whitetiger Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 re-71R's are stiff. unless you go below 25psi, you wont have to worry about worry. you just have to play with finding the sweet spot for traction. Again, a pyrometer probe will help you here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PortCityLGT Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 have fun! what mods do you have that put you in STX? Coilovers were the main "bump". I ran DS last year with plenty of bushings, but the loud exhaust raised a few eyebrows. My Ventus V12 Evo2s held up well, definitely seemed to prefer being on the autoX where they didn't get up to temp - on a road course I found the grip starting to fade. The sidewall also felt a little weak - I'm running these at 36F/34R PSI, seems like more than most? Anyone have a solution for PS cutting out? Maybe a DIY baffle for the reservoir? The course we ran had 3x 180 degree turns, it cut out on the exit almost every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The course we ran had 3x 180 degree turns, it cut out on the exit almost every time. Check the o-rings? they go bad after awhile. MY PS cuts out, too. I never found a fix, just tried to not go lock-to-lock so much. When I was lapping, I ran (outside front=48, inside front=46, outside rear=44, inside rear=40). Outside being relative to course direction. All courses in PNW I ran are CCW. I ran very high psi to prevent rollover. Eventually going to race tires (BFG R1) and then dropping the pressures down to low 30's. Wagon responded better with less tire pressure in rear.

whitetiger Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 C My Ventus V12 Evo2s held up well, compared to what? when you get yourself a set of real extreme performance summers *cough*RE-71R*cough* you will see that those V12's are poop. Its very easy to get ahead of power steering on the LGT. i just chalked it up to being the nature of the beast. drive through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PortCityLGT Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 compared to what? That'd be the Khumo Ecstas I got locally for a steal of a deal - don't regret the great DD use I got from them, but ugh, no fun for having fun. Totally recognize that the V12s are far from the best, but everyone's got a budget! Appreciate the advice guys, heading out again on the 23rd.

I Donated bucko3the7man Posted May 26, 2015 I Donated Share Posted May 26, 2015 ^yup. told ya. There's almost no audio feedback with them, but they grip like nothing I've ever driven on before. I'm getting an alignment this week so I can have more camber, I can definitely tell that I don't have enough from the wear patterns on the tires when I took them off sunday.

whitetiger Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 have you done any tire temp checks? Id hold off on the alignment until you verify that the tire temp on the outside shoulder is way hotter than the inside, and that adjusting tire pressures wont help equalize it. Not sure how much camber you are running now, but you can make changes just from wear pattern alone after one event. Having said all this, there is nothing wrong with maxing negative camber out. Once you do this though, do the tire temp checks to see if you made the right move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated bucko3the7man Posted March 20, 2017 I Donated Share Posted March 20, 2017 LGT now in STH, and a lot of cars that are currently in ASP will be in that now. http://cdn.growassets.net/user_files/scca/downloads/000/020/306/17-fastrack-April-Solo.pdf?1490029181 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoplightAssassin Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 ah ha. so this seems to be step 1 into opening boosts in ST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated bucko3the7man Posted March 20, 2017 I Donated Share Posted March 20, 2017 All the flatbrimhatbros with stage 2 tunes on their turbo cars that were previously booted straight to ASP. I know of 2 in my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 ah ha. so this seems to be step 1 into opening boosts in ST will never happen. 09+ wrx would be so much of an overdog then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoplightAssassin Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 will never happen. 09+ wrx would be so much of an overdog then. I think a bunch of Mini Coopers would disagree with you. I would take a Golf R DSG over the WRX too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 No FWD mini will beat a stage 2 wrx with VF52 on good coils. maybe golf R though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Donated bucko3the7man Posted March 20, 2017 I Donated Share Posted March 20, 2017 Yes, the year that the WRX (and every other boosted subaru) was in STU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoplightAssassin Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 The VF52 WRX and STI are the only boosted Subarus in STU. The rest of the newer Subarus are still in STX. Nobody even brought a STX WRX to Lincoln last year. That says a lot. Don't forget the extra power comes with a weight penalty as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the maybe AWD golf R, Only the WRX will be getting those 1.6 60' times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
