next event

[Billy]

i was wonder if anybody was going to auto x next event. i think it is pretty stupid to have it on thanksgiving weekend. i expect a low turnout.

[rotodouche]

i may go.

[Acuracy]

I doubt i'll ever go since i'm just too fucking lazy to put my exhaust back on for one day...

[burny850]

i might be out, but not running

[STiDriven]

Dave was saying something about it not being till the 7th or something. Maybe they revised the schedule?

[pdexta]

I doubt i'll ever go since i'm just too fucking lazy to put my exhaust back on for one day...

Ya bum, it'll take like 10 min. I'll do it for you, haha. :tongue:

[Billy]

Nope it has always been the the 29th and 30th. retarded if you ask me.

[Acuracy]

Ya bum, it'll take like 10 min. I'll do it for you, haha. :tongue:

lol well probably more like 35 because of all the under chassis bracing I have to take off and put back on but still.

[Billy]

just do it man.

[Acuracy]

I will once I get my tires for the front, the shitty all seasons I have on there are terrible and it would be pointless for me to go until I get them... I shouldn't understeer like I do if I turn too hard lol. Once I get the other 2 azenis i'll put these ones up front(I still have nearly all the tread left) and put the new ones in the rear and then i'll go.

[rotodouche]

dude i was out on all seasons last time and was within 4 seconds of the leader in my class who was on r-comps in my last run. suck it up lol. just go and have some fun.

[Billy]

fo sho.

[Acuracy]

PM replied.

And yea you guys are right, I might as well go and see what happens.

[Billy]

just put the all seasons on the rear. you can drift around a bit.

[Acuracy]

just put the all seasons on the rear. you can drift around a bit.

I plan on doing that before I put the azenis on, have a little fun first :D

[Billy]

sweeeet

[Semi Jew]

i was hmistaken briton.

ill be there of course, but it'll probably be a doulbe or triple work event! LOL.

[Billy]

yeah that work schedule is fail fo sho.

remember to bring your car to my house dave so i can put my tires on.

[Casco]

im in

[Semi Jew]

free mounting service billy :)

ill be back in town late friday afternoon so ill be by then.

[poon]

I might be there, I didnt make it out to the last one due to halloween. :|

[liquidnyquiz]

PEOPLE, is fun! Must be there! I am down. Shooting for 36 secs flat this time. I have 4 tokens from last time, plus 2 at registration, I got 6 runs at the start of the day, lol. This time around I plan on attending Saturday and Sunday. I don't care about the points since the season is almost over. I just want to run the mile track! I can't wait. I am hipper.

Some people from Naples are coming. I am trying to get some people to go. GCAC just needs more people.

I'll be heading out at 7:00am. Anyone else driving from Naples?

[rotodouche]

^^your hyper bro, not hipper.^^ not trying to be a dick, but at first i thought it said 'hipster' and i was like uhh...what? lol just playing with you. i hope i have a car then =[.

[poon]

Hes way hip son...you dont even know.

[UltimateT]

90% sure ill be there

[pdexta]

I'm 68% sure that might be there if I don't oversleep or have something else to do. If I get my other Miata running then I'm 87% sure that I will definitely be there and I definitely won't oversleep or want to do something else instead. Of course all this is depending on my parents, b/c they're coming in town for thanksgiving and I think they were gonna leave on Saturday so that could change things depending on what time they want to leave, if they want to go to autocross, and how well we are getting along at the time. So I guess I'll just have to update you guys periodically on what the chances of me going are.

[Semi Jew]

68% sure eh? nice.

fmr has been fucking up on representing at autocross lately. people who are posting excluded of course.

[Acuracy]

lol where you gettin these numbers scott? And if you have the FI miata running for it then you ARE going out. Not going is not an option.

[pdexta]

lol where you gettin these numbers scott? And if you have the FI miata running for it then you ARE going out. Not going is not an option.

I made a decision tree w/ probabilities.

It was only 87% for the FI miata b/c of my concerns for how it's running, the tune, and gotta see what the parents are doing. But 87% is still pretty high. It seems kinda lame driving the stock miata out there, wasn't really that much fun last time. Probability will go up on that one if I get the swaybar from Kyle. :wave:

[Acuracy]

lmao @ decision tree!! Well... I call dibs on first ride in the FI NA when you get it running!

[Billy]

unfortunately only instructors can ride with or drive someone else, unless you get permission from the head guy dave hutter.

[liquidnyquiz]

Damn it. Friday the 28th I have to work 21 hours straight. 3am-5pm at Circuit City (Black Friday) and 6pm-12am at Ruby. Then wake up at 7am Saturday is going to be a biach, oh and then go directly to work after autocross till 12am, oh and then wake up again at 7am for Sunday's autocross, and then sleeping for a week. LOLZ

Not the best weekend for me, but I sure hell will be there at the autocross.

