More autox with the SS

Well this was my second autox of the year did fairly decent and this time I drove the car to the limit. I actually lifted the rear wheels a few times in some of the turns with the stock all seasons (which I found out get very very sticky with a warm course). But anyway here is the video with my runs in it first two are practice the last two are the the recorded runs. Hope you guys like.

Here Is the results of the day it doesnt look too good but pretty much every other car is set up for autox (Suspension, slicks or summer tires, racing seats). As soon as I can find suspension and some racing seats I like I will switching it out. But here is the link.

Yeah wheels and tires are first Im looking at some Black Enkei Ls-5 18in rims with michelin pilot sport all-seasons (had them for my GTO and they are great). I will be taking the stock rims and putting a hoosier D.O.T. sport racing tire on it for autox. Then will be seats then suspension.

have you thought about the re-01's? they're awesome... not a full slick but still...


seat wise, i liked the sparco fighter or speed seats... a fixed back so i'm not sure if you'd want that for a dd... reclineable i've heard the torino's are really nice...

good luck. sounds like my kinda ride!

I actually just ordered two Sparco Street Chronos with Gforce 4 point harnesses but since they are black I am getting them reappolstered with Red leather and the Black Suede Just like the stock seats and get the SS put on it as well. As for the tires I prefer tires that arent a full slick cause I like to drive to the event with them on cause we really dont get much of a chance to warm up the tires.
