View Full Version : Great...another damn hobby...autoX.
mykrrrr 04-25-2004, 10:33 PM So I finished up the Detroit Region SCCA AutoX skool and I'm totally hooked. :banana:
It was so damn fun and my instructor was super good. I improved alot from the first run (38 or 39 seconds) to a best of 35.1 (only 0.2 off my instructor's time when he ran my car :D)
Granted we were running in the rain and it cleared up and dried almost completely giving me better times but a slight pressure change and smoother driving got my times way down.
The finish control people were laughing when I got good runs because I was going nuts in my car. :p
Now what can I spend more $$$ on for my car...coilovers??? R-compounds??? :rolleyes: Perhaps I'll just concentrate on driving for now.:p

Exactly. Spend the year on working on tuning the nut behind the wheel before you spend $$ on mods. :)

mykrrrr 04-26-2004, 08:46 AM I know. ;) I'm just kidding. I've got a decent starter suspension on my car right now (AGX/Eibach) and need to just be smooth and have fun. :D
The only changes I'll probably do are put on the Grp. N top mounts I've got in a box and then get a more autoX friendly alignment.

Didn't Custer say the same thing??? Look what happened to him. :lol:
Atleast for this year, I'll run what I've got and concentrate on driving. My instructor was surprised I could switch from "normal" braking to left foot braking in the middle of my run. :huh: It's just normal to me I guess. :p

Change your tyres to what the winners are using at the very least, no point messing about when you could be winning!

:D Tyres are everything. :D
mykrrrr 04-26-2004, 11:51 PM I'm not getting new tyres (John...I spell it correctly and I'm not even a Brit...just an anglophile :lol: ) since I've got new Yokohama AVS ES100s.
I was considering keeping my RS rims and putting some 215/45/16 Azenis on them but I really don't need 3 sets of rims/tyres (17" Rotas, 15" Raceline RL7s w/gravels & in the winter some snows, and a set of 16" RS rims)

hondaslayer 04-26-2004, 11:54 PM Yes you do! Just ask Joe! :lol:
I need more rims/tyres as well.
(Not a brit either,attended up to second grade in Scotland)
mykrrrr 04-26-2004, 11:56 PM Yeah...I'll just pick through Joe's rim selection if I want to try something different. :p
You should buy my rims Ben. I give you good deal. :lol:
You attended grade school in Scotland???...no wonder yer warped. :huh:
