i will be attending my first autoxing event soon and i have 2 questions
1st what psi are u guys running on ur azenis, i have heard that they should be higher to combat sidewall rollover? 2nd any suggestions for my 1st time autoxing.

 

38 psi to start, there's some links in the forum FAQ.

 

A couple links http://www.redlinerennsport.ho....html

Personally, I run 43 to 45 psi in the front and 38 to 40 in the rear w/my Azenis. i hear alot of guys lately talking about using lower pressure (38 and lower). So I wouldn't swear to anything except that you have to try different psi to see what works. Try and get some tire chalk, mark your sidewalls in three or four spots, to see if you need more psi or if you could reduce some.

Try to ride-a-long with some veteran drivers if they'll let you. Also, try and get someone to ride w/you a couple times. Most importantly, have a good time and try not to be so nervous. The adrenaline will be pumping hard, I'm telling you!!

 

I run 41f/29r on my Azenis. My ES100s are slightly different at 43f/31r.

Start out at what RJ said, and go from there.

 

Make sure your rear tire pressure is higher in the rear. This helps with understeer by decreasing the rear contact patch size. good luck

 

32 front, 35 rear for me.

My car is not stock, and all your negative camber are belong to me...

 

I run 28 in the front. You loose feeling but they are very grippy and don't roll over (on a GSR). Its personal preference.

 

could u explain what the tire chalk does? meaning how can u tell if u need more air or take some out?

chalk across the very edge of the trad to the sidewall. this will tell you if the tire is rolling over on its sidewall (chalk will be scrubbed off).

 

Jeddy... come find the kid in the white Civic. (Nate or Solo-x here) or the kid with the Silver WRX Wagon (Me) when you show up. There's may helpful people, and don't be afraid, if it's your 1st time... ask for an instructor before you run.

Are you going to an NER event or NESCC event?

 

i run 28psi in the front and 32psi in the rear. i also have a suspension that effectively limits body roll.

never had a problem with roll-over at that pressure

 

i am goin to fort devens on october 11th thats in ayer, MA is that where u guys will be. I dnt know what event it is im new to this so i dnt know what NER means.

 

NER - New England SCCA http://www.ner.org
NESCC - New England Sports Car Club (A subchapter of NER) http://www.nescc.org

The 11th event is NESCC. See ya there!
