that rsx in front of me straight boogied. there was also another one that was there boosted on cobra svt wheels.

 

what exhaust does your car have? my buddy has the specII and that is an unbarable noise.

 

Squad up!

 

 

mine is basically a homemade spec2. it is 2.5 with a 18 inch resonator and it has a tip off of like a mercury marauder.

i thought it would be alot worse than what it is. from 2500 to 3000rpm it has this loud baffling then it goes away. ive drove it round trip 7-8hrs in the past month and havent had any complaints.

on track it is loud but with a helmet on it isnt that bad. i know at full song it screams. even without vtec this weekend my buddy said this family was plugging their ears as i went by. lol.

 

I'm sooooo making one for my hatch.

 

thats gankstar

 

Word.

 

i had the spoon n1 and got over it real fast. driving long distance with that constant buzz in your head got old for me.

 

the timing of this question is almost perfect. here is a vid from last weekend. im not full song. not even probably 3k. i just had someone spin 10 feet infront of me so i was chilling expecting the track to go full black flag. but you will get the idea.

nasty

 

Your car sounds good. Im running a rsr exmag.

 

Hell yeah i know exacly what you mean. Thats why i went back to OEM instead lol nice and quiet.

 

thanks guys. good thing having buddies look out for you. lol. most of the pics from wmhm i have my buddies have found. lol.

 

<-oem ftw. Wait...mine rusted and fell off...fml.

But Im motor swapping currently so Ill have an actual exhaust soon

 

Thats a fresh pic Egezzy. looking tough!

 

Nah...now it is a fresh "dentless" picture.

 

Even better

 

 

lol. took the "race" out of the car. lol.

 

Nah...just the footprint.

 

I look forward to when I can take my car on the track. Ive only done 1 auto-x event and I'm hooked. I like it a lot more than pushing it on the back roads (plus its 1000x than drag racing). **** showed me a lot of changes I need to make to my car in just one event, and I thought I could just show up and bully the competition. lol.

 

bingo. last year my first event(track) i got signed off. my instructor goes.."ok now you will notice the way the car changes with weight transfer etc.." im thinking to myself..yeah right i have pushed in the twisties with or without passengers and never noticed a difference.

uhh yeah first out lap. pit out was end of 2. go into 3 slow just to make sure the brakes are there. lay into it going to 5. 5 and 6 is basically a double apex left. i come out of six sideways.

unless you have done it you dont get it. everyone is like i push my car on the back roads. i push my bike hard on the back roads. i tell them all "you havent pushed **** until you get on track." and as bad as it sounds you arent hitting the tip of the iceberg yet in autox. a long course you might find 50mph..on track you are seeing 85+mph at every track. t1 at putnam scared the dogshit out of me this year. going into it at 110+ wild. next year hopefully ill have more motor and i should be going in ~115-120mph but ill have better brakes too. lol.

and to be honest after last years wmhm i hardly even speed. hell sometimes i drive below the speed limit on the interstates. just not as fun anymore. lol. risk doesnt warrant a reward.

 

Unless some old geezer with a corvette or mustang is setting up the solo course like my last two events. I was in the mid 60's on some parts at both in my car.

Brad speaks the truth though. I remember my first track day. It was amazing at how much you don't know your car until you've had it out at it's limits on the track. The drive home felt like I was going 20mph.

 

I can see that already. The thing I look forward to the most is getting my skills up and dialing my car into my driving style and staying consistent with driving practices. There is only so much a car can do without a good driver behind the seat, and on the flip side an average car with a really good driver can do amazing things (id prefer to be the latter). But with auto-xing I've come to realize some of the things I need to pay attention to when understanding the personality of the car as it enters/exits turns and etc. Its one thing to experience brake fade on a straight away as you decelerate from high speeds when street racing and its another when entering a turn at half the speed. And I one thing I can attest to is, as Gabe previously mentioned, that tires are of the utmost importance. My car felt like it had too much body roll (DX, no sways), and the *** end of my car wanted to slide a lil more than usual (shitty alignment job). I have a lot of various things to do to my car as it stands now with just usage on the street, in terms of things to add for auto-x/road racing I'm sure I have a hell of a lot more to do.
