Is the autocross at the old Boundary Bay airport? The pavement there really eats up the tires after a few runs. Guess it's designed to stop aircraft in a hurry, but not very good for the car's rubber.

Ok, I'v been out of the "car scene" for a few years here, and there's something that has me confused.
Has the term "coilover" become generic, describing anything with a coil spring? Or is it simply mis-used a lot now?
the reason I ask is, I've heard a bunch of people talk about putting "coilovers" on their cars, yet when I look at them, the coil isn't over anything.
On the front it's over the strut... fine. On the back it's not over the shock, so why the heck are people calling them coilovers???

But Boundary Bay was fun - even in the 69 HP Renault, it was possible to hit 145 km/h in some of the longer slalom courses. Top end was 165 BTW. Beats the hell out of B Lot at UBC...
Trivia: I was spectating at a slalom at BB in 1980 when Mt. St. Helens blew up early Sunday morning. Man was that a loud boom (200 miles away too)!

and I don't remember exactly what tire pressures he ran, but about 40lbs on street tires, and 36lbs on his 032R.
