Project S2000 Part 7 – Cold (For SoCal) Weather Fun

,

Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 front and rear tires with two track days, 35 auto-x runs, and 14k miles.  Front tread depth: 4.2mm outside, 4.8mm middle, 2.3mm inside.  I’m running a little bit of toe out on the front which accounts for the inside wear.  Rear tread depth: 3.6mm outside, 3.7middle, 3.0 inside.  Even with -2.8 deg of camber, there’s pretty even wear across the tire.  Looks like it’s time for a rotation; this will be only the second rotation since I’ve mounted them.  I’m extremely pleased with the wear of these tires as I should be able to get about 20k miles out of them.

After this latest round of track testing, the need for an oil cooler is clearly evident.  It’s time to get off my ass and do it.  I will be doing a custom setup different than what most people would do, so stay tuned.   I’m going to make a slight change to the suspension too with the goal of reducing some of the looseness.
