<![CDATA[Autocross/rally]]>A place to talk and discuss the fine art of driving not in a straight line...
Talk about what class your racing in, events your going to, what your building, suspension set ups, whatever....as long as there is no straightline racing talk.

Anyone building anything or "tuning" anything this winter?...

THIS DOES NOT MEAN LESS GRIP. It actually makes more grip as more of your tire stays in road contact. Anyway the stiffer your rear end the more appt to slide it is. Then you add all that power your making and you'll create the "power over" drifitng effect. think american muslce car movie u turn drift.You don't swerve to start it, but you start to swing out because of the power you ake. So you're going to probably have your back end swinging around A LOT until you get your setup tuned, or just stay that way and learn to drive it like that. The 2 door billion hp evo does.

For reference, watch youtube videos of WRC Road Rally footage. you should be able to do those 1 lane uturn that they do.

But I believe its when you are corning and the car begins to loose traction do the the HP/TQ the vehicle makes, not from the suspension or the tires. Sort of like drifting(drifting) but that is the first thing that come to my mind

A truck and a trailer is a smart idea. Just in case your car breaks or you crash or whatever, anything can happen. thats the thing that keeps me from doing more roadracing besides my job, just too busy in the summer.

Exactly what I was getting at. Get some EBC or Hawk pads. You'll thank me later.

Not that auto-x isn't fun, I just think that he would rather be able to take his car to 100+ mph and then have to drop down few gears for some hairpins. He is a big fan of F1 racing so I can see this as being more of his style of a race/track event.

Hey, finally some people talking about something other than drag racing. Nice to see some of you who enjoy turning the wheel. Where do you guys race? I used to go to St. Cloud but haven't in a couple of years. I would like to go to a real race track sometime but i need to improve my brakes. I don't have a truck and a trailer either, which is a must have. I have been lucky in the past but if you drive your car to the track and wreck it your SOL. My car has been very reliable. Guess what i drive? 92 eclipse gsx. I have driven 2hrs. to the track 6-8hrs. at the track and then back home with no problems except worn out brakes. Anyhow good to hear about you guys, keep fightin the good fight.

There are Auto-x events in GF all the time. also there are rumors of tintmasters doing a brainerd event or 2.

Gotta find a 28mm front bar that will fit the front after I do what i need to the engine bay. Still undecided on actual suspension setup.

As will and the manifold and DP. I have pretty decent spool, would be better for road courses also, but should still do decent for auto-x. My suspension list in not complete. at the moment it looks like the fallowing. Stance GR+Pro coilovers, Nismo Power brace, Garage Tech Tension Rods, Circuit Sports Strut Bars, undecided brand of sway bars(deciding between godspeed, progress tech, and tanabe), SLP subframe bushings, and then the rear links sometime later like this summer(Traction rods, Toe arms and Rear Upper Control Arms) It depends on the money situation when its complete.(someone buy my 240 thats for sale, HINT)
