It's almost track season, in Florida anyway.

Any Florida track rats on here? Aprils the kick off, I can't wait to spend a few K on brakes and tires as I wore all mine out before the end of last season.

Can't wait to get the car out there with the supercharger, it's going to be nuts.

I wish I still lived in Florida. Been in Chicago since 2005. I lived in South Tampa and loved being able to have summer tires all year. Damn you guys that live in the warm climates...

Looks like I'll be getting a BBK before track season.

I threw a 15mm spacer up front with my 17x8.5 x40mm koseis with 245/45s today and took it around the "private test track" Rubbed a little in 2 spots but nothing worth crying over at all.

So I'll be running a 10mm spacer with new 18inch wheels (40mm), this also lets me know that I definitely have the clearance for 255/35 tires up front, since the 15mm cleared I know that with a 10mm spacer I have the 5mm extra from the 255s of clearance, and the 10mm more clearance from the strut from the spacer is also greater then the extra 5mm on that side as compared to the current.

Plus 255/35s are a little less diameter then the 245/45s so I'll have more clearance anyway.

All good news.

Kosei sale?

Yea I'll be selling them, but they are almost guaranteed to sell locally for a good price. They are so cheap they aren't worth shipping.
