New to TypeR's

[Bbasso]

Before you start thinking what you want to do to your car, I suggest reading the rule book for HC. you will be shocked on what you can and can't do.

I already skimmed it today. Almost the same as SCCA but you can do more like intake manifolds and flywheels. I havent seen any huge modification that you can do......unless you know something/advice

[Bbasso]

Not to come across as a wise-ass, but it seems that you have most of the basics covered. Just need to follow the rules for the class you want to compete in and go from there. In other words, get a shell- build and race!

I'm talk to some guys right now. Oh I cant wait to get building on this thing

Will get your cage pics soon. Been busy swapping motors in the car.

Edit... found some older ones. Not the whole thing in one pic, but both sides and you can see the horizontal bar in question.

[coolhandluke]

Just forgive Dave's painting skills, he was never good at coloring within the lines.

[BoostedBB6]

its ok. looks like Dave's concern was more to prevent rust on his welds and not make the box plate cage look nice. race cars will be race cars.....they get fucked up one way or another

[coolhandluke]

This I know, I were merely poking fun at Dave. Sorry to be off-topic.

so can anybody tell me what offset and bolt pattern the TypeR is? Im trying to find where to buy a set of Kosei K1 Racing wheels 15'' x 7 or 7.5(doubtful). can anybody recommend an offset or place to buy them?

[Bbasso]

15X6 +50 offset 5X114.3 for USDM
16X7 +50 offset 5X114.3 for just about everywhere else
As for buying Kosei wheels... Tirerack is the only place I know of.
But try the past sponsers for the ITR Expos, maybe they can help you.
15X7 Kosei with 205/50-15 RA1s are what I use for track.

[BoostedBB6]

would be going 7.5 wide be worth it? any wheels out there similar to the Kosei K1 at 15 x 7.5?

[Bbasso]

In competition, it's all about rules... they will dictate what you can use or not.

[BoostedBB6]

i can go up to 8.5'' but thats crazy IMO. the rules say this. i cant find where to buy 15'' x 7 Kosei K1's on tirerack

[Bbasso]

Kosei wheels like I use http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_im ... 8_full.jpg (many others too) were discontinued a while back (in 5X114.3).
For racing, I'd use cheapish wheels, they're gonna get messed up.
So find some used ones that fit right and fit your budget.

[BoostedBB6]

damn so I won't be able to find a set out there? really would love a set. know what the next best thing is? i love that style too. suggestions on wheels for racing?

[Bbasso]

If you like that style... http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_im ... 220821-280

Check out the rest of the photos, http://www.cardomain.com/ride/503605
The size of those, mine are 16X7 +43 offset. But they are my street wheels with A/S tires.

[BoostedBB6]

yeah man. love those wheels. what traction bar are you using?

[Bbasso]

Z10

[BoostedBB6]

buddy club P1 wheels cost way too much to punish on the track. willing to sell your Kosei's?

anybody know if traction bars are legal in SCCA ITR or NASA H2?

[Bbasso]

My wheels... Just slightly more $ then Rotas

No clue about their legality...

Sell my wheels.... Never!
But everything has a price...

[BoostedBB6]

do rotas come 15 x 7.5?

[Erik95LS]

do rotas come 15 x 7.5?

there were some special runs of slipstreams made in 15x7.5 and 15x8. I would love to find a set.

BuddyClub, slightly more.
Rotas, about that range.
