AutoX pics

Here they are. Finally I got some time to develop the film and scan the pics.

Whoa, nice rims on that Ci. SSR Comp's have to be the absolute lightest rims that you can use on the street.

I need to get myself into some Auto-x events soon...you guys keep luring me to it!

Yeah, but without the stickers they're nowhere near as fast.

CD55 and I ran an SCCA autocross today at FedEx field. It was a good time; this is the first year they've had a lot that big out here, and it allowed a much longer course that was easier to navigate and didn't double back on itself so much. Fortunately, we were in the morning session, because the sky opened up around 12:30 (right before my last run).

After today, I've decided that at some point I'm going to get a set of track tires.

Thanks that's my car!

Like JST was saying, I am prolly down 5 - 10hp, because I have not yet applied the "SSR", and "Competition" stickers. j/k

BTW, they are 8 X 17 inch rims with 235/40 S-03 tires all around. With this set-up, if I need to, to manage tire wear, I can swap the tires front to back, but not side to side.

You should go to the autoX. For $15 to $30 dollars a day, I cannot think of a better driving value.

The first site I uploaded the pics sucks. Try the other one Another site

About a digi cam... the ones I like cost too much so for now I better stick with my Nikon and a scanner

I should've taken a group pic as well, well I guess some other time

Here's a Type R racer. I felt that I have to share it with you guys. A friend of mine just sent me this link :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

The hi-res pics work well. Thanks!

Stickers are everything! Just take a look at that toilet. :yikes:

Also, having the tires non-staggered really helps balance the car in the turns, making the handling more neutral at the limit. Excellent choices with both the wheels and tires. :thumb:

Oh yeah, the balance really is a huge improvement! I never knew what I was missing.

Before my car would sometimes oversteer and sometimes understeer, but now... 4-wheel drifts can be maintained thought an entire turn. I LOVE IT!!!

Hehe, about 2 hours ago, I was turning onto my street, in a normally quiet residential neighbourhood. But there is an elementary school right at that corner and it's 3:45, so there are many many many minivans and the like clogging up the street. I waited with my left signal on for a Cavalier to go by. It stopped for no reason in particular, and since it was raining, I couldn't see if they were waving me in or something. I took the chance and took off, squeezing between a van and the curb. Unexpetedly, the rear end came out mid-turn (no DSC here) and I ended up swinging around the turn half-sideways. Quite scary at first, but I ended up powering out of it for fun when the car started straightening up.

Non-staggered tires are fun.
