Whitnith: very awesome!

Tracks:
Roabling Road, GA
Road Atlanta, GA
VIR, VA
Barber Motorsports Park, AL
Carolina Motorsports Park, SC

Those are all that comes to mind offhand. I <3 trackdays, its just been cheaper for me to AutoX the last 2 years. Need to get a set of Hankook RS2 or RS3's for track use......

As for my car... some of Phoenix is declassified, hahaha

Suspension wise:
Custom built D2 Racing Coilovers, with 12K springs up front, and 10K springs in the back.
No Front Sway Bar or Endlinks
Rack Spacers ( For what its worth, they are there, haha)
1" TTR Rear Sway Bar
All the camber my coilovers adjustment plates will give me
Powell Aluminum lower control arms with Delrin and Spherical bushings
ATE Type 200 Fluid, Stainless brake lines, Napa Ultra Premium Drums, Front Disks, Hawk HPS pads

I think thats it suspension wise on the car... The motor is classified, haha.

 

That is a lot of spring and a very interesting setup.

 

Yup. Haha. I blew the front struts out on less spring. When D2 built me the custom front struts I went to a stiffer spring as well. Wound up setting the car up like my roommates killer Honda - because it works so well. It has crazy amounts of rotation. I really need to get a diff in the car......

 

It rides stiff. Definitely not for an old guy's daily driver.

 

Why the hell is a Cavalier in ESP?

 

I am completely retarded - I meant STC

 

 

Don't want to thread jack but I was wondering if you could help me on what class I would be in. I'm just getting back into some autocross. Pretty at my first autocross they had me in the wrong class. Here's the setup:

09 SS
ZZP intake tube with stock box and K&N drop in
3 in Downpipe w/ stock exhaust
Trifecta Budget Tune

Pedders XA Coilovers
Progress sway bar
Enkei PF01's 8in with 235/40/18 GT Radial Champiro UHP Tires
Centric Rotors w/Power Slot Evolution Pads.Front Stock Rear

On the way to the event my friends car broke so they allowed us to enter my car. Pretty sure they just threw us into a class but it was my first time autoX'ing in 7 years so I wasn't worried about winning. We had a blast and I can't wait to get back into this on a more regular basis next year. I do like road courses more but dodging cones is a fun time too.

I will have a video of my run up later this week... Thanks in advance for any insight..

 

I'm pretty sure the tune is going to knock you into SMF. I think the rule is anything that increases boost does, but maybe some of the other turbo guys can chime in.

 

I was looking at a layout of the classes and based on this PDF I found I can run in Street Prepared or SMF. Here is the page... Does that sound right to you seasoned AutoX'ers? Might be doing another event this Sunday and want to register.

If you've changed boost you're SMF as far as I've been lead to believe.

 

This is where we need some more turbo guys to chime in. Based on that, it does seem you can run in Street Prep since you haven't changed the turbo at all. Tuning is allowed, based on the "Changed ECU Software, Chip or VTEC Controller?" and "Changed Boost Controls or Levels?" questions.

Those of us with LSJs get dinged when we pulley down, since that is changing the blower. I haven't fully studied the class rules once I found out I'm stuck in SMF.

 

I got bumped into SMF for the Tjin trunk anyway, but I was told that altering the amount of boost was also something that would make me SMF.

 

i think wangspeed is pretty heavy into scca too. always nice to see guys that can do something other than mash the gas.

 

lmftfy...

 

Need to do some auto-x. I rally-x in my fathers WRX and consecutively place within the top two and won the last national event we had but have yet to test out my skills at auto-x.

 

I seem to recall reading that there are some reasonably big changes as far as classes coming for next season. New car, new classes, my oh my.

 

Doesn't matter when you have far outclassed yourself and just do it for fun

 

guys collectively. would you'uns or yall have worked better? i cant say you people, makes people lippy

 

Hahah, I know. i just like throwing it out there that there are girls out there too. I really blow minds when I'm a) in a Cobalt and b) a girl.

Haha, this. SMF isn't worth it unless you have slicks, but it's fun if you find other Deltas to run. Once we were the only 3 people in SMF, which was nice.

 

Everywhere Ive gone, if your not on Slicks in SMF your out to lunch.


I will be curious, and i hope there is a good SMF car pool in cali when I get there (and can afford more tires)

 

Yeah we were all on street tires so it was pretty even.

 

They put me in FSP,

Base model with intake, 2.4 intake manifold, longtube header, lsj cat back, lsj front brakes, poly trans mounts, lsj control arms and ebiach sportlines. I really need to learn how to drive better. Only did a couple events and it seems the other guys in my class are usually a MK2 gti and a mk2 Jetta coupe. Both are consistently a 2 seconds faster.

 

You can "change the boost" electronically in SP, but you cannot mechanically. So an LSJ with a pulley automatically goes to SMF, but a LNF with a tune can run in SP. Makes zero sense, but that is the way it is.

 

I'm trying to get my head around the class changes coming for next year.
