Jid2 has one for sale in the Seattle region, unless he sold it already.

Mine is not for sale, but I could be convinced if the price is good. Muffler has been swapped to Corsa now.

I haven't contacted Toyo, but I should. Luckily I didn't go off in a bad area. Destroyed my front spoiler, but a lot better than going off turn 8 at 140mph (big willow)

No, there was no contact with the suspension. I'm not necessarily blaming in on the fact that the sidewall could have been under more stress than if it was on a 10.5, but the damage is indicative of being pinched. There was also a bend found on the inside of the rim, which wasn't there on mounting. I didn't hit anything, so I'm assuming the bend was caused from going off track as a result of my blowout.

I strongly suspect the issue is not related to running a 295 RR on a 10" wheel. Perhaps a defective tire or damage upon installation? I've never heard of a sidewall blow out being directly caused by an under supported rim, except perhaps in extreme instances.. Toyo themselves states a 10" wheel to be within the appropriate rim range for that tire. Myself and others have run 295's on 10s without issue for years, which is why I think yours failing in such a short amount of sessions is not related to running that size tire on that size of rim. What cold pressure were you running?

Really sucks that it happened and I'd understand why you'd be hesitant to use them again on these wheels, but I think it's an unfortunate and unlucky coincidence.

It was after lunch, so the pressures could have dropped too low when I went out. I don't remember my cold pressures, but that day was legit freezing. So it's quite possible that I went out on too low of a pressure and pushed the car too hard too quick

What muffler was on in this video?

kyippee · 02-19-2021, 07:29 AM

@Move Over it's a bomiz valvetronic muffler. Haven't posted it for sale yet

Well if anyone wants a spot for COTA with a garage on the cheap for Saturday and Sunday, let me know. It's too risky for me to try and take a trailer down from Dallas today.

I was wondering if you were really set on going or not. Roads are tough andd the gas/food situation down in Austin is also questionable, not worth the risk, good call

I have a group of friends scheduled to rent Cresson on Wednesday and I am on the list to go with them but still not even certain about that one...

Towing is already tricky and there's no f'ing way I'm risking it. And I'm not going through that whole hassle to just do Sunday. Really cheesed that they are not even doing refunds for the COTA-canceled Friday day. Sounds like MVP is just gonna pocket that...tempted to try and get a chargeback.

MSRC on Wednesday will be totally fine. It'll be above freezing for several consecutive days. Who is it? Any open spots? :-)

Member friend of mine is doing a rental I think there's 1-2 open spots I can PM you the contact info for the person hosting. I am not planning on it being particularly awesome track time though just fun with friends. There's going to be a very wide variety of skill-level drivers in the group.

My stuff is in the NASA database but for TT4 setup I have to do 100tw and min weight is 3610 (which I made by 1lb when I got on the scales at an event a couple weeks ago lol) My car is a heavier spec DCT car though and has mostly full interior.

Please do! I need to burn up my RRs before the NASA event. I will probably do Apex on that Saturday as well since I've never run it CW.

Gotcha, my car is also a heavy spec car but I am trying to get my weight down. Not sure what my car will dyno at either but I have the typical bolt ones with a tune. Intake, exhaust, catless, underdrive pulleys. I am fine with falling into TT3, I will be on Toyo RR tires

So do you guys ever cheat a little bit and dyno with a restrictor inside of your air filter or anything?

No just come to Colorado on a 95 degree afternoon for your dyno averaging.
