An auto-x virgin no more

[Hallen]

Son, I told to not smoke that crack. Now you are lost :D
All you will do is live for your next hit.

Congrats, looked like a fun day, well, except for the snow.

This is the way these cars were meant to be driven and you just can't do that on the open road.

This is what it looked like over on the wet side this morning.

Ya, we have a winter storm advisory goin on right now in spokane. Looks awesome Josh, I'd keep the car as is also, get the driving part down first.

[E-rich]

Whaaaa? I don't have that much, way less than most of the cars out there.

Nando, I'm definitely sticking with it. I might actually start building my car more toward auto-x duty. I think I'm addicted, I had a blast.

thats what i like to hear..another e30 geared towards what it best for..track duty!! looks good man. what tires do you have?

[Dave]

:up:

Looks like you had fun.

[E30SPDFRK]

I cant wait to get my car done so I can start doing some of these.

Bridgestone Potenza S03 PP's. They're really great tires, but it was damn cold today, so they didn't perform to their fullest. The fun runs toward the end of the day saw them doing a lot better, as it got a lot warmer.

My car has always been built for road performance and handling, more so than power and speed (obviously, it's an eta). But like nando said, I'll go through this season with the car as it is, probably just doing a few more things like sways and what not.

Here's another pic that one of the guys got of me in the staging area, I think I was next up.

That cone looks like they poured the concrete around it. Talk about not having to chase after cones when you're working.

[Jand3rson]

Ha ha, yeah. It's just a little white cone with spray paint around it.

YEA for Josh, we have another addict. I knew you would come around. I am glad you had fun. PS. it get very expensive depending on how deep into it you get. But its worth it.

ha, i know that guy with the legacy/sti swap. did you talk to him at all? his name is matt, hes a cool fellow.

car looks good out there, still a lot of lean. but good non the less.

Just a little, not much about the car. He was doing tech, really cool guy. I didn't know it was swapped until about halfway through the day. I was wondering why that thing was so effing fast.

Sways are my next suspension mod, those should help with the lean quite a bit.

I was thinkin the same thing - his car doesn't have near the amount of body roll my car does. I've been running with stock sways for years with Konis and IE3s. I say stick with how it is too - you really don't need more. you've done one autocross - you have much more practice to gain before you need to worry about mods. ;)

If you think autocrossing is fun....go drive on a track. Autocrossing is just...meh to me now. Track driving is SO MUCH MORE FUN! Not to mention I seemed to get faster in autocrossing after some HPDE's. Even still, I'm never going to mod my car around autocross regulations or anything like that - I make it how I like and drive it for fun.

Looks like some nice tarmac.

As others have said before, it's good to see the car being used properly. Autox and track events are a ton of fun.
