Hello all,
It's been a long time since I've posted here (so long in fact all my posts disappeared, haha). I used to run a blue civic sedan with a b16 swap back in 2004, and haven't autocrossed since that car got totalled by someone else's carelessness. Enough rambling, I am trying to figure out what class I will be in once I get my car back into shape.
Specs on the vehicle:
2006 Scion tC
Power Mods:
TRD Supercharger w/ 65mm pulley, header, exhaust, s-pipe (all 2.5 in inner diameter piping)
Suspension mods:
Tein s-tech springs on tokico shocks, 17x7 xxr wheels with Fuzion ZRI tires.
I'm thinking SM but I could be way off. Just trying to get a handle on who I'll be running against. Thanks!

I am thinking SM as well, as long as your interior isn't too altered. I am sure Martin or someone will know for sure though.

No interior alterations at all. Completely stock interior. I should've mentioned that.

Yup, looks like SM (or EMod!).

agreed.. SM is the right fit. Sweet!! SM could get interesting soon!! I bet with some decent tires a Supercharged Scion would be a hoot!! (extra wheels and used r comps FTW)

I'm already trying to track down a set of 225/40/17 v710's or r888's to throw on my stock wheels. :)

I wonder how I'll do against the 2 Evos in SM? Probably not well on street tires. We shall see soon, haha.
Thanks for the quick responses!

2 Evos? In our region? The black one that ran with us last weekend probably won't be a regular. They drove up from TN to run with us. Plus he was in STU, right? The only reason I was in my Evo was because it was forcast to rain ALL day. I'll be driving the kart when the weather is nice. Oh yea, Chris Mann will no longer be allowed to co-drive my car. Only fun runs for Chris from now on. LOL

I just looked at the April results and saw 2 people in an Evo in SM, didn't even think that it could be two people co-driving your car...

I have some hankooks ventus Z214's for sale they are 245/40/17. they are also mounted on some 5zigen fn01r-c wheels. 5x100 8" width et35. The tires are the C71 autocross compound. I have only used them for one event since i purchased the kart. they have been wrapped in tire totes all winter in a climate controlled garage. let me know if you are interested. they could be dismounted if you don't want the wheels. quick google search reveals that's the proper bolt pattern... hmmm stop over for a test fit :wink:

I'm replacing all the bearings in my supercharger so my car isn't mobile until probably Sunday. I'm not sure I can get an 8" wide wheel w/ a 35 offset and 245's on my car without major rubbing issues. But I'd love to stop by for a test fit. Any idea what kind of money you'd want for wheels and tires? Please pm me your contact info as well.
