SCCA Autocross: Winter Series Event #5

[Bishop]

RACE WILL BE ON SATURDAY, FEB. 13th! Day before Valentines day

Ok, similar deal to last time, except it's somewhere else.

Any information regarding autocross in the Rocky Mountain region can be found by talking to me, checking the website (rmsolo.org), or checking the SCCA direct website (SCCA.org).

There is plenty of helpful information at either of those sources, and if you'd like to come racing and then something happens day of the race and you cannot compete, chances are we won't feel sorry for you for not asking questions.

You MUST be: - registered before I think 10am the Thursday before the race weekend.
- Willing to let someone look your car over and make sure it's safe
- Willing to bring a proper helmet, borrow from someone, or rent one on site (limited quantities).
- Willing to take care of yourself and handle your responsibilities. If you wanna drive, expect to work.

There is much more, but I highly suggest anyone with questions go over the RMsolo page, SCCA page, or PM me.

What to expect to spend: At the bare minimum you'll be factoring in the entrance fee ($30 I think for World Arena), possibly the weekend membership fee ($15) or the annual fee ($45) if you've signed up, as well as gas getting to and from the Springs / World Arena. You CAN plan for things like a hotel room the night before so you don't have to drive in the morning, food, drink, possibly breaking parts, etc.

As it sits right now, we have a few people interested in splitting the cost of one room and stuffing people inside. The more people wanting to do this, the cheaper it can get. Right now we're figuring $100, prolly a little more, split however many ways for the people going. It's for a nice hotel (name is escaping me right now) which is literally a stones throw from the world arena parking lot, and didn't make me fear that my car was going to be broken into last time I stayed there. So think, 2 beds, 1 or 2 people per bed, plenty of floor space..... It's an idea.

That's it for now, let the discussion begin and questions arise, I'll do my best to help answer whatever I can.

[ZombiE30]

I didn't see a date....is that this upcoming weekend?

Also, may I presume that an ultra-beater that holds the driver's door closed with a deadbolt from Home Depot is not allowed to enter?

I'd probably leave my diff at the first turn anyway...........sigh

[Bishop]

Ah date, I knew I was going to forget something. I woke up from a quick nap and went to post that, I'll edit now. It's on the 13th, so day before Valentines day. Some of us are thinking of going down on the 12th. I'm not quite sure about your car, you can PM me pics if you want and we can talk more. Does sound sketch, but I'm willing to try and help if I can.

[Roland H]

I'm going to try!

[Bishop]

World Arena is a cool place, but I hope they've fixed up some parts of the lot since last time I was there. Let us know if you're gonna go morning of or you wanna try to go night before Roland.

Ok. Depending on the circumstances, I may go the night before. My uncle has a place in the springs. Not too sure though. :???:

[Bishop]

That would be nice, we're discussing on the CUSCC forum, stuffing like 5 people into a hotel room and splitting the cost lol.

[Bimmerman325i]

I'm 50/50. I'm going to try for sure!

HPR Lapping day sat anyone?

[iamsam]

still deciding whether to go or not, I would like to, and if i do, I will probably end up leaving here at 6am on the 13th and getting there at 9am or so.

[Bishop]

Make sure to give yourself some time to get there and check in and prep and whatever Sam..


David, I'm gonna email you. Want details :)

[iamsam]

I am hoping that the black E30 will be ready in time for Autocross #5. I am running into problems getting the car to pass inspection. (no horns. Like seriously, the horns were taken out and the wiring harness stripped out and bundled up. talk about a headache!)

[Bishop]

Ah yeah that sounds like a headache.

Buy some Hella Supertones and wire em in somewhere. I had em on the Subaru, loud and annoying, and would probably be fine for inspection......

[Bimmerman325i]

for whatever reason mine passed inspection without horns. Like yours, the harnesses are cut and tied, and my horn button (aftermarket steering wheel) literally can be pulled out of the car.

[Bishop]

Different inspections I'm thinking... Are you talking just normal inspection David? Sam's car has a salvage title, but it's fixed I think and he's getting it inspected by the state referee to get the salvage titled lifted I believe? He told me when we were going to the junkyard, but I don't remember specifically.

Oh. I don't know then.

[iamsam]

yeah you pretty much hit the nail on the head, Ben!

[iamsam]

just checked the weather, according to accuweather.com, its supposed to be cold and snowing in the Springs on the 13th, according to weather.com, its supposed to be partly cloudy and semi-warm on the 13th. go figure. I guess I'll have to check the weather again later on...

[ZombiE30]

accuweather?
I've never even heard of that......

