Thanks for all the responses. That was very informative.
Your right about the tires. The previous owner put super hard compound long
lasting tires on it. Yesterday I picked up 4 more rims like what came on my
car, and had performance tires mounted on them. I will use them for
Autocross mostly. I went with factory rims because I want to stay in the
stock class, and because those rims are easy to find and inexpensive.
As for magazines I just got my first issue of Grassroots Motorsports and I
am very impressed. I already have my subscription card filled out and will
drop it in the mail today. This is my only car mag.
The SHO had to catch a ride with a tow truck yesterday. Popular opinion is
that the starter died.
