Default Auto-X'd the ITR for the first time.

So I auto-x'd the ITR for the first time and man was it fun. I have done some Gymkana events, but it does not compare to auto crossing.

Mods are RMF Rep header, Comptech Icebox, Spoon Spark plug wires, and test pipe.

Suspension: Koni Yellows w/ stock ITR springs. OEM ITR front and back strut tower bars. Replaced all suspension bushings w/ hard race bushings.

Tires/Wheels: Motegi Tracklite's w/ 205/50-15 Dunlops star specs

I think I did okay for it being my first time and all. Defenitely was not the slowest out there.

Thanks Jason S. for all the great pics.

Pics: I had to wear a pink helmet cus thats all they had to loan out; all the other ones were picked out early.

You have no idea how much of an open-ended question that truly is.

Be more specific about what you're doing with the car and we can probably help narrow it down a bit for you.

I wonder why they had you classed in STS? Your LSD is illegal in that class.
You where definately STX with those mods.

Or DSP if they wanted to be serious about the test pipe.

STS = two-seater cars like the CRX and older Miata

You certainly should not be there.

No need, I already told you.

I'd stick with STX and dont mention the test pipe or you'll be in DSP.

Were there any stock itr's out there and if so how did they do? I'm getting mine out there for the next event in central fla. It's stock and I want to see how it does and decide on mods from there. I've heard a stock itr is in d-class. I've done it with my wry before and loved it. Looking forward to trying out the itr. Your car looks good man. Glad to see you're using it for what it's made for.
