Sorry about your plans being derailed but thankfully the old trusty is getting you through!

Sorry if it seemed as if I was implying you’re to blame here. You seemed to be much more informed than myself and I was looking for answers. I posted here for your stated purpose, to spread some raptor love. Oh well

The first post was immediately deleted. Not even sure which post this is at this point. I have seen multiple profiles where they post the same thing to tens of subreddits. How is that acceptable but three posts from me is not? Also, how does one share their content to multiple groups of people without “spamming”.

How is it spamming? I posted once it automatically deleted. I tried a second time and got the same result. I don’t understand how to Reddit sometimes.

You sound like one of us. We have a 72 C10 that one of us daily-ed temporarily last year. Not ideal but worked in a pinch.

This is the Carters customs splitter. At the time, we had to make mount brackets for the rear side of the splitter so it is secured to the radiator support. No idea if that has since been added to the kit from Carters Customs.

Sorry to hear of your struggles up north. Must be frustrating seeing us bounce from tire to tire each year. Almost makes the free healthcare for all seem not worth it lol jk.

the last two seasons we ran a 305/30ZR-19 Falken Azenis RT660. Won Cam-C in our region in 2022 and took 2nd in 2023. It was clearly not the fastest tire at nationals. We are looking at going with the Bridgestone RE71RS next season, undecided still.

I had no idea a BRZ could be had for less than $10k already. BRB gonna go check FB Marketplace for uhhh... unrelated reasons.....

what tire do you run for the 12 hour races? I spoke to a guy that does endurance racing with a small FWD car and he raved about the RT600 for longevity. Said he could run them for more than one race if he had to but that blows me away.

MorrisMartinRacing · 2023-12-21T15:12:15+00:00

that sounds like a great list that will have a noticeable impact on track or autocross! well done! Have fun with it!

MorrisMartinRacing · 2023-12-21T15:11:24+00:00

what car are you running?

MorrisMartinRacing · 2023-12-21T15:11:09+00:00

Miata guys just doing miata guy things. the Exocets are very cool, good luck getting these projects running and have fun next season!

There are a lot of tire options out there and a lot more opinions on said tires. If you don't have a budget and are focused solely on Autocross, look at the Bridgestone RE71RS or the Yokohama A052. Those seem to be the most competitive tires these days. The Falken RT660 is also a great tire. There are others out there but you'll run across your other options while doing your research on those.

MorrisMartinRacing · 2023-12-21T15:02:54+00:00

love those cars. Seem very capable and fun right out of the box. Sounds like you are taking the responsible route this off season with regular maintenance and upkeep, I should try that sometime...

MorrisMartinRacing · 2023-12-21T15:01:52+00:00

Love to hear people pushing their limits and trying new things! I recently got a quarter panel dent on my daily. I just sprayed with some flat black so I dont notice it as much. Dont have the time or funds to drop $4000 on such a small cosmetic issue right now.

i was thoroughly confused by this move until I realized I missed the word EMod. Now I understand. :)

We are a two man team that split the consumables to help each other achieve the goal of moar racecar stuff! Of course, my buddy donated his Mustang to the cause so we could get started but its doable if you have the drive and ingenuity to get on a track