I'm going to apply the beer-name principle here:

Anything that says how good (or accurate) it is in ITS OWN TITLE, is just the opposite (ie Milwaukee's Best=can of geriatric diarrhea, Bohemian Lager=hobo pee filtered through dead mosquitos)

Anything that just blurts out weird stuff or has an unassuming name, is usually the quality stuff (ie Skullsplitter Ale=delicious wee heavy, Weihenstephaner=yum)

So.....i'd go with weather.com, but then again, it's colorado; the weather is never right.

I lol'd
then I agreed. Since this is still technically the winter series, there's the ever looming chance that the event will be delayed or canceled... Most accurate guess would probably be to check it this Wed night.

[LEANE30]

so let me see if i heard this right,... $45 and i can autoX, granted "Guano" (my 91 318i) could pass an inspection?


...I was reading over the rules and maybe you could answer a few questions i have:

1) Guano currently has no CAT.... but is muffled, do i need to crawl under my car and bolt a CAT in, in order to participate? - i don't really care about classification, but if i'm stuck in a high class, i don't want to piss people off with how slow an m42 is.
2) i see no reference to non-structural, non-function-inhibiting body damage, the rear quarter got hit on xmas eve and all i've done so far is beat it *roughly* back out with a BFH, super glued the turn signal bulb back into the housing, then poured oil on the exposed metal to inhibit the rusting. (can you tell how much i care for this car? LOL) I know some racing organizations prohibit body damage, but didn't see any reference to it in hte rules.


...i really wish i hadn't spun a bearing on the euro :(

If I can get this 318 to qualify, I'm gonna have to dig out a helmet and hit it up!

[iamsam]

so let me see if i heard this right,... $45 and i can autoX, granted "Guano" (my 91 318i) could pass an inspection

if you are a SCCA member, $35, or if not, then $15 weekend membership + $35 so $50 total.

Your 318is should pass inspection as long as body parts aren't falling off, the battery is tied down, your engine runs, and all of your bushings and ball joints are present.

1) no problem whatsoever. Just make sure your car is under the noise limit, which it should be because it has a muffler.
2) body damage is fine as long as it doesn't impede the car's operation.

[Bishop]

35 to drive in Denver, 30 for the springs sam. Prices going up for summer I heard.

[Roland H]

35 to drive in Denver, 30 for the springs sam. Prices going up for summer I heard.

wtf? prices going up again?

I remember it used to be $30 to drive at DSGP... lame.

[Bimmerman325i]

wtf? prices going up again?

I remember it used to be $30 to drive at DSGP... lame.

Hell, I remember $35 was all it cost to race at Coors. $35 for Dick's is a rip.

[Bishop]

I don't have any solid info about the prices. When I registered in Denver the other day I thought I heard someone say the prices weren't changing till summer.

[iamsam]

registered!

[Bishop]

I won't be there!

[iamsam]

I won't be there!

why???

[Bishop]

Eh, some rather unavoidable things came up... Things I knew were going to happen sooner or later... Sooner happened than later. I'm not trying to be a secretive dick or anything, just can't really / don't really wanna talk about it. I might ignore the winter series, get my cards in order, and aim to do a full season of summer racing.

[machined]

GL dude!

[Bishop]

Thanks

[ZombiE30]

well, good luck and hopefully you can still make the GTG at the end of the month.

Just let us know if you need some obstacles.....*ahem*.....removed

[Bishop]

GTG prolly, CUSCC this friday prolly

[ZombiE30]

is that this friday? where/when?
I am not good at keeping up with this crap.

[Bishop]

Me either, I got reminded by someone from that forum. Friday night in Boulder, 6:30 at the 29th st. mall, in the underground garage.

[ZombiE30]

Anyone else here going?
Hyper----Want me to bring the valence and fogs this time?
Stoliver-----Gonna have your rotors off?
Zombie-----gonna drive a not-POS? (NO!)

[Bishop]

We need more e30s at the CUSCC meet. Its usually a bunch of subarus, a few M cars, and that's about it.

[blefevre]

If it is this Friday I will be heading to Utah for the weekend. I still plan on making the GTG though.

[Bimmerman325i]

I will be at the CUSCC meet, not going to the autocross. Debating which car to bring, both are still pretty and shiny.

[iamsam]

i'll TRY to be at the meet, but my E30 just this morning decided to develop a new and very bad problem, it really hard to explain what its doing, but its running like shit, and I barely made it back home.

[Bishop]

Fuel pump

[iamsam]

Fuel pump

ha ha! i didn't even explain what it was doing!

well let me tell you the symptoms:

fine when cold, ran normal, then it warmed up, then what i noticed was that while coasting in gear, there was WAY more resistance than usual which slowed the car more, then i had to push the gas down twice as much to get it going, BUT, if i floored it, it would accelerate fine, and when at an idle it idles super super low and choppy, and stalled once. Also, while crusing, the mpg gauge never went above 10. To cruise at constant speed, even down a hill, the gas pedal needed to be pushed considerably more.

