    AutoX times on UHP All Seasons vs Stickier tires?

    I would suggest Goodyear Super car 3's...As long as you aren't driving them on snow, you'll be OK and they perform well as an Autox tire. They will still wear out quickly, but nowhere near as quick as a 200tw tire. These are also still competitive (especially locally) in Autox. If I had to go...

    AutoX times on UHP All Seasons vs Stickier tires?

    If it rains you will be in good shape! Kidding aside, I would say at least a couple of seconds. It will be course dependent but you will lose incrementally on all things that require grip (which Autox is like 60s of exploring the friction circle) - Minus acceleration because this car is so...

    Autocross- SCCA EV-X Class vs. SS

    I'm running some fat yokes right now and was running some fat Falkens and have not experienced that. Have you looked to see if there is even minor fraying, rubbing, exposure on your wheel speed sensor wire? Is the sensor secure in the hub? My car had that behavior when my wheel rubbed through...

    Autocross- SCCA EV-X Class vs. SS

    If you are looking for a tire that won't wear out super fast and will still be fast in autox (esp with camber corrections), I suggest the Goodyear Eagle SC3's... I was using those (265's squeezed on 8.5"s in Super Street) and they held up to a lot of abuse. In fact, I used them on my EVX-prepped...

    That's awesome - Should be fun. I'd love to see a Taycan show up at some point.

    Autocross- SCCA EV-X Class vs. SS

    The only advantage would be to run with other cars (if there are other cars in those classes) - There would be zero advantage otherwise because you would take a PAX hit. Also, it appears EV is not allowed in those classes so I guess it's a moot point! For me, even though I am usually the only...

    Autocross- SCCA EV-X Class vs. SS

    Ultimately you are taking a PAX hit by running either XS class vs. EVX so I would think people would be inclined to not be too frustrated by it even if the car is not "classed" in either XS class. I know in the couple of regions I run, points and bragging rights are typically looked at via PAX...

    FS: Unplugged Performance Model 3 Autocross Struts

    Sorry all - These were sold a long time ago. My bad!

    Autocross- SCCA EV-X Class vs. SS

    Fully agree about the rear bar comments - I am used to adding a big rear bar to other autocross cars and had that mindset but after putting coilovers on and getting the alignment right, that definitely changed my opinion!

    Autocross- SCCA EV-X Class vs. SS

    I've played with different settings and like others on here, have settled on 50/50 as what feels "the fastest". I have had trouble with rear grip at times when running anything less than 50/50 which is fun to get a little drifty, but not fast. Going to my MPP Arms and Shocks made a world of...

    Autocross- SCCA EV-X Class vs. SS

    I saw that - such a nice price. Definitely let us know if you get them how they are - I have seen lighter cars on these performing very well (competitive with Falken/Yoke). Hopefully they release a 285 or 295!

    2021 AutoX Points season log. 2019 Performance on Mountain Pass Performance parts.

    I highly recommend the 275 square setup with the RT660's. the 275 Falken is more like a 285 (it's huge!). I am going to hold off on tires for a bit and see if Bridgestone brings a new tire over here for next season. Kumho is also releasing more sizes of their tire so I am also curious about that...

    Autocrossing first time in M3P

    I’ve been driving around all summer with my car at -3.5 in the front (on the primacy tire) and they show no signs of wear. A lot of the driving is around town making turns so that probably helps (compared to if I was doing 50 miles a day on the freeway). I definitely recommend the mountain pass...

    2021 AutoX Points season log. 2019 Performance on Mountain Pass Performance parts.

    I'm a week late (we went on vacation RIGHT after the event) but the Hoosier Challenge went pretty well. Out of 140 competitors I ended up 3rd on index (behind a back-to-back SCCA National Champ and another Nat-level competitor) by .3 (7th overall on raw time). This was my first race on concrete...

    Thanks! I'll report back with setup info too since this will be the first race on concrete.
