Cheap Tires + Autocross

Cheap Tires:
Princeton Tire in Cincinnati (by Tri County Mall) has always been probably the "best" tire place in the city (just read any reviews- they are old school but everyone loves 'em!)

anyway, stock pirellis are cheaper than Tirerack.com... INSTALLED. Tireracks always been the cheapest I knew of, and the other shops I talked to said the cheapest route was ordering from tirerack, shipping it to them, and then paying them to install it...)

Even better, 1/2 day lead time. All the other shops I talked to said "1-2 weeks"

Autocross:
I'm autocrossing at Cincinnati Mills mall on the 27th- Anyone else coming out? didn't see any camaros on the list, but I know some of my G8 friends are coming to watch. It'll be my first shot, and should be fun! It's not a points run, just test 'n tune: http://www.myautoevents.com/pls/mae/...event_id=12131

I was wanting to try the autocross on the 27th but I can't make it that day.

IROCanSS · 03-10-2011, 01:05 PM

I've done that several times, not in Camaro though. It's a blast, maybe I'll come out. It's the day after the Leprechaun Run.

Cheap Tires + Autocross don't mix so well.

You might want to put your new tires on after the autocross, and save the new tread.

Just kidding, Thanks for the info.

How loud is 96dB?? Would Drew10's beast be legal? How about a "chambered" exhaust? Any limits on power adders?

Thought you were going to Camaros for Heros. I never put my name on their list, but booked a hotel room just in case. Don't think I'll make it, too early in the season.

IROCanSS · 03-10-2011, 04:35 PM

I'm not going and I think 96dB is pretty loud. I've been to these before and there are some loud cars. I'm probably going and just going to press my luck. My car and stews are nearly the same volume. Different tone but pretty close volume wise.

Got my new taillight bezels today. They're matte black. I also got a license plate frame that is CGM. Now all I need is to get my car back so I can put them on.

My car is at IPS this week for a cam, torque converter, bushings, and a few other goodies. I'll put them on the car when I get it back. I'll take a few pics for you when I do.

Congrats!

I got mine out last Thursday for the first time since fall. I drove it straight to the shop. I figured I might as well get the mods I want them to do done early this year so I get more driving time this spring/summer. It's mid March, the snow must end soon!

Alero GX Coupe was sold yesterday.

Looking at an '04 Impala LS now.

I stretched the body to make it a 4 door, but I swapped in the 3.6L DI V6 for fuel economy. Then I picked up a corvette body around the V8. I also swapped the body for a C2 Z28. (In short I traded it for three cars, a Corvette Z06r, a C2 Camaro Z28, and a Cadillac CTS Summer Performance package 3.6L DI with Aisin 6spd.)
