewall for same tire. That said, I just checked tire rack and found both dunlop zII and yokohama a048 in a 245/45/17. You can run those all year except for going to tahoe. Hellagt...you may be able to just either tire on a 17x8 +45 to +40. That gives you several wheel choices. I would be curious how stretched they would be on a 17x9.

Spec B is the king of all Legacies models found in the US though. Thanks Fred. In regards to fender rub, if I go with an 18x8 w/45 offset wheel will the tire need to be 245/40/18 or stick with 245/45/18 with the koni/RCE set up?