[blefevre]

Fuel system or ignition system is a great starting point. The part that gets me confused is you say there is a lot more resistance when coasting. Do you smell any burning brakes? Possible stuck e-brake?

[Bishop]

Yeah I was gonna honestly stick with my psychic diagnosis lol, till you mentioned some really off the wall shit. I'd suggest looking through the fuel system or electrical like Peter (correct? I dunno) said. I'm gonna do some sleuthing and post back

[iamsam]

this problem is definitely all off-the-wall shit. As far as "resistance", i am speaking of the engine braking that occurs when you coast in gear, and the engine slows the car naturally. In my case, the engine seems to slow the car twice as hard, and yet, when in neutral, the car coasts fine, so no brake issues. its definitely and engine issue, because of the low and horrible idle, the lack of power, the need to push the gas way farther to get the car to respond, etc. it seems electrical.

[ZombiE30]

Okay, not sure what order of likelihood this would be, but these are what I would check first:

AFM
Intake leaks
Ignition stuff (ie one of the cylinders missing would cause very similar symptoms)
-pull the spark plugs and note any difference in wear between them.
-pull off dizzy cap and look for uneven wear, burning, cracking etc
-ohm out the ignition wires

Also Fuel pump, filter or FPR could cause similar things.

Good luck!

[iamsam]

thanks!

just drove the car tonight. Absolutely perfect. nothing wrong. it totally annoying. I hope it stays this way, because it would suck if my car decided to be retarded as soon as I get down to autocross.

[Bishop]

Yeah that would suck.... Cars are like girls man... Just when you think you have em running happy and smooth, they get all shaky and freak out about something small that you have no clue what it is... Then they're fine.

On another note, it's stupid to hear / say, but cars have ghosts in em.. gremlins if you will.... Both my subarus would run like a champ, then have a weird hiccup I couldn't track down or explain. I was driving my girlfriends 07 VW a couple months ago, running fine driving in Fort Collins, then no joke the car just dies. No hiccup in the electronics when it happened, music didn't skip or anything. I was driving, then had no throttle, no ABS / power brakes or power steering. Managed to pull off the road safely, killed it and started it again, car ran fine.

[iamsam]

ha ha good analogy!

yeah I am hoping it was just a stupid electrical connection that wiggled itself back into place, or a gummed up AFM or something like that with the cold...

[325ix]

Wierd I was gonna say a missfire but I don't know if that would be that extreme, or water in the system somewere

[iamsam]

Wierd I was gonna say a missfire but I don't know if that would be that extreme, or water in the system somewere

the problem definitely seemed electrical.

[325ix]

the problem definitely seemed electrical.
I read on pelican when your steam cleaning if water gets in the coil I believe it was it has to dry out and until it does so it can cuase wierd driving effects

[Bimmerman325i]

where'd steam cleaning come from?

[clarkkey594]

The event was fun. Diego, Robin and myself went down and met up with some other guys. It was pretty fun and started snowing just after the last run of the last heat. lol. Ohh and Robin took 2nd in her class.

[iamsam]

dang!! good thing I didn't go, she would have kicked my ass!!

[325ix]

where'd steam cleaning come from?
oh i was kinda just talking about whatever came into my head.

[Roland H]

So back on topic...

My best time of the day was a 52.466 in fun-runs, Mayfield drove my car and put down a 47.xxx +6 LOL. Just goes to show me how much more I have to go with my driver's education...:(

The event was great, it was good to see those of you that showed, and while I understand that some of you guys couldn't make it due to more important things going on, you really missed out. World Arena is still a really fun site (albeit a bit dirty this time). I really wish I could have ran it when it was still full sized.

Dude, nice going! +5 from Mayfield's not bad at all.

You're coming down for the timing belt shenanigans and the meet, ya? Come bowl with us after!

[Roland H]

Dude, nice going! +5 from Mayfield's not bad at all.

He coned (clipped them barely) 6 times that run though. Still could have had a 47, but he was in EVO mode, and when you don't have AWD to power out of shit, you clip shit. He probably could have made the car do a 46 if he had time to set it up a bit better.

It's possible... no promises yet though.:wink:

I'm still adjusting from autocrossing and driving my scoob in anger. Thing had no power, but AWD helps a stupid amount when it comes to fast driving in that car.....thing just grips and goes. Driving the E30 and M3 all require completely different styles, and I still have by far the most seat time in the scoobaru.

It's possible... no promises yet though.:wink:

Psh, you know you'll be down next weekend, and the next, and the next, and the.......:wink:

[Bishop]

After that first event I'm itching to race again, I learned an incredible amount about the car.

[Bimmerman325i]

I just need to learn to drive. Even in its current state my car could probably have done 42s or 43s if I was competent.

Yeah, it's an addiction, which thankfully has no cure.

