Autocross
 

Does anyone here/has anyone here autocross? I just went on Saturday night for the first time with a bunch of people from http://www.350zen.org. Lots of fun, started out at 7PM and I didn't get to run until about 10 when the 3rd run group started. If anyone is interested, here is my best run and the last run I did, I have 4 more vids I just haven't put them up yet.

I also have a bunch of pics I took, I'll post them later.

I had so much fun, I think I found my new favorite sport...

Time to find a set of track tires/wheels happy:

time to find a manual transmission happy:

man i remember that argument. fun times. not bad himmler, still needs a bit of practice but given your past mentality towards your car, i'm impressed.

It was my first time, hopefully I'll be going to the next one at the end of September. I can do better

I need to take mine to an auto cross event. Subaru is actually sponsoring a huge one up in DC, something like a few hundred Subarus from Legacys to WRX's showed up, thats coming up in September.

Suby's do great in Auto-x. The fastest car was a evo that was all stock except for an exhaust. The guy was a fucking insane driver, got a 43 something second time.

That's awesome, looks like fun.

Do you do this often...the one concern I'd have would be constantly pushing my daily driver to the max...

yeah it kind of sucks, lots of wear on the brakes and tires.

This was the first time I've ever done it, but once isn't bad on your tires at all. Its actually hardly any wear on your brakes, I only had ABS engage once when my foot slipped off the brake, lol. The tires it can wear if you do it a lot, thats why I am currently looking for a set of track tires/wheels. I think I found some for a good price too.

Had my new dual piston 12' Brakes installed, and opting for my 11' rear's soon to replace my antique drums, :). Then ill be off to Shannonville, and TMP next season :).

Not when you Convert the rear torsion bar/axle to a N-body IRS swap. :). Weight distribution isn't that bad either. Front and rear strut braces + my rear FE3 rear Sway bar, front 20mm sway bar, Koni Yellow Struts, Eibach sport lines, Solid Strut Mounts, Poly Urethane Bushings, Aluminum front control arms, mated with some nice Z rated rubbers makes for a great FWD drive car, with under steer comparable to a Integra Type R. :).

I have found that when it comes to FWD cars, they pretty much all suck, so until Insurance allows me to own something different, I am stuck with her :).
