New To Auto X

If it is SCCA, should be 10 years. SA2005 and SA2010, along with M2005 and M2010 should still be legal.

OP, you should set your sites a little higher than the guy in the vid you posted.

Moving of hands can't be helped in some situations. The steering box in Kiesel's Sprite is quite short. I have a Quaife QR in my CRX, and I still have to move my hands around to get enough steering input.

nice lap!



CART isnt exactly 100% scca. they follow most of the rules with the exception of classing.

Holy shit thats fast, my car would definitely be out control driven like that. :squint:

Same here.

 

[TurboMirage]

its not what you think. videos don't give the full feel of the actual experience. where it looks so super fast, in reality he is only going about 60-70mph.

Nah, you'd be surprised how much grip these chassis can generate.

 

[GlassHeadlights]

Well my civic has a 10" longer wheelbase than a CRX...

I'm running KYB AGX shocks on Tein S-Tech springs with 24mm sway bars front and rear, I want to try stiffer spring rates cause my car has crazy body roll and pretty bad over steer.

 

[LowFlyin']

What spring rates?

I'm at 450f/650r with a stock bar up front and 22mm bar out back.

Front is probably 100# too soft for autoXing on race tires, but it's dead-on for road courses.

 

[TurboMirage]

Teins are soft. Upgrade to atleast some eibachs.

 

[GlassHeadlights]

Super soft, they are designed to run OEM shocks.

Mirage: Ground Controls?

 

[TurboMirage]

GCs would probably be best.

Final Raw Time Results, #3 - Winter Series III - March 3, 2013

Last events results. I made 25th out of 40. :/

 

[|Chaz|]

Not bad most autocrossers are fairly proficient drivers. You did well for your first time!

 

[|Chaz|]

Er, second time?

 

[Briansol]

mid pack is excellent for a civic with a new driver

 

[GlassHeadlights]

Many thank yous! I'm stoked I beat the other civics haha, there's one crx that's always in the top heap but he's a very experienced driver with a well set up car.

 

[GlassHeadlights]

In the midst of building up my old CRX for the track.

-Clean low mileage D16Z6 (110,000 mi or 180,000 kms)
-Function & Form Type 1's (10k front + 6k rear)
-DA Integra booster + master + prop valve
-Fresh-ish Si discs front + rear + steel braided lines
-Dunlop Direzza Star Spec Z1's (10% tread left lol)

 

[dc4dude]

I thought you left that one to yer dad?

 

[GlassHeadlights]

I did and he used it for a while then we sold the B16 swap to a buddy then sold the shell to another good buddy whose learning to drive. He gets to learn a little about how a car goes together then he's going to passenger with me during auto x and eventually get into it with me

 

[GlassHeadlights]

Track event went just alright with the CRX, I wish I had the coupe however...I'm used to it and all. Next weekend is a lapping day on the oval and I'm considering attending, the high speed is appealing lol
