FS $500 BMW 335xi OEM wheels (no tires)

A post from my neighbor: In case anyone here might be interested I am selling my BMW stock rims. Will fit most newer 3 series BMW's.... these came off of a 335xi Coupe. EXCELLENT condition! Tires have been removed as tread was low- just selling the rims. Asking $500. Size- staggered 18x8 front and 1...

Re: Determining 2014 CDC Optional Classes

I dislike the idea of only being able to check one block, that to me is like making a movie that's only eligible for "best picture" and forsaking every other category. My car fits in like 4 different categories and I'd like to check all those blocks. Such as it is, I'm still content to do ...

Re: Rivals or ZII's

I had the opportunity to drive similar cars (both BRZs) on both Rivals and the Z2, and they felt exactly the same to me. Sort of reminds me of a high performance tire test that Tiff Needell did a few years ago where all these automotive journalists were there saying things like 'progressive breakawa...

Well that said, no coilovers for me until i at least get my student loans paid off, so it's your fat-tired, modded FRS vs my stock RX8, It'll be a bloodbath. :oops:

Re: bump stop modification? (NC Miata/RX8)

Notice that they say "sway bars are designed to reduce chassis-roll in turns and increase the RX-8's sensitivity to steering input, thereby improving maximum cornering power" The improved cornering is a result of sensitivity, not grip. Sensitivity only makes you faster if your car is a han...

bump stop modification? (NC Miata/RX8)

Hey everyone, just seeing if any of you NC folks have experience with perforating or shortening bump stops to balance handling at 10 tenths. My understanding is that the NC and RX8 both have minimal shock travel to bump stop engagement so that they can use soft springs for daily driving and then hav...

Re: Proposed Changes in 2014 CDC Autocross Series

To add, my hair-brained idea to further the 'fun' of these new joke classes is to come up with a magnet for the points leader in each class to wear proudly on their car at each event until they are unseated and have to pass it on to the new leader. Kind of like the special jerseys that they wear in...
