    Kumho Ecsta MX Questions...

    Kumho has STS and STX drivers running their MX tire, but most autoXers in classes that allow do run V700's(R compound tire). My point is that Kumho really has a REAL racing history with REAL racers(not paid drivers) these are people that pay for their tires and chose kumho. I've had nitto...

    Kumho Ecsta MX Questions...

    You cant compare the 712(budget tire) with what HE asked about, morans. The MX is a high performance tire for a great price. please stop reading mustang mags that love on nittos(they pay for those words) and go to an autocross, where real drivers know tires. And guess what a LOT of them are...

    Can you adjust your brakes?

    pedal firmness is mostly brake fluild "braking" down, If its brown at ALL, its time for a bleed, its a simple two person process. Or with speed-bleeders its a one person deal.

    Lowering Springs...Do I need anything else to go with them

    The stock struts were not designed to handle the rebound of the new much stiffer springs, so good luck going over potholes and such, good after market struts will do wonders for ride. www.shox.com spend the money, koni or bilstens only

    Why replacing your suspension is good

    Drivers of most high end cars dont PUSH there cars at O/T events, those are easy kills, try running down a spec miatia, or a ITA integra. I run down all the street cars at ot events pretty easy but the real hard core guys in preped cars are another story.

    Tire pressure for street racing??

    darwin at work, thank god too, because we need the geen pool pared down a little. quickly running up to the speed limit is one thing, but premetated SR is messed up. strips are open 3 nights a week in FL, and theres autoX 2 times a month.

    AutoX'd the V6 this weekend

    Why did they put the v6 in ESP(our local group has a novice class). not to burst your bubble but 3 SEC is a lifetime in AutoX. 2ed place is great but 3 secs is a big gap(thats room for like 10 cars in ther) I run SM and out of 15 cars the top 3-4 are seperated by no more then a 1.5 sec...

    PISSED about c/c plate install and bad noise afterwards!!!

    Ive had cc plates for 3 yrs, with NO noise at all, I installed them myself, and then at the alilment shop he tighted everything down. If there is noise they are NOT tight. trust me.

    Best tire for the street and occasional track use? Need everyone’s input please

    It rains to much around here to be caught with a drag tire on the street, pick up a good high per. street tire, and two extra rims for the DR. I think having the nittos everyday is to much of a temptation. Stoplight to stoplight you will run through those nittos in 6 months.
