So , I test fitted the RDX 18's. not gonna work. Well, let me rephrase, not gonna work FOR ME. I'm not into that stance shit and these definately poke out.
  Too bad, I kinda liked the look.

Yeah, if it gets turned into an STF auto-x car next spring it will get a set of specific wheels and tires for that. likely some RPF1's and some 225/45/17 Star Specs.

Hey-It's a drag to have tires/wheels that are too big. Better to go with something reasonable, as you did.

Got the new 225/45/17 4X's on the stock 7" wheels last night. What a m'er f'in beyotch. That was a fight.... but well worth it. Why didn'y Kia use good tires on these cars? They would have sold a shit-ton more cars! It's smooth, quiet, poised and drives fantastic. The stock Goodyear RS-A's had ~5-6/32 of tread left, but the instant I started breaking them down the dry rot showed it's ugly head. Cracks were EVERYWHERE.

So, I learned a few things this weekend. A few of us volunteered to run an auto-x for the huge mopar weekend at (formerly known as) IRP. That in itself was worth paying admission for... watching a bunch of 4k+ lb hemi powered cars trying to turn was absolutely hilarious! But I took the Forte out for some fun laps, took about 10 runs or so. I was suprised. I was still running 32psi all around on my new Kumho Ecsta 4X's in a little larger than stock 225/45/17 on the stock 7" wheels.
The car was very nuetral out of the box. It would step the ass out quite easily. It was fairly responsive, had a ton of power down low (which you would expect out of that 2.4L) and the brakes were OK. Not a great feel on the brake pedal, but it still has the stock pads all around. Raleigh Boreen was out running different things, including Velma's Mini Cooper S convertible. His best run in the mini was a 45.5 on BFG Summer tires in the stock 205/45/17 size. My best run was a 45.2. I was the fastest FWD car out there this weekend.... in a bone stock Kia. What it really needs is better pads, about 3* of camber up front and some better tire/wheels. Dropping it about 2" wouldn't hurt either.... but man was it a ton of fun. I think this may be a potential contender in STF. -------------------- Founding Member of the Indiana Chapter of the Teeny Weeny Club for Secure Adult Males

QUOTE (sarge @ Sep 24 2012, 10:38 AM)  That's awesome!! Sometimes it's not just the car, but the driver. Way to go Porky2! If it had been anyone but Raleigh, I'd agree. That man has been autocrossing longer than I've been alive I think. He's probably forgotten more than I will ever know. He's not just good, he's REAL good. He took a few cars out on Sat and beat every car owner. One had been auto-x'ing his 1971 T/A 340 6-pack since 1976. -------------------- Founding Member of the Indiana Chapter of the Teeny Weeny Club for Secure Adult Males
