Minor update...
Since the last race, I decided to just run my BFG Comp-2s through the season....well after about a week since the race, I've decided F**k those tires, sell them on craigslist and get some ZIIs. So I'm going to get a set of 205/50/R15 Dunlop Direzza ZIIs. Link bellow

Also besides that, I'm going to be tossing my nearly brand new Skunk2 Pro-S II coils for a set of Koni/GC. They're the set that the guy helping me build my car used to run. He said he has a whole bunch of different springs for it, so we'll see what works best on my car. All said and done, I should be able to break even on the deal easily, my skunks are in mint shape, less than 1000 miles on them. His coils are old, but with great shocks in them, so they should work a bit better on the track.
That said, if anyone is looking for skunks, feel free to PM me whenever. I'll make a legit sale thread once I get them off my car with the card and everything.
I figure I could probably get a $250+ for my BFG comp-2s. They're like $325 new on tire rack plus shipping, so 90%+ tread on them, they should sell quickly.
Anyway, not much else to update. Once I get the new rubber on my car I should be a good bit faster. Get around the corners quicker, and hopefully maintain enough speed to stay within Vtec in the hard corners. That was one of my major issues, I was doing about 3200RPM coming out of the near hairpin corner on the track, once I got back on the gas I had no power. Downshifting didn't really help much either, too much to fuss with as a new driver, ended up losing time.
Also other good news, turns out the GSR is actually an STC, not STX car. So I've been racing a class up. My PAX score would have been a bit lower, probably 3rd or 4th place roughly. No need to go back and do the math, it doesn't really matter, just good to know for next month. With new tires though, should be able to scoop up the win hah.
