First auto-X of the season!

Well, started off with a school on Sat , then an event on Sun!! Wooo, good way to get back into things!
I got bumped into STS with my CAI, and lots of other cars in my class...this car has soo much power...we had tons of sloloms and lane changes, two chicago boxes, and two small sweepers...Bout a 89 sec course for those CSP miatas...i got one battle scarFour runs total, out of abuot 120 cars...
Changed my tires, so didnt get to stay for awards....

Positives: Sway bar kicked in around the pivot cone! Woohoo, and LSD really helped...
Car is more nimble than I thought it would be

Negatives: Must break a lot earlier on these BFGrench Sport tires
Told i needed to get the camber kit!

Other than that, fun time had by all! Ready for the next!!

Cool I can't wait until everything gets going up here, Your running on the BFG sports what were you running previously? Also did you have a SS/Sc without the LSD before or did you just put one in?

You should actually be in STX class. We had a BIG debate about that here, then read and re-read the rules. In all honesty, I prefer DSP to either. That's what I run in with mine because I run R-comps and I LOOOOOOOVE that class. A lot more closer in competition.

I put crashbolts (excentrics) in the lower (upper of the 2) strut bolts and have a max adjust up to neg 2.2* .
