On a related note, what's the next best source for Bridgestones after Costco? Costco's selection of RE-71R tire sizes seems pretty limited -- I don't know if this is a new thing, or if it's always been that way.

Are you referencing their website? I am certain they have access to any size that the tire is produced in but don't advertise them all. For example, they don't show the 285/30/18 RE71R on their website, but the last time I was at a Costco I was able to get a quote for that tire. I would suggest either calling them first thing in the morning, you might get lucky and they will give you a quote over the phone (they aren't supposed to do this) or you will have to go to a store in person.

Technical Talk / Re: Wheel and tire sizes? Is wider worth the weight?
« on: January 29, 2018, 08:00:39 AM »
I would bet the general consenus is going to be that wider is better.

Also, if you are buying your Foregestars new, I would suggest ordering sooner rather than later. I was initially told my wheels would be ready in 4-6 weeks, which has now been pushed back to 10-12 weeks with my order being rushed.

Check out Ewald Performance. In January of every year Frank has a sale on Gloc Pads and they are 20% off. I was able to get pads through him cheaper than I could find them from any US store (after conversion and tax). I can't say enough good things about the service Frank provided and the Gloc Pads are great.

Ken, could you feel the solid axle, or did you just not like it on principle? :) I've never driven one, so I have no idea how bad they are.

I can't definitively say yes. Driving the Boss was my first experience with a solid rear end. I didn't have a chance to push the car very hard, that said the rear end did feel more lively just driving around on our terrible roads.

What didn't he like about the Boss? It's the FS car that I have the most irrational lust for. :)

It's a shame the gentleman I was dealing with needed to unload his so quickly or I would have told you to give him a call. I passed on an outstanding deal, he offered me his car for what the dealership had offered him. If I didn't currently have the Miata I may have actually bought it despite how meh I found it. My logic was at the price I would have gotten the car for I could have driven it for a season and sold it at a small profit or broke even worst case. The best parts of the car were the Recaro seats and the V8 noise. Although I have a feeling it may have needed some help to pass our strict 93 dB requirement.

Aw, seriously? I thought STU allowed for some engine tuning. Either way, I won't be class competitive but that's still a bummer haha

It does allow for some very specific tuning and tweaking. Unfortunately, increasing boost levels via mechanical or electronical means is not one of them. If you do get really serious having a custom tune that does not exceed OEM boost levels is allowed.

Hi Wray,

Welcome back and make sure you register as soon as possible for the upcoming YYC event. I wouldn't be surprised if this one fills up completely.

Just a heads up, if you have tuned your STI with an off the shelf map (Cobb Stage 1, etc) you will actually be in Street Prepared. As June will be your first event of the year you will need to get a Tech sticker that is good for the entire 2017 season. At this time someone will help ensure your car is classed correctly.
