TrueChaos posted:Rivals over RS3's? Around here it seems like everyone who went rivals in 225/45/15's on 9" wheels switched back to RS3's. What's your experience been? The R-S3s are a decent tire that's excellent in cornering, but it has pretty awful braking performance and it doesn't communicate well with any sort of slip angle. It's a really easy tire to control, but unless if you know beforehand that it isn't going to make any noise before you're sliding, it's unsettling. The Rivals act more like an R-comp and are only slightly slower than something like an NT-01. All of the summer tires are really good, but the R-S3 has a weird sweetspot and I want something that's better under braking.

Ziploc posted:I wouldn't. A high rate GPS + an android phone will be better. Bonus points for being able to review poo poo in the paddock in your hand instead of on a laptop. I have Trackmaster and a Qstarz 818XT. It's a piece of poo poo. It's better than using GoPro video and guesstimating laptimes; however, the Google Docs backend is loving terrible.

Phone posted:Mazda2: Mazda2: - I did polish and seal it - Did an oil change or two - It also got hit - I'm also getting rid of it within the next 4 months Miata: - Didn't get a tune - Didn't do any intake testing - Did buy the Rivals, though - Redid one of the seats, and I'm going to fix the passenger seat when I get it back - Did do a BBK - Downloaded RaceChrono instead Misc: - Tow vehicle? Lololol - I looked at some slicks (Maxis RC1s are out), but I'm going to stick with street tires - I volunteered to be the crew for a bunch of Chump races and now have my own team - Oh yeah, like 30lbs down so far this year; going to swing for 10lbs lost in 31 days I hit most of mine.