[UltimateT]

billy i want you to take a few runs with me after i do some warm up runs

[rotodouche]

the thing about that scott is...well...if i give you my roll bar and sways, then i cant drive...so how about you let me borrow your r comps and we put them on my car? SM2 ftw.

[pdexta]

the thing about that scott is...well...if i give you my roll bar and sways, then i cant drive...so how about you let me borrow your r comps and we put them on my car? SM2 ftw.

You can still drive, sway bars and rollbars are overrated anyway. I'll trade you the R-comps for the rollbar if you want. I promise that'll help your time way more than any sway or rollbar could.

[rotodouche]

i thought you couldnt drive a convertable without a rollbar? i dont want the r comps, ill still sell you the rollbar and sways.

[pdexta]

Na, no rollbar needed.

[rotodouche]

o, ok then.

[Billy]

billy i want you to take a few runs with me after i do some warm up runs
no problem man. what do you drive?

[joe99rs]

Im going

[UltimateT]

no problem man. what do you drive?

lol its me trevor with the black civic hatch

dummy

[Billy]

oh shit man whats up. its impossible to keep track of all these screen names.

[UltimateT]

lol its cool man

[Semi Jew]

fucking 33.101... maybe the header can give me that last .102 to run a 32.x on the sat course.

[Acuracy]

fucking 33.101... maybe the header can give me that last .102 to run a 32.x on the sat course.

I'm gonna laugh when you run slower :tongue:

[STiDriven]

My car won't be ready again. I fail. Maybe I'll take the yellow beetle 1.8t that I planned on driving last month.

[Billy]

yellow beetle? your so gay

[Semi Jew]

i might, the last three months it was 33.4 33.5 33.4, then 33.1 but i did do it three times. the cold weather must help a bit, that or the seat gave me 20hp.

[Billy]

you wont.

[STiDriven]

yellow beetle? your so gay

If you play your cards right I might let you be my passenger for run.

On my lap though.

[Billy]

mmmm, tempting.

[STiDriven]

Fuck it. I'm bringing the RS.

[liquidnyquiz]

YO, you mofa better be there tomorrow!!!!! Cuz the Alti is bring it all!!!

[03scgt]

the altima almost brought it all to the subaru Wednesday

[STiDriven]

Yeah. The little suby almost felt the full wrath of the alty.

[STiDriven]

How was the auto-x guys?

[Semi Jew]

i thought you were comin out bish.

same shit as last month, pretty much. 33.1 best on sat.

[STiDriven]

I told you, Saturday was a maybe. I'll be out tomorrow if I don't sleep in. I admit, I've been slacking lately.

[Billy]

I told you, Saturday was a maybe. I'll be out tomorrow if I don't sleep in. I admit, I've been slacking lately.
you lazy mofo.

[STiDriven]

...basically

[poon]

Haha used street tires on the last 2 runs. Shit was all over the place, so much more fun/less control than rcomps. Might order a set of z1/re01r's.

Any want a set of 225/50/15 RA1's?

[liquidnyquiz]

Yo bitches!!!!! Last month I started with 40's and ended the day with 36.8's. My aim for this month was 36.0. I did it, 36.0. I got 10 runs in. Basically when I ran that 36.0 I felt like I was going so slow. I guess smother is faster, sometimes, lol. Check it. Billy said to put 50 psi in my front tires, worked great. Just need atleast 2 new performance tires for the front, so I can get down to 35.0's. What should I get?

BTW, full list of the results are in the saturday thread.

[STiDriven]

The course was awesome today. I've been slacking lately when it comes to auto-x but today reminded me why I like is so much. I got into the rev limiter in 3rd and did a quick switch to 4th which means I was is in the 80mph range.

Ended up with a 69.7 I believe. I wish it didn't start sprinkling for my last run. Even though the track was wet I still manages a 71.XX so I think it was still dry I could have improved on my 69.7

[Billy]

yeah the course was awesome. i ran a 68.5. dave's car is win.

[STiDriven]

i ran a 68.5

Well fuck you!




:tongue:

[liquidnyquiz]

I was fucking up. I had 1 good run. I think I was in the high 77's. But I did not care much about the time for today (sunday). It was very fun. I wanted more runs, =). At the end it started pouring. It got so bad that you could only see like 100ft infront of you. I drove to Estero to get my work schedule, then home to Naples, and when I got home I was still wet. The rain plus the violent wind, it was like nedles. LOL. Anyways, thanks for being there guys, I felt better knowing people there. Here are some pics.Sorry Casco, I didnt get a chance to take a pic of your car.

[Semi Jew]

my car was doing well with billy, but i was fucking up something fierce today.

[Semi Jew]

god damn billy 9th in pax.

you did have a real good day today, even brent beat you by barely over a second.

