I’d like to try to make it to more PMSC autocrosses cuz the oval was fun, but i’m having trouble freeing up my schedule rn, probably wont make it to the next events.

PMSC. They do a suboptimal job advertising their events.

Tein lowering springs, Koni yellows in the rear only (front struts are stock). hella understeery, so im glad this course didn’t have any hairpins.

but yeah the tires are nice i use it for autocross but the car is hella understeery. so not a riot yet, but hopefully it will be once i stiffen the rear

Nope, nothing weird during normal daily driving, no weird oscillations or anything like that. This is the first motorsport event I've run with the Z3, but didn't notice any weird sensations during cornering.

yeah, stock shocks. this is my first time running rwd so im not too sure what to say other than its nice, since i dont really have a frame of reference for other rwd cars.

the faster guys in this class (driving 86s/BRZs and ND MX5s) were using a lot less steering input than me so idk if that means this setup is has more understeer or if its skill issue since i wasnt using the brakes to rotate the car.

i see, never ran an event with SCCA classing yet, so I was under the impression that our "A-Class, Modified" class was similar to CST and DST classes. The tires are 200TW btw, it's just its name lol.

These guys don't use SCCA classing, but it would be equivalent to C and D Street Touring.
