I finally got the videos completely edited and good to go. I have higher quality versions, but I compressed them so they were fairly quick downloads for those with fast connections.
The blue 88 below is still in the garage all comfy... (seen here - we put it in the back of our third stall - hopefully there's enough room to do my work back there too ;))
So, until I get my car up and rollin, I'm havin fun in our chipped 87 325. I went ahead and slapped the tires that came with the blue car on to there, and called them my official "autocross rims". 8)
This was officially my second autocross ever. My first one was last year at the fairgrounds in my dad's M3. Just isn't teh same as the E30, the handling is very different.
I have two to choose from, one with music in teh background, and one without - take your pic:
(both videos have all three of my runs in them)
Video without Music
Video with Music (I chose the song I used since it fit almost perfect.)
(I suggest right clicking and "saving as" it works better ;))
It's nice being able to look over these videos, and learn from any mistakes I may have made. I think the major one I made was carry too much speed thru the slalom. I did do the slalom in second gear. I usually shifted into first around every corner, to get back to my power curve. My last run, I was just carrying too much speed for the car itself to handle. I can't wait to get the blue car goin, cause then I can go all out - with suspension and stuff.
The only mods to this car is the chip... The tires I'm running at those Toyo Spectrums you get at Les Schwab - 580 treadwear rating.
To help compare times, the fastest time of the day was around 23 seconds in a Boxster. Many of the normal fairly quick times were around 26-27.5. I don't remember, but Cale's last time was 26.something - it was a really nice run. That E30 M3 definately handles!! :twisted:
That autocross was more of just a fun day, the morning began with some practice for some driving skills, then the little autcross after lunch. This sunday will be the offical first autocross of the season. Lets see how I compare against my dad's E36 M3. :P (I should hopefully have videos up for that one too - props to my friend Brendan for bringing teh camera, and my friend Rob for recording my runs - they both took part too, and were glad I dragged them along. They'll be there Sunday as well. ;)
Any questions? Don't hesitate to ask.
PLEASE - let me know how I can improve my driving. That's basically why I posted these. My front tires were at around 40-42 psi and rear were around 37-38 psi. My dad told me later that I should have lowered the rears even more, since they are such hard tires. I'll play with this more this Sunday.
Enjoy! :D[/i]
