tireboi · 02-12-2010, 08:41 PM

Hello, long story i have always wanted to compete in TT with my STi, eventually i gathered enough track experience to prove myself in a TT competition. Now i blew up my stock VF-39 and block due to an oil problem.

my new build

-12k STi block
-740cc injectors
-CP pistions
-Injen CAI
-HKS hi-powered exhaust
-Flex Up pipe
-powerslot rotors
-RCE yellows
-tuned and built by Topspeed

Im looking into buying these new parts
-27-29mm whiteline front sway
-better tires/ dedicated track wheel

right now the car sits with Nexen n3000 tires

great for DD but not what i want in a track tire

Pics

any comments advice criticism is glady appriecated
im looking into staying in TTb for i dont want to be raped by TTA vettes

I ran a front 27mm bar on mine and didn't like it. The suspension didn't comply, it just skittered over the track. Particularly over the curbing. I'm really much happier with 24mm front and back.

I do have a 27 available but, unless you make it up to northern VA. It's probably going to stay locked in my shed.

I agree with kwan 27mm in front felt like crap corner exit. I'm runnin 22/26 now

I'm pretty sure you can't stay in TTB if you're running an upgraded turbo. When I was looking at a custom reclass for a turbo upgrade Greg (national TT director) said my 04 STi would have a new base class of TTA with custom weight and power limits. But all those limits are over 10:1...even though the TTA weight/power limit is 8.7:1

It's tough competing with C5Z06's in TTA (good luck against Mark Nunally and others in SE

) when they can get to the 8.7:1 weight/power limit and we can't even go under 10:1 with an upgraded turbo. I mean, theoretically we could get close to the 8.7:1 limit on race gas or e85, but that would be on a very aggressive tune, not safe at all for the track.

But anyways, it looks like you're under 10 points so far. You could run Hoosier R6's in the TTB limit of 265mm. I doubt you'll be competitive on street tires.

PM'd you about help with sponsors.
