have your read the FAQ? they are called "frequently asked questions" for a reason.

 

sounds like your in street modified (SM)

my suggestion would be to drive you car and have fun.

 

of course i read the FAQ (otherwise i would have more than 2 questions??)..............however i was still a bit confused as to what my class is.......thx for the replies

 

Street Mod

 

why do u nede to cut magnetics for your first time?

why not painters tape... and just drive..have fun and get owned in SM lol

 

well i planned on using the magnetic ones for every other time i go to auto-x? or hpde? since i couldn't get the printer working for last minute print outs i decided to just go and use the painters tape method... anyways SM turned out to be fun with about 5 civics, a teg and a MONSTER evo 8. took third in class after a civic and the evo......good times, I really enjoyed my first time out.

i wish the autox SM class was as nice in fort worth my slightly modded civic endend up in SM cause of slooted rotors and im going up against a fully tuned $50K wrx sti

 

the slotted rotors dont do **** take them off and run a lower class.

 

i just need to do more to my car cause i like running street mod cause my buddy with his 2000 camaro ss is in it cause of sub frame connectors. and he talks a lot of sh*t and i kick his *** every time

 

My bone stock civic hatch is sts just cause of my coilovers, and i get my *** handed to me every time but i 6th of 24 novices and my pax time wasnt all too bad last time i ran, and i had a blast which is the important thing. read the scca rulebook, its available for adobe acrobat at the SCCA's homepage. Thatll tell you everything you need to know.

PS: put more air in your tires. 32psi aint helpin your times

 

i have hard time believing the ss is losing... either a bad driver or shity tires...

camaros SSs are badass cars with r compounds

then your car isnt stock

 

Beating cars of more value or higher horsepower in autox (or any venue) is always rewarding

I ran 42psi front and 32 psi rear during the autox but didn't chalk the tires.....next time.

Also seems like RWD can be a real handful on the autox course unless your setup for autox (which is probably useless for everything else)

Say what? How so?
I've AXed both, and I'm not going back to FWD anytime soon.

This is true. I just meant motorwise, and i run on lame all seasons, 175 65 14's

 

I just want to say that SM sucks bad for us Hondas.

I have been running SM in my 90 hatch because of the swap. Well at my local events SM is full of heavily modified EVOs and STis.... and then there's me. lol

But yeah, I just picked up a 92 Miata in perfect shape!! EStock here I come!

P.S. Just from what I've experienced on the street so far, it feels like the stock miata handles better than my Civic with ground control/illuminas and ST sway bars front and back.

i beat him every time by several seconds but it is cause of shitty tires and a slick *** pavement. he smoked me on a 1.7 mile road course at motorsport ranch. Line us up on the street, making him start in 3rd, he still beats.

Also, he used to work at Panoz Racing School, so its not bad driving.

Check out the results. I'm 8th, hes 9th.

of the top 4 spots at nationals, 2 were civics. there were 3 civics within the top ten there was only 1 evo and zero sti's

 

why was he like 8 seconds slower than the other camaro?....

both camaros are on street tires... it has to be driver

 

sorry camaro's aren't for turning tightly, just like most american cars

any car can be made to take tight turns camaros arent anything to shrug your shoulders at. get the right tires and hed probably own me but i still like laughing at him when i smoke him and im only talking this much s**t cause he is reading this over my shoulder