My car could have done 38s in the hands of the right driver. :(

[Bishop]

It's all good. Seat time is THE most valuable investment you can make... It was apparent in the STi (but I didn't care, that car was STUPID fun to drive. 4 wheel drifts at full boost around big sweepers sure got some pats on the back in the grid area lol...) and even more apparent in the BMW. So... I might leave my parts buying shit as is for quite some time, just get the ATE fluid and SS lines installed (first parts ordered for the car, last to go on lol...).

I wanna slap what I have on, do some maintenance to keep it on the road, and buy up more guns.

(David, I have a boner for an R700 now that I shot your dad's gun :) )

That thing's a fun gun, that's for sure! I'm not super happy with my 30-06, it's a pain in the ass to change mags. I dunno what model that one is though.

Seat time's most of the reason I'm fast in my Scoob and stupid slow in the E30. I think I might bring it to the next autocross actually, it'd be fun to race sts again.

[Bishop]

Looks like you can get a new R700 for like $500-$700? .308 caliber, different from you guys'.

Bring the Suby, after it's shiny ;)

Damn, really? That's not too bad of a price. .308's essentially the same as a 30-06 for what you'd use it for, even though they aren't interchangeable. Makes the same nice boom.

I really want an M14. Like I need one. And an AR. And.......waffleswaffleswaffleswaffles.

Shiny Suby or Timing Belt though, that is the question!

[Bimmerman325i]

Yeah, seat time is ftw. Too bad I like modding my car a lot too. :???:

My E30 spent most of 2008 on jackstands. I think I got to three or four autocrosses with it. Damn ex gf taking up valuable car fixing monies and time.


Eh, just run the M3 in STU. :cool:

Ha. With my luck it'll pick the day before to need to go back to Cal again. waffleswaffleswaffleswafflesing e36. Day before the Gymkhana I had to make a frantic dash to ASW with that thing. E30s are soooooo much more reliable!

[Bishop]

Both, you know I'm happy to help you out ;)

and yeah, I figured .308 was similar, hopefully cheap too. I'd buy that gun for probably 200+ yard target shooting.

I wanna go back and blast my .22 some more lol too...

O RRY

I've shot a lot of .308 and 30-06, and honestly can't tell a difference at 200 yd. It's not cheap though......

We should go blast more. I just need the next two weeks to end, then sure.

[Bishop]

Yeah I hear ya. I need to do a little catch up and what not. I can find the time whenever you wanna go though. Or lefthand. Lefthand is always fun.

I'm gonna do some lookin into .308 and something like an R700

[Roland H]

If I was in town, I'd work on the E36 for chipotle and beer.... next year maybe. Probably won't be returning to UW as I'm bored as hell up here.

But E30s are not as easy to work on. The E36 is much more serviceable, and I like the fact that they have timing chains. :wink:

[Bimmerman325i]

same. I learned.

Ha I'm not surprised, you come down so often it's like you're here anyway, might as well come down to CU and stay. :pimp:

Blasphemy!

.....Though the SS rear lines in an E30 are a major bitch. The ex wasn't super wild about watching me lie under the car in the gravel at 1130 spraying brake cleaner all over the underside of the damn car. I think my hair got dyed blue from that debacle. Car stayed on stands for a few more months, I think her nefarious "keep david away from the damn car" idea worked.

I do like how E30s don't have structural failures nor water pump issues though. :wink:

[Roland H]

Ha I'm not surprised, you come down so often it's like you're here anyway, might as well come down to CU and stay. :pimp:

Applying tomorrow. Know any professors that you can convince to put in a good word for me?

Touche...

Just doing suspension on an E30 is longer/more difficult since everything on the front runs through the strut, and the stock rear springs don't like to come out.

[Bimmerman325i]

Probably, in Mechanical? I could get you some emails of good profs to get in contact with.

Hm. All I've done on an E30 is brakes and minor maintenance. Haven't messed with its suspension yet.

[Bishop]

I had no issues slapping on my coilovers... Biggest problem was finding the right side socket to reassemble my hubs. My rear springs came out no big deal :)

[Roland H]

I would really appreciate that. Seriously.

Hm. All I've done on an E30 is brakes and minor maintenance. Haven't messed with its suspension yet.

E36 is much easier. I can do a spring/shock swap on an e36 by only removing one bolt (lower shock) and two nuts (rsm). Don't even have to remove the wheel.

Had to lower brad's diff, exhaust, unclip the sway, and much more just to get the stock rear springs out. :banghead:

[Roland H]

Weird, I had to use screwdrivers as levers to get brad's over the perch things.

[Bishop]

Nah, like I said, biggest obstacle was finding the socket to assemble the front hubs. Everything else was cake.

[Bimmerman325i]

I would really appreciate that. Seriously.
