Looks great! Stupid question why is there duct tape on the wheel weight?

Thanks. Already finished. Just went for itThe rubber bump stops unscrew as I recall and a trim removal tool helps with the plastic clips and rivets all over the car. It yes the trunk liner has to be removed for the middle two.
Actually racing tape the guys who did my alignment and tires. They put it over the weights on track wheels and it’s really an autocross set. At the rate I’m going it may not get to an autocross until next month-the year is winding down fast and my weekends are busy.Looks great! Stupid question why is there duct tape on the wheel weight?
That was the car I drove last year, glad you had a good experience Rob!Attended the Track Attack yesterday with little time to spare before eligibility ends at the end of this month. It’s very basic and the instructors try to cram a lot into one day starting with people that have never even autocrossed. Myself and one other guy thankfully got put into the fastest group with an instructor and were able to push the cars harder than I anticipated, but I was still slowed way down by the instructor.
The staff is great and was very accommodating to my 75 year old father (he has spinal stenosis and uses a walker). They took him for some hot laps and he had a blast. I cannot say enough how great the staff is from a human perspective in giving my dad this memory. He’s ridden along on auto crosses, but never been on a road course with me.

Very sweet. RT660s benefit greatly from a full heat cycling. They get much stickier after they’ve been warmed and cooled a few times. They are a really good track tire, never used them for auto x.I attended my first autocross in a LONG time (15 years) with the car this past Sunday. I was off pace by 2 sec but considering how long it’s been I’m happy. It was below 50 degrees with brand new RT-660’s and they felt really loose. Hopefully next time they’ll grip better being warm and broken in, but my driving didn’t help matters. I’m going to attend an autocross driving school next month and try to get back into the groove.
