Ahhh. The age old problem.  I liken this to bringing a wooden racquet from
the 50's to a modern day tennis tournament.  The bottom line is your
equipment is wrong for the sport you have chosen.  You can do a couple of
things:

- Buy some OEM wheels and run some OEM type street tires or R tires in ES.
(i.e. - upgrade your stuff)
- IF your car is Street Touring legal (I'm very grey on the 'sports car
based' qualifier), run there.  The PAX is softer than HS.  I would be
willing to bet that the Non-turbo DSM is legal for ST.  Then you could put
even more money into useless performance goodies!

I have a 95 eclipse GS non turbo.  I am supposed to be in E stock.  But
I have 17" after market rims that put me in CSP.  My question is, a GSX
can be had with 17" rims and the same width tire.  a 215.  These are
different trim levels, and different classes within SCCA.  Do they
correlate?  I am tired of getting my ass kicked in CSP when the only mod
I have is the rims...yet :-).  Oh, I am in Novice so I run against an
index.  A friend of mine went to an event sunday and I beat his time by
3 1/2s, but do to his classification in ES and mine in CSP he beat me.
BOOO CSP.
