so this was my first autocross event in my 84 gsl-se. It was super wet and raining and fun as hell. I removed the rear sway bar and that alone mad it so much better. I have all stock suspension this but i have the front coil overs at the house from respeed. cant wait to get the rear and all four struts and go back. heres the time laps. http://www.sfr-solo.org/solo2/Result...h/round05.html

Nice pics man. Does that say 1 FUN?
|
nice.
|
looks really fun!
|
Autocrossing in the wet is a great way to work on your car control at a safer speed.
Usually they require you to have your windows rolled down in competition but I bet they allowed it in this case. Your car would have flooded from the looks of the weather there! :lol: |
I love racing in the rain! Takes away the horsepower and tire advantage, giving a fairly level playing field that you just can't find on dry pavement.
Get those parts installed, then try it again for even more enjoyment. You're going to want Respeed's front swaybar too, and once you get that you can reinstall the stock rear bar and it won't mess you up anymore. :) . |

Car is 95% ready for action. Should be all set by the time of the 1st race, just need to install a few more bolts on the body panels and install the passenger side headlight and tail light. Looking forward to racing with you when you aren't driving Nissan Versa rental car! :)

lol, I've got about 5 races worth of video that I still haven't done anything with yet. Never enough time with a wife and kids, full time job, etc. :)

How do I get signed up for autocross All you really do is show up with like $50 and you get like a day pass if you dont have the scca license. I was surprised how easy and laid back it was. It really helps to learn the track if you can ask some one for a ride along before I hope i can get my suspension dialed in before than. I have a two day weekend and theres been some good sun shine lately :icon_tup: |

I got the Re-Speed swaybar and it did not fit right and required modification. Now it is touching my radiator and will require further modification. Everything else from Re-Speed worked out pretty well--except this. Maybe it is because I have a GSL-SE?
Have you contacted Billy about this? |
Yea id like to see some pics of that sway bar too. I am getting ready to purchase the front re-speed sway bar and i too have a gsl-se. But i need rear springs and colars to be ordered first lol
