Anyone here AutoX?

Just wondering Ive been to a few events and there are always CRX's never any hatch's. AutoX'ers represent.

I haven't gone yet, but I plan to once I get my car done... I'd be curious to know if anyone in the LA/OC/SD area goes...

um i would hope i can but i dunno... i would bust out the tunes if i autoXed hehe lol naw but "once it's complete" its a goal of mine to autocross a little

Yea i'm goin on my 3rd year now. And still wooping on cars that cost way more and would also kill mine under most any other conditions lol. I got 3rd in STS last year. I'd like to at least go for 2nd this year but the kid whos on top (my good friend in a superfly GSR) is like national level material i swear hehe. Fun as all hell thats for sure

:D

Looks like you hit a few cones there buddy...:D :D

Seriously, it does look like crazy fun. I imagine you really get to know your car...

:flipa: lol no those were just pointer cones. NOW if you wanna talk this past weekend...when the civic went kamazi into a freakin wall of cones and took out 3 or so of them....those were actaully the first cones i think i've gotton all year lol...good to nail a few now and then ;)

And yes...you learn insane car control. I've only been in it for 3 years and i can do things with my car that just scare me its hard to explain (two words: controled drifting)...but it makes you a much better driver which is the important thing.

I'm curious - what mods do you have on your car? Really I'm much more interested in autoX-ing than drag racing....

Hey Habib, what are the rules you are on, I am trying to plan my mods and dont wanna knock myself outta the weakest class I can get into.

I have some short clips of a really nice CRX racing at Carlisle, check them out, also a focus and a WRX

You will probabaly have to do a right click and save target then open them....think it works?!

And why does he have two different numbers on each side of the car? I'd like to do auto-X. My grandad and my dad tried it a couple times in a little Shelby CSX if anyone knows what I'm talking about it was a dodge shadow two door with a turbo puttin out about 165 hp I believe. My dad got some pretty good times in it but I rode with him once and that thing had the worst understeer I'd ever seen in my life.

MMMMM Auto X and DiFFFFFting hahahah :flipa:

CRX586 & Bleebdat - If you guys wanna find rules I know if you goto www.SCCA.org and type "rules" into the search bar that will get you started. The EASIEST way is to goto a event and check with someone who knows the rules or has a SCCA rule book. I'd try to explain some but there are just sooooo many damn clases lol. If your car is stock..then go run a event now...see what other classes allow, then base your upgrades on that...if you've already upgraded...then go anyways you never know till you try. As for my car, its a STS (Street Touring - Street tire) car. You must run street tires no DOT legal race rubber or anything. However you can do anything to the suspenion long as it mounts in factory points, brakes can be modded as long as they don't change size (so you can buy lines, stock size slotted drilled rotors, etc) and for the motor you can do I/H/E and ECU thats really about all. Some other little rules in STS but thats it in a nutshell. Good class for civics. My mods are as follows...

Suspension:
Tockio illumia adjustable shocks
Eibach prokit springs (little over 1' drop)
Polyurathane bushings (just about everywhere in the suspension)
Neuspeed rear sway bar (22mm)
Neuspeed front strut bar
15' VW steelie wheels (as you can see in the photos)
195/50 R15 sumitomo HTZ tires
toe 1/16 out front - 1/16 in rear

Brakes:
Bremo OEM rotors
Axxis metalmaster pads
Goodridge lines
Dot 4 ATE Super blue brake fluid
Rebuilt rear drums

Engine: (need to work on this one lol)
AEM short ram intake
Magnacore wires (8.5mm???)
Focuz Axle back exhaust
Comming soon:
A header of some sort in like 2 weeks lol, and a few months after that a REAL catback system (com'on thermal) MAYBE Jet ECU I dunno.


Eric: The vids didn't work for me :( However I loved all the other gallaries of pics, i didn't know you redid your page like that, its pretty damn nice! Your forgivin this time...since your civic of the month and all ;)

red4thgencivic: I could be wrong...but isn't that the civic that defeated a whole field of Suby 2.5RS's last year to win STS at nationals? When no one said a civic could do it this 89 Si showed up and beat almost a entire field of AWD torque monsters lol...something to think about really its impressive. I think the next closest honda was almost 10 spots back, the closest FWD car was a neon in 6th maybe? Can't remeber but it really shocked alot of people....I drive a Si i'm not surpised ;) There might have been 2 drivers for the same car (hence the different #'s its common place really)

BTW...tell him to throw some good tires on that old turbo shelby...NEVER sleep with one of cars next to you at a light or even in turns...biggest factory sleepers ever lol.

Daylight: What in the hell are you doing online? Its almost sunday...go fix your bustin ass JDM front end...or steal your womans car...and go racing damnit :finger: lol just kiddin with ya :flash:

habib_88, thanks for the info! I'll definitely have to look into this more...

Your setup sounds very similar to what I'm going for. How do you like the Prokits? These are the springs I plan on getting, as well as the bushings (Energy Suspension), sway bars, etc...

HABIB!

i've been looking for you :apoke: *HINT* trying going online while normal people are still awake :huh:!

let's talk exhausts. you still have that Focus one? how does it sound? sometime between the water in the gas tank and one of the blown head gaskets :eek: that my car started to sound like garbage. i'm not sure if my exhaust just plain went bad on me...or maybe the cat rusted out??? i dunno. but the car is getting hella loud and ugly sounding :cry:

what is the exhaust wise-grasshopper is going with? :evillaugh

ami

AMI!!!....sorry just wanted to shout your name like you shout mine :flipa: OHHHHH!!!!! haha j/k. yea I was racing in Ohio sunday I didn't hop online even to look at this board let alone AOL. Anyways yes i'm still pimpin the muffin shooter out the back of my car. However this summer its goin to a new home, least I hope. I'm thinkin of gettin a thermal stealth system, I love normal thermal exhaust but my friend has been runnin one on his CRX along with the same headers and new cat i wanna get...and its just way to loud...not bad loud, it sounds like a freakin street bike i swear. Plus I heard the stealth system doesn't kill ALL your sound so it will still all be good. IM me sometime we'll talk ;)

CRX586- I like the prokits alot, but in the future I seriously think i'm gonna get progress springs. I raced in a 4th gen hatch with those springs, and I really spoiled myself in my friends CRX with the progress coilover system, I just want their balance lol. But seriously I do enjoy the eibachs alot they are a good choice.

Yeah we had the old goodyear gatorbacks on it for a long time, I think he was running like michelins or something when they were racing it though. That thing was quick, but uhh we kinda had to get rid of it, my grandad started getting in to motorcycles(He's got 5 now) and we already had a 1965 Shelby GT-350 so the CSX had to go, I think some kid came down from like chicago and bought it. Yeah I think the guy in the civic is the one you're talking about, I'd like to know what kind of suspension he's running. Yeah now that I think about it the two numbers makes perfect sense.

BTw here's pics. of the CSX and GT-350(the G.T. 350 pic is the on we have, but I couldn't find any old pics. of the CSX so these are from some site).