[liquidnyquiz]

Man, there is an autocross going on in Orlando December 14. I wish I had the money for gas. I be there.

[Billy]

damn that is the best i have ever paxed.

[poon]

Thats awesome billy. Im still trying to get an sts car for next season.

[Billy]

search some autox forums i guess you can find sts prep cars for a very reasonable price.

[poon]

Im checking one out this weekend. Its a teal GSR:ugh2:

[Semi Jew]

noes, lol.

[Billy]

lol

[veloce23]

That track was too fun! I need to get my clutch replaced so I can attack starts that are open like yesterday's. Or I could have just done better in a few spots. I am happy to be feeling better about my driving. I knew that I could get a high 65 without a perfect run, but once I did it, I began to wonder what I might have done with a better setup (and better driving). I need to make up my mind, whether to set up my car right, or buy a preprepped sts car. Poon and I must be on the same page.

[STiDriven]

Why don't you just stick to STU? Are you getting the itch to mod the STi more or something?

And yeah, that course was sooo much fun. Did you get into 4th at any point? I was on the rev limiter in 3rd.

[Pappy]

i rev limitered 3rd a good few times, never enough to shift to fourth

[veloce23]

I was on the rev limiter twice. The first section was almost enough to shift to 4th, but I probably would have done so with a short shift. With a little better acceleration (more power) out of the second slolam, I could have done so easily, but I don't think the tires would have allowed 4th. It is a tough call, because I felt like I had things under control until the rev-limiter abruptly lightened up the rear. I was hitting the brakes way early at that first big pinch, so ideally, I don't think my brake point would have changed too much. I looked at the print out of the split times, and my best run was not the result of my best of side A and B. On my best, I was off of my best side A by 3 tenths, and I still screwed up the slolam a little on side B. But overall, it was my fastest, because I got the finish right, and I held better speed on the straight (at least for autocrossing) after the turn-around. I do wish I could have put it all together, but I am nit-picking.

[liquidnyquiz]

At one run, my car in the sport mode did it all in 1st gear, lol. Most of the course I was at 40 - 50 thousand rpms

*edit* lol whoops. But ya know what I ment.

[Sloww]

At one run, my car in the sport mode did it all in 1st gear, lol. Most of the course I was at 40 - 50 thousand rpms

damn 50 thousand rpms? i might check out autocross next week since i might finally have another job.

[STiDriven]

^^^ 50,000 RPM's huh. Must be a rotary under your hood. :D

John, you should drive my car sometime. If you had been driving my car I think you would have definitely needed to grab 4th. If my car is ready next month you can take it around the Saturday course and show me up. :tongue:

Of course by then I should have a lot more power than I do now so it'll be fun for ya. :thumbup:

[joe99rs]

Damn Britton your car looks clean it must have rained. haha

Johns STI is fun he gave me a ride on Saturday. When boost kicks in it felt like I was comming out of the seat.

Next time I auto-x I'll be in SM.

[Billy]

dude what happened to your car on saturday bro?

[STiDriven]

Damn Britton your car looks clean it must have rained. haha

Johns STI is fun he gave me a ride on Saturday. When boost kicks in it felt like I was comming out of the seat.

Next time I auto-x I'll be in SM.

lol, you need to take my car around once. SM huh? This intrigues me.

[joe99rs]

Ya I spun a rod bearing. I guess it was eating oil. I'm thinking its swap time.

[STiDriven]

that sux dude, but it doesnt suck at the same time. prime time for a swap, do it.

[joe99rs]

Help me out and let me know if anyone sees a totaled STi.

[poon]

Are you set on the 2.5?

[joe99rs]

I should make a new thread. I'm torn between ej257, or ej207. Or maybe even a USDM WRX motor.

[poon]

Woot, think I found the sts mobile for next season. :stickpoke:

[Semi Jew]

what it is?

[poon]

A 2000 civic coupe. Wont be as competitive as an integra or earlier civics, but it definitely will be a nicer car in general.

On sts ruling, are certain engine swaps allowed if they are of the same generation car?

[Billy]

i think you can swap an engine from the same model as long as both cars are sts legal. like i am doing with my gsr swap.

[poon]

You were saying 12:1 compression though werent you?

I think you are right on the swap though, maybe ill ask on scca forums or look over the rulebook.

[Semi Jew]

pretty sure you can put in a B16 so it's like an SI.

[Billy]

You were saying 12:1 compression though werent you?

I think you are right on the swap though, maybe ill ask on scca forums or look over the rulebook.
i found a tight motor and i am not opening it due to fundage. wanted to but decided not to.

[poon]

Good deal. My fresh set of z1's came in today, hopefully I can get an sts car before the season starts, cant wait to run with you guys.

[Billy]

it will be fun.

[pdexta]

The douchebag rule says "If you can't see it, it's legal." It's in the fine print. :tongue:
