auto x!!

[Guest]

Is there an AWD mini-suv class in auto-x? If so, I may be purchasing a vehicle I'd run with (just for fun of course...and no, its not my Murano)

[KA-T_240]

mmmm. depends on the size of the vehicle you would have. it would go into the stock class.

but there are some hieght, wheel base limitaions.

frietag, for the money you spend on all those interior peices you are just wasting money. stich weld the interior, and put in a cage and a front STB and call it good.

freitag roll cage? cheap and WAY more stiff then any bolt on bar you could buy

why not cage it and use all the bars!!!!!

[KA-T_240]

^you will just waste money. a roll cage is the biggest stiffning mod you can do. putting a front STB will brace up the front end. and depeing on what they make there are some that go from frame to fraim on the rears by the tail lights

[DrifterExtreme]

if you have a good cage there is no need for 47 connecting bars, going from all over the car to random spots. waste of money... lol

as faber has said get a stb aswell, and if you insist on a rear stb just have the person who is welding in the cage have the rear down bars go into the strut tower area and when he welds in the base plates he can add a rear bar that will connect the strut towers. way stiffer then any aftermarket bolt on stb.

Nope... I haven't bought it yet, but I'm leaning towards a Nissan Rogue, but I have a Murano already, so I may say screw it and get a Titan instead....we'll see

the rogue's are fun. I got to drive a bunch of them when i worked at Nissan. I think the only trans you can get is the cvt( i could be wrong). Nissan is still having alot of the cvt's go bad. i would recommend the extended warranty.

chucks livin on the edge!

[Guest]

You are right, it is CVT...but CVT w/ paddle shifters at least.

I've had very good luck w/ my CVT in my Murano. Beside, I very seldom ever keep a vehicle long enough to need extended warranty.

WTF?

It really wasn't all that off topic, I asked about classes for small SUV's, the response was made, someone commented on the vehicle and its transmission, I stated it had paddle shifters, and we are now back on topic

autoX looks a blast. so i hope to give it a go this next year.
my car is by no means a car made for it, but will still give it a go.

Your car is a lot closer to an autocross style car then mine and i still might try it. Who knows, my car won't be good for it but it is about fun right....

[musthavemuzk]

yes it is about fun.
something i have read about autoX is that is helps you drive better evenif you are not the fastest out there. as you have to see better. you have to learn your car to do your best.
then the next event is dif course and you have to do it all over again.
