Most of the people I autocross with are running a set or even 2 (:burncash:) each year. Sounds like your tires are likely pretty... tired.
If you can fit 245's I'd throw those on a 9. The Rt660s usually go on sale in March/April for ~$650 a set of 245/40/15. |
Machine work is done. Time to do some final garage clean up and build a motor soon.

Woo! Stoked to see it all come together. I somehow missed the above post, but most of the NA/NB (and even NC/ND's) that I've seen run TT5 out here are faster on the 225s anyways at the given power level. I'm curious if 225 RT660s on a 9 fit inside the NASA template though, with those tires running wide for a given size.
The max power bump in TT5 for 225 and under tires is pretty noteworthy. I'll likely drop from my 235s to 225s next year if I can get a concrete answer from the other NC guys on which 225s securely fit the template. |

Decided to toss in the aero to start. The 1.6 is still alive and I can drive it with this + the 15x9 and tba tires to start the season if my motor build isn't finished.

Looking good. I love the little flare out at the ends of the bumper to cover the front tires better. Should've done that with my NA.

Ordered a 6psi wastgate actuator as well so I can try to get this car to a proposed 186 "average hp" trim for NASA. Also going to pick up a 6 speed transmission for the SCCA time trials where I can send it. Will be fun having a few maps :) |
