my girlfriend and i were talking and she agrue that no one drive there dd on autocross. and i'm just wondering how many people do use there dd?

 

I daily drove the car that I autoxed.

many people do,

in fact most of the classes are designed for cars that are daily driven.

however that being said, you should have another reliable means of transportation if you are going to be beating up a car at the auto-x

 

i daily drive my street mod car as well as most everyone else in my class. and i dont have another means of transpotation, i just dont seem to break anything.

 

i'm winning the agurement yea for once. too bad she wont' let me autox our neon or my dd civic. i'm jsut going to have to wait till i have the motor to build my parts/furture project. 90 civic std. o it's going to be SWEEEEET!!!!!. once i have to money which hopefully be soon. fist i have to swap motors and rebuild my first end on my dd so i wont crash jsut driving down the road.

 

Every car that I have owned has been concurrently autocrossed and driven daily.

 

take your girl to an a-x? she'll see that it's not a big deal at all.

also, tell her "don't boss me woman!"

 

maybe you should autocross it stock first before you dump mods into it and go into a class you don't want to be in

i did some mods and now i regret it

 

A motor swap will kill you in auto-x

you will be totally outgunned.


but in the stock or the ST classes you at least stand a chance

 

DD and AutoX here. Majority of the people in my region do the same.

 

I autocross my dd. I think a lot of people in my region do too.

LOL

Just take her to an auto-x so she can see what it's about. Talk to other people in stock classes and STS and ask them if they auto-x their DD. You'll be surprised just how many do.

 

i only have 1 car, the civic...drive about an hour to the race, race it, then drive about another hour home

 

well i think the results speak for themselves.

Autox doesn't really beat on the car at all. I took my car to the drag strip once, and that was definitely worse, my clutch took a beating.

 

My autocross car is my backup if my DD breaks. I drive it to and from events. The suspension is too hard and it's too low for DD use. It's nice to have a 2nd car, I think I have in the whole car about the same as a set of Hoosiers for the Z costs

 

when you only have 1 car, theres no choice. i drive my dd at auto x but i'm trying to get another car for dd and one for autox/track

 

i've never been to an auto x myself so i prob should check it out.

I agree that auto-x isn't all that hard on a car really. I saw a bone-stock '90 Accord DX sedan autocrossing last weekend... that's the beauty of auto-x, you can do it in anything with very few repercussions

 

I've used my daily and my race toy, my race toy was my daily.

So I use both. I rarely autoX anymore though.

 

i dialy drive my car.... but my suspension setup aint really for a DD LOL

u should take the neon... those things are pretty fun in stock form

 

my neon is auto and it is ******* slow as hell and plus she wont do it i know she won't. i wish. it doesn't even have 30,000 on it.

 

I auto-xed (and tracked)
my dd for a couple of years,
then bought an 89 Si as an
x-tra car (to auto-x) but since
my wife's car got totalled, she drives
the "other" dd/race car everyday!
u can do it too!!

 

there's another question i have for you guys.

Doesn't matter if it's auto or not. Any car is good to just get out there & learn how to drive. Hell, I've even autocrossed my taurus for fun (& the sad part was that my times actually beat some people )

 

You can use pretty much anything to start out with, **** the first car I used was an auto and it wasnt bad. I used to use my daily for autox, but I started going out to the road course more often, so I put together a seperate track/autox car. Its always nice to have a DD if you can afford it, but you shouldnt have a problem using it for autox.
