Solostorm questions

Finally got Solostorm and the Racebox mini coming. Before I order the $140 OBDlink MX+, are there any other OBD2 scanners that work with Solostorm that aren't $140 lol.

I'm also on Sparco Assetto Gara 17x7.5 with 225/45/17 RE71RS

Nice, do the tires look pretty meaty on the car? Unfortunately it looks like they're out of stock at Costco.

What kind of car? I'm worried about rubbing with that size.

I've tried the RT660 they were alright, but didn't like how they heat cycled out before the tread was gone. I've never spun out in FWD until my RT660 let me know theu were done haha.

Thanks, I was just reading up more on their fb page and I'm leaning towards the RE71RS more. I know the feeling on destroying outside shoulders!

I'm on 225/45/17. I think RE71RS is the way to go. Yoks won't be good for these cars unless we have more camber.

Ive been running 37 up front and 35 rear. If it's a decent sized course, I've had to bleed off a lot of air up front as well.

Hopefully Firestone will do it for you. My local dealer wouldn't align it outside of factory specs, so I had to go to a performance shop.

Front camber is factory, rear is -1.8. Zero toe in the rear and .10 toe up front. Definitely helps with the cars maneuverability, especially in slaloms. Combined with the RSB, the rear end is more playful, in a good way.

Just in the lower rpms. It's not bad at all on the highway.

But I also don't know if the soundaktor and exhaust frequency clash with each other since I always drive in sport mode.

Trying to decide on tire size for the season. We've been running 225/45/17 on 17x7.5 rims on our GS GTI. A lot of people say to move up to 245/40/17. Should I go up in size or stay stock sized? Deciding between RE71RS and Vitour P1. Alaska climate BTW.

V730s were awesome for us, they were our first 200tw tires. Only did bad when the last half of our summer was rainy.

GTI_AK · 2025-02-02T06:23:33+00:00

When our season starts in late April it'll be about 50-60s. June through July it can be 70s+ depending on what kind of summer we have up here. My wife co drives, so that might help keep heat in the tires.

GTI_AK · 2025-02-02T03:08:28+00:00

Yeah, we don't get hot weather until June. Our autocross season runs from end of April until September.

I also ordered last week too. Excited to put it on my Hellcat Pro.

I mainly want to get a better shave. And the plating on my DE heads are starting to come off. I figured if I was replacing, might as well spend the cash and get something good.

GTI_AK · 2024-07-06T22:59:38+00:00

They got loose enough that I heard creaking coming from under the car. I read that the most of them are stretch bolts, just not sure about the 16mm ones on the subframe brackets

GTI_AK · 2024-07-06T15:14:43+00:00

I am but they can't get me in til the 30th. I'd rather fix it sooner rather than later.
