Button Willow, ROUND 1

OK. There were 3 of us there. Please chime in you other 2 guys. The other blue RX8 did really good, he had some track tires on. The black RX8 got like a 2.12 I think with those Dunlop Star speed/spec tires. The black car also had some nice volks. I hope you other two guys chime in and give your Info.

I started out with a 2.20 on some 235/45/17 Falken 912's. Tires squealing around every turn. I had toooooooo much tire preasure. Around 46psi hot. I took it down to 39psi and did a 2.16. I took it down to 37psi hot and My final time for the day was a 2.14. Not bad for the tires. I wonder how I'd do on those Dunlops Star spec........

I had the Rotary Extreme dual cat back, BHR coil kit (freaking flawless, never skipped a beat and never felt a loss of power), kn air filter, tein H-tech and progress anti-sway bars.

Alot of poeple were using those Dunlops and it looks like the tire is the shizznizle.

I talked to a guy with a civic Si (the new one) and he had my tires before. He said that when he switched from the Falkens to the Dunlops he gained 5 sec. Now I'm sure he's better from practice, but 5 seconds is alot. TIRES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My next investment will be some koni yellow shocks because my stock front shock are leaking now and those Dunlops. Hopefully I can get this done before the willow springs event, I'll be good to go!!!!
