Well i'm finally going to 'officially' take some turns in my hatch. I've spent lots of time putting together what i think is a good setup and i can definetely feel one hell of a difference compared to stock. I'm running ITR LCA's with Mugen Sport Suspension, GSR rear disc with brembos all around and 13" VX wheels with 215/50R13 Kuhmo V700s', all powered by a LS-Turbo setup... any tips or tricks to do good around the cones this sunday?

 

Be smooth and when in doubt take the shortest path (as opposed to a road course line).

 

walk the course like you it could lead you to the stairway of heaven

 

dont hit any cones ...smooth acceleration or your front tires will be gone

extra you in there: "walk the course like it could lead you to the stairway to heaven"

 

I will be doing the same tommorow...
pics will be added later to a 'my first autocross thread'

 

Here is my advice: Have fun! Go out there, walk the course, talk to some experienced guys and have a good time. Don't concern yourself with tire pressure etc, just dive it and worry about the rest of it during later events. Oh, and bring sunscreen

 

walk the course a minimum of three times (more, if possible), do the novice walk-through if they have one, watch what the faster guys do, don't worry about your times (you won't be fast) and HAVE FUN!

floor it and avoid cones

 

the hatch took 2nd in the C Class. i got a blingin little certificate out of it.

Not bad for the first time..

 

C-stock or C-mod?

Being the turbo seup I assume you were running in C-mod...

Glad you had fun, welcome to your new addiction!

 

how did you manage to fit 13" vx wheels over GSR brakes?

I think all he did was put on the rear discs from the GSR.
