My 1st run was 66.XX, i took it slow, i missed 2nd, because my shifter was soo hott and slippy, but my next run was 63.XX (one cone), next run was 61.XX (dnf), my last was my best 58.XX (it was awesome)

My 1st two runs i ran with my suspension tuned on F10 R10, tire pressure F35psi R35psi....my last two runs i adjusted my suspension to F6 R10, and tire pressure to F35psi R38psi.

The best run of the day was a 49.XX (zo6 vette), i came in 3rd out of 4 in my class, I was about 1 sec from 2nd place.. but im a noob soo...

To wrap it up, i say, AutoXing is about 1000 times funner then drag racing, Im addicted now.. , I never knew i could lost traction so easily.

me neither, til I spun out on my first run, my first time at the track.

 

whats your current suspension setup?

 

Tein RA
Spoon Rear strut bar
Stock tires

 

Sweet! Talk about a big improvement from your 1st to best run

 

They say road courses blow autoX away, and is less harsh on the car. I too was impressed my first autoX and cant wait to make it to a real track one day.

 

i had fun the first time i autocrossed, but i think its boring now. My car has five gears, i'd rather use more than two. just my opinion.

 

road course

 

not sure what tires you have but I would say 25 is definitely too low in the front. Also swap the pressure. run high in the front and low in the rear.

FYI Bridgestone RE730's and S03's seem to be fine at 38 psi with no rollover. Dunlop SP900's need 40-42 to prevent rolloevr. stock tires needed 40 ish as well.

Sounds like a great start. good job.

 

Sure, driving a road coarse may be more fun than an autox - but there is NO WAY an autox is harder on your car than taking it to the track...

 

I agree with this as well. I usually run 40 psi up front and 35 in the rear. I should try 40/40 for some more drifto action

Jordo, you have aftermarket suspension and you're still in CSP?

 

Glad you found out your car came with a steering wheel

Guess you don't want that turbo upgrade no more, eh?

 

still do

 

I am always about 4 seconds slower on autoX events then the best one. I get better with every event. Slicks ownz!

 

i just need time

foudn it big pimpin

 

When you have fun about autoX and you do it a few times in a year, then mount some slicks on 15 inch rims. No comparison to R compound tires. With Slicks it is awesome.
