74, stock 2.0, stock front swaybar - no rear bar, stock front inserts, may mount an older set of adjustable Koni's I already have on the back, either way 100 lb springs, 195/65 Eagle GT's.
Looking to have fun, not too worried about much else, but I have a few basic setup questions: I'm going to chalk the tires, but what pressure should I start at? Full tank, half tank or empty tank? Spare tire in or out? The konis need to be adjusted out of the car - soft, medium or firm (keep in mind I will have to live with it on NH streets too)? Should I overfill the oil a bit? If so how much? What am I missing? Thanks, Scott |

Dunlop direzzas and hankook RS3s are the street tire of choice down here. Not many people run the R1Rs. We also have a couple guys running the Yokohama AD08s but if I was you I would look towards the dunlops or the hankooks and try to squeeze a 205/50/15 on the car.

I would consider going 205 if: it will work on a 5.5 rim it won't rub on the fenders without rolling (I do not want to roll the fenders at all) it is a real imrpovement over a 195 that fits the rim better the direzzas were very popular with the SCCNH crowd, go figure (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
