Default My auto-xing pics.

I'll try and post hear and see if Corey is nice to me. If I post in road racing most of the guys will be like big deal they're auto-x pics. Which is true.




and me trying to keep warm. I'm doing the thing with the leg.

I got 2nd in STS; 3rd in Novice; and 33rd out of 114 drivers.

Sweet pics man , I auto crossed my 2000 Civic Si all last year and now I am getting a fifth gen lude. How does it handle? I noticed that it is quite a bit bigger car, but it has a ton more torque...

anyway, sweet pics and I can't wait to try my new lude out

My suspension:
-Tanabe Super H springs. 1" lower w/50% increase in stiffness from stock springs
-KYB AGX shocks 4 setting
-Neuspeed front tower bar (need a rear)
-ST anti-sway bars. (front and rear.)

I'd like to go with a stiffer and lower spring. I'm thinking around 400 in the front and 300 in the rear. Any thoughts anyone?

From another post. Story about what happened
I lived in a place only ranked only 2nd to San Fransisco when it comes to life style, you know hippies, freaks and college idiots. Tonight I was heading towards the mall to get some last minutes shopping done. The usually route I take to get to the main highway, has a hill in the route. So its dark I'm crusing up the hill and I see 5 feet infront of me a tire rolling. No chance to take evasive action the tire hits my front left side. Imagine what I said at that moment WTF FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
So basically the road was black; the tire was black; the environment was black, so I couldn't see a tire ROLLING DOWN THE f**kING HILL.
Pull over to examine, its not that bad. The list of the wounded parts.
1.) Head light cracked and broken mounting points.----$225.00 + shipping
2.) Cracks in bumper from the creasing of the bumper at the point of impact. Might be able to be buffed out *hopefully* ----$40.00
3.) Various marks in bumper from tire impact. ------Buffing included when cracks from above buffed.
4.) Edge of front frender bent in about 1/2 so it doesn't line up. Fixing I don't know probably $20.00. My buffing guy might be able to fix that. (he also does dents.)
Total--------$285.00.

So how did it happen....... 2 thoughts
1.) Kids or someone, they're know by my as f**kERS rolled a tire down the hill.
2.) Tire fell out of a truck and happened to land so that it would roll.
Anyone got a left headlight in good condition?

Thanks for reading.

Do not lower your car anymore, you will loose suspension travel, which is VERY important on not so smooth parking lots.. The KYBs do not like to be very low, I ran them for several years

A good all around spring rate combo is 400front/500rear.. And take that front swaybar off and sell it... You need oversteer in a FWD car, and the front swaybar isn't helping that.. A rear tower bar won't do much, but you have a great front bar, I want a neuspeed one

I don't care about posting autox/roadracing pics here, I think it encourages people to go out and try this stuff.. http://www.autocross.com is a great site to get you started
