Grats on a 2nd.
Whats your set up? Seems like running ESP you should be higher up on the PAX list.

Only have 3 sp mods: 1g cbv on metal uic pipe and boost control.
On top of my stx mods from last yr:
. 235/40/17 dunlop z1 on 8" +35 mm kosei
[I plan to get 255 kumho xs [cheapest of the top street tires] and use my 9" +25 offset rims]
. sway bars
. coilovers (eg koni sport/yellow, ground control kit incl 600 lb front 7", 400 lb rear 7" springs)
. offset front upper urethane bushings for neg camber (ingalls 35750)
. custom shortened front upper arms for neg camber
. hi flow cat, rre/road race engineering 2.5->3" downpipe, catback
. upper strut tower bars/braces
. lower front strut bar/brace from road race engineering, since sunroof cars benefit
. mild fuel tuning via dsmlink
. urethane bushings and engine mounts (eg energy suspension)
. Front alignment: -2.5?, 0 toe
. Rear -1.2?, 0 toe

I'm in a local street tire class so my pax position vs those on r comps is bad.

I might have to start going to the san fran runs when i get home. GJ

Oh, I see now. Youre ESP modded with the exeption of required to use street tires.
Well, thats lame they have you on the ESP pax. It definately messes with others being able to compare your times. V710s could have been worth upwards of 2 sec on that course.

Got tired of changing wheels in 2005, and the top street tires have narrowed the gap w/ r comps to much less than 2 secs

Got any pics of the 9" +25 wheel/tire combo on your car?
Did the tires tuck with that offset (and neg. camber), or did you raise the car enough to not worry?

 

[everbruin]

They stick out like 1/2"
