Had a fun run for the kickoff for the season and I figured this would be the best time to break the ice and learn more how the car handles and how I drive. I love Autox and I was getting better .





a vid of one of the runs.

Looks fun

 

Weather looks good too.

 

Is it just me or does your rear rim look like its really close to the pavement? Is your tire sidewall folding over?

 

Theres some slight stretch in the rear

It was damn cold in the morning but around 1 it got freaking perfect.

 

looks like that a little bit doesn't it. but nice runs nate, i watched your vid and it did look like the track was a little small compared to ones i've seen but you did get better and better each time so that's all that matters

 

meh time attack > auto x anyday lol but work with what ya got right lol

what did you set your tire pressure at or did you not **** around with that and did you change your shock setting?

 

was 38 front and 45 rear and we just moved it around as it got hotter. Im already fully stiff with the coilovers lol.

 

needs more tire.

 

Looks like MAD fun! Im hoping to do this possibly this summer

 

Air!!!

 

Good to see you had fun!!

 

you need to either get some more air or more tire in the back(or both), also looks like raising the back would help too.

 

Thanks for the tips but I was just doing it for fun and ***** and giggles. we kept changing from 38psi-45psi during runs as the temperature outside was getting warmer.

Heres one of the vids. good to watch myself and see what areas I need more work in if I decide to sign up for the season.

For ***** and giggles or not, its not safe be running your tires like that....best case scenario youll destroy the tire, worst case you ruin an expensive rare wheel, your car and get yourself hurt. Weird **** happens at auto-x's sometimes man, If youre gonna do this again you should throw a different setup on for the day. Theres load of people who switch wheels for track days and auto-x, youre not proving anything doing on the LMs. Be safe man.

 

FYI - your car is pogoing from a lack of rebound damping, and/or bouncing off the bumpstops, but if you had enough rebound, hitting the bumpstops wouldn't be THAT bad.

 

what wangspeed and maven BOTH said hit the nail on the head...... you were freaking out about your brakes almost catching fire at tail of the dragon. this is no different and just as hazerdous both to you and your car the people surrounding.

***** and giggles or not this is one of the instances you need to not worry about weather someone with the same color car buys your exact rims and worry about the potential hazzard it is. chances are too if you had 45psi in there with an un hot tire most tires carry a max a 44psi(could be wrong with your current tire) but if thats the case you were over inflated from the beginniing and when they heated up way over inflated. these guys are right....if your going to auto x more then get a different setup on there or like i said before more tire.

 

WTF does this have to do with TOTD or someone with same wheels?

 

Looks like fun, someday I gotta do this.

 

 

who gives a ****, seriously. when someone wants to go out and try something, they don't go buy the best equipment right off the bat. are you gonna go buy $250 worth of golf discs before you even learn how to properly throw? are you going to go buy coilovers, hub swap, wheels, slicks, skinnies, built trans just to go make your first pass down the track???

let it go, he went out for his first autox day and had fun, nothing posted in the thread is going to cause time to reverse so he can go back and put proper wheels and tires on. I know he never does anything half assed, so i foresee him getting a proper setup if he really wants to keep competing.

 

1/4 mile > all , looks like a fun day.

 

lol people WTF!! The guy is saying how much fun he had autoXing, yet everyone gives him ****! Who cares if his setup isnt IDEAL for autoX, he went out there and did it, more than most everyone can say!

 

the point is your freaking out at totd over brakes...you change your wheels so your car isnt the same as someone else but when your tires folding over in the rear you brush it off like you dont care.

im not hating on your "stanced" car. and i understand you were just tyring this. so you know for next time you should change something up. the whole point i made in my last post was that you use to care about things that were a big deal like your brakes and i just found it funny that you brushed the whole safety thing off like its not a big deal thats all.

 

why do you always feel like you have to make a point about nate? shut the hell up and go back to talking **** in the ***** thread
