man, autocross rocks. By far, the most fun you can have in a car with the seats up

I ran a 105, a 101, and a 98. Of course I was around 15 seconds slower than the experienced guys, but hell, I figure I did pretty good considering I run nothing but a 3/4 inch lowering and slotted rotors, and also considering I've been racing for less than 6 months. Hopefully next time I'll get to ride with one of the top CRX guys, and I can get a feel for what a CRX feels like running down in the 85's. weeeeeee:thumbup:

 

I had my car at Lowe's Motor Speedway this weekend, ran the track yesterday, my list of things to upgrade just grew again

 

brakes?...hehehe...you up the power and increase traction to get the speed, the stock brakes can't keep up anymore

 

Actually, the brakes never went soft, I just didn't have time to switch over to performance pads, I was still running rotor-killers, so after the 4th good lap of running 100+ into turn one, they gassed and I had to overshoot and wait for clearance to re-enter the track.

Other than that, I definately need an oil cooler, the track was a 3rd and 4th gear track, but I was heating up the oil so much that I started hurting for oil pressure, so I was forced to run 4th and 5th and just torque around the track [which thankfully I have, the instructor even commented on how much torque it had for a honda].

And after those first two items, I really need to upgrade the suspension if I keep doing these events....

 

Well i did my first Scca ralley about 2 weeks ago IT WAS TOTALLY awesome I came in second in our class and 4th over all it was awesome i hope to do another one around the 28 of sept thats if i am not draging at the battle of the imports in dinwiddie VA.

 

i'm notoriously hard on brakes...so upgrading brakes are a higher priority for me
