Yes please. I like the e30 but I don't know how good a race will be without slicks and race brakes, something you can't do while keeping it in c-class. I forgot to try widening the tires, so the sport tires might be enough with that...

Just noticed something about the first race pictures... I'm glad I was told it was OK to use downforce mods on my Civic... No wonder you guys pulled away so fast, and why my car seemed to suck with that tune.

1:22.7, dirty. I'd love to know some of your guy's alignment numbers, along with gearing and downforce.
I'm currently only changing toe, 1* front, .5* rear, trying to heat up the tires a bit more, along with adding ~4 points to the sway bars. Anything else you guys like to change?

My gearing is extremely short, lots of downforce, turned the accell on the diff WAY down.
I can't remember my alignment numbers, probably 6* or so degrees of caster. Mostly for the last hair pin. Similar toe settings as curly, went conservative on the camber, no more than -2* degrees.
I'm still messing with the shocks, springs, and sways.

I'm running 1:21.1xx
Alignment: -2* front camber w/ 5.5* caster and .3* rear toe. Everything else zeroed out.
I just got off but I'm gonna get back on. Not wasting my time on the ******* Gators tonight. I don't want to get in a fight tonight when I have to work tomorrow.
Back! to nerdin'.

Yeah the inside of the tires get way to hot vs the outside with anymore than -1.5*. I like to keep the outside and inside within 20-25* of each other, hot.
Softer settings seemed to make the car more stable too

I managed a 1:21.5 in this weeks car but it's still generally hard to drive. The #36 with the V8 is much easier to drive and goes a lot faster with all that tire.
