OnlyOnThurs 04-18-07 08:23 PM

i did ehh.....out of the 10 cars in my class i came in 7th i think lol....i beat a new LOTUS EXIEGE that was in my class (he got last place i think)!!! i was happy about that. Poor guy didn't know how to drive it.

twinkletoes 04-18-07 08:32 PM

Thats a bummer for the guy in the lotus. Good job, looks fun.

Nice job Marcello. :bigthumb: Dont fret, I finished DFL (dead fuckin last) at my first event (1998). :mad: I came back and not only won races in my class the next year but also won the regional championship. :D

You looked pretty smooth, a definate key. Mimimal tire squeal.

Openshot, its a real blast.

Paradox 04-18-07 10:42 PM

kudo's man. auto-cross is a blast and these cars are great for it.

FormulaBUff 04-18-07 11:16 PM

I'm looking at buying a car to start autocrossing. I'm in particular looking at a 1980 RX-7 and curious how they do in the autocross and other solo2 races?

Frostycrowd 04-18-07 11:45 PM

Im really excited to autox my rx7. I have 3 seasons of experience in my dads mustang and my zx2. I would tear the field up pretty well in my zx2 considering. I bought my rx7 to autox and am going to be running FSP.

MtotheIKEo 04-19-07 12:09 AM

What have you done to your car? Im going on Saturday and am trying to figure out what class I need to be in.

dj55b 04-19-07 12:15 AM

looking good ... to be honest i think i wouldget lost on my first auto X ... lol ... maybe i just have to experience to know how things go, but looking at just camera angles it seems hard to remember which way you have to go ... unless they give you like a little map before you start to help things out

Naegleria_Fowleri 04-19-07 03:01 AM

I really wish my work schedule didn't conflict with every single autocross here in Indiana. Man, I would absolutely love to get out there, even if that meant going out there in my Jetta while my Rx7 is down.

Kentetsu 04-19-07 04:44 AM

Looks like you had a good time man. Welcome to your latest addiction! :)

VPTUNING 04-19-07 08:48 AM

I have PART of my exhaust upgraded. My good friend Allen (13B-RX3...the guy tht has a 450hp RX-3 ) rebuilt my nikki carb and tuned it to where i have some more power than just stock form. During the AutoX, I was running with slicks :) . All in all she is basically stock with a few exceptions

dj55b 04-19-07 11:28 AM

really eh running slicks on there ... thats why we didn't hear too much sqeeking
