    best wheels/tires for track days are??

    which CCW's? I'm leaning toward the CCW's. So those of you that have 'em... which model and finish, and did you stay stock size? Planning on the Hoosiers. Roughly what weight savings over BBS. REDEEMED

    best wheels/tires for track days are??

    Thanks for the input. Is there a reason you use the BBS for the track and the 'other' on the street? I'm guessin' they're a little lighter, but I'd probably do it the other way around, since the BBS look so cool on the street, and wheels seem to get more rash and rock dings at the track.

    best wheels/tires for track days are??

    Very close to setting up for enclosed trailering to track days. IF I do this, it will allow me to haul along extra wheels and tires. So I'll need a 2nd set of dedicated track wheels to replace my "street car" BBS's (with new Bridgestones). Would probably opt for Hoosiers, a la Torrie, but...

    HD Radio... worth it?

    I've installed a new Alpine head to give me Ipod control via USB. While I'm installing new head I can add their HD radio, but it will require it's own power and finding a place to put the module. It's about the size of a booster subwoofer amp. Question is, is it worth it? I'm in a fairly rural...

    Cold Weather, Tires and Safety

    Here in the frozen southeast, prolonged periods of daytime temps in the teens and twenties is unheard of!! But that's what we're having! With due caution, and the understanding that the tires essentially NEVER warm up I continue to drive. Mich PS2's on 2 'other' cars seem to do well. I'm...

    My FGT is returning to Area 51 for a few new additional mods including the front brake air ducting, a subwoofer, tinting, and maybe a couple more things. I was at TWS at Rally IV, but missed other parts ot the rally. Is it possible Shadowman can make my FGT even better? Health and life issues...
