*I* could fit a 255 with no problem, however... my front fenders are both pulled and rolled. Hell, I'm running a custom wheel spacer in there, and I could STILL fit a wider tire under there.

Dunlop Direzza Star Spec. 265 rear, 245 front. Not ideal on the track, but it's still controllable. I don't lose traction significantly front or rear first.

I decided that even with the super hard springs, the stock swaybars still allow too much body roll. So, I installed a set of ST swaybars yesterday. Haven't had much chance to check out the difference yet, but even just scooting around town yesterday I can tell it's running flatter in the corners.

Last weekend I spent two days racing at The Ridge... and got some video! So, here is come video of The Ridge from my buddy's car. For the first couple minutes he's following me, then I pointed him by so he could follow another guy in the group. This gives you at least some idea of the turns and...

There's another group meeting at the Northgate Mall parking lot at 10am. I plan to hook up with them, then see if we can make the Tacoma one as well. My US cell number is 360.820.5143 - should be active after about 8am when I cross the border.

There is a parking lot behind Papa Pete's Pizza in Centralia. Show up there and look for the cars! https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Papa+Pete%27s+Pizza/@46.7257831,-122.9762416,19z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0000000000000000:0xb1b2edfc4a69e1ae

So, Jeff took it even a step further. He's rebuilt the New Posts link so it excludes the bot everywhere. Also, you can click the numbers, and choose to see all new posts, or just the non-bot-news items.

So, I figured out a quick hack for you. If you use this URL to access the new posts, it will filter the news forum out of the results: http://www.supramania.com/forums/search.php?do=getnew&exclude=154&contenttype=vBForum_Post Personally, I copied this URL and changed my SM bookmark to point to...

That bothers me as well. I've been meaning to write something that allows you to filter out the bot posts if you want, but I've been too damn busy.

There are no tame IJs.

It's been a while since I updated my picture in here, so...

Actually, I'd say that Facebook has been the death of the Off Topic areas of the forum... and I'd also say, good riddance. Other than that, both serve mostly different purposes. Search on FB sucks worse than Supraforums. ;) So, anything that needs archived, searchable information is better off...

No video of the road course track yet. The Ridge is a new track, only been around a few years, and one of the things it *doesn't* have yet is any kind of spectator area. Also, it stretches out over a relatively large area.

I'm rapidly running out of things to do with it, to be honest. Definitely slowed down a lot over the last year. So instead, I've been out racing it! Had a great couple days at The Ridge motorsports last summer. I highly suggest giving it a try if you've never been on a road course track.

So, had some stuff done recently. I'd destroyed the pinion and some bearings in the rear end. So, I've switched to a Weir Performance 3:58 ring and pinion, and replaced the bearings with new unobtanium units from the same vendor. Some misc. electrical bits... my relays for the HID ballasts...
