    a recent autox video





    it sucks that I'm so out of practice, didn't really get that many clean runs. plus the setup was super tight, I hate it when you spend most of the time in 1st gear and the 4.0 ltl of my ix isn't that much fun either.

    also ignore my 1-2 grind, sometimes a 275,000 mile tranny just doesn't like shifting. :p

      I know, but with a 90 degree turn right after the light there's no point. maybe if I go up north this summer..

        Lol true. Yeah, I'm not a big fan of how twisty that course was. Still looks like fun though!

          Yeah that course was way too tight. Last autox I went to was similar, it was painful watching cars try so hard.

            yeah, it's typical for this particular club. not my fave either, but it's good to have in your own backyard.

              btw the turning circle is where these accelerometer logs came from..


              I feel pretty good about being able to pull over 1g on cold R888s, blown konis and an understeering pig of a car. ;)

                  Sounds like the R888s give good audible feedback! I always hit the wipers myself when I have to get busy with the steering wheel. :razz:

                    part of that is having a non-airbag wheel with an airbag column and stalks. eventually I'll swap them out for non-airbag ones so I don't hit them..

                      I did that too, until I got the OMP wheel and the quick release which spaces it back. :D

                        Your M20 sounds sick! What rpm you shift at? Sounds pretty high

                            wiper switch always gets smacked when the steering is busy for me as well...

                              I wasn't sure if it would be a problem, I haven't really autox'd since I changed the steering wheel setup. I've got the stalks sitting in the parts car, just have to spend 10 minutes changing them out.
