Yeah, I know... WTF! I was like dude, don't yell at me, I heard good to go so I did what I had to do. I messed up once cause one of the dude picked up the cones, put it back and went back. I was like... I thought he was walking back to his spot.

I attended my first auto-x event a few weekends ago. I'll be doing pretty much each SCCA event we have locally, so long as it doesn't conflict with a NASA weekend.

Out here, NASA > SCCA

tigermack
08-28-2008, 09:08 AM
LOL My car is not a Porsche or Vette... I was thinking just getting LSD... clutch/lighten flywheel and throw some 17x9 if I can clear them with 265s on...

vincegoehn
08-28-2008, 03:48 PM
i dont let people i dont know drive... especially if they are slower than me :)

I had to take an AC bracket off my car.... but wait wtf my car doesnt have ac hahaha

tigermack
09-02-2008, 09:41 AM
I bet 99% of the people won't notice or realize what it's for.

vietnameeh
09-02-2008, 02:07 PM
hey as long as i feel cool it doesnt matter haha

vincegoehn
09-02-2008, 04:42 PM
I bet 99% of the people won't notice or realize what it's for.
Got pulled over once with an scca jacket on and the cop noticed and let me off the hook for whatever that's worth.
Still lookin' for a car though, any suggestions? Looking for rwd and not too expensive I'm leaning towards the e30 325's and gt-s corollas. But I may end up with another honda/acura

vietnameeh
09-02-2008, 04:53 PM
corolla gts would be good pick as it might be moved to FSP and with the new 255s out it might a be a killer...

e30 would also be a good choice... but they are little more money involved in building in my opinion i used to have one... but they handle amazing... but DSP is a crazy class...

what autox experience do you have vince .. if you dont mind me asking....

vincegoehn
09-02-2008, 05:42 PM

what autox experience do you have vince .. if you dont mind me asking....
I started back in 02' used to be pretty regular with the sac guys with a 95 civic coupe and then my car got rearended and in the middle of building my track car so I've yet to really get out the last couple years I was also working a lot to get my tower crane license so didn't have much time for it anyway..

Fsp is what I'd like to run in looks like a real fun class, and like you said dsp is definetely crazy, but I'm not sure how competitive I wanna get with autox just yet when I have a track car that's expensive enough.
I'm really leaning toward the gts, but they are hard to find

vietnameeh
09-02-2008, 11:49 PM
ya but the move hasnt been set... so the GTS is still stuck in DSP...
FSP is definitely fun class all kinds of cars have potential... civics (d15 egs and with a really good driver 96-00 civic hatch) especially. but ur looking at bmw 2002s datsun 510s vw sciroccos and rabbits, then u have newer cars that are suppose to be over dogs like FORD FOCUS and i think possibly the mazda3 can do alot damage if sumone decided to build one, then there are theories that an early mazda protege chassis with a newer protege motor can be a crazy build.... FSP is endlesssssss... and with the new big hoosiers that are out... it makes the game real interesting

and u need to try the SF region its where most of the big boys play :)

tigermack
09-04-2008, 12:27 PM
I am deciding to build my 3 or just get a Type R.

vietnameeh
09-04-2008, 01:56 PM
if u get atype r can i codrive one time :)

mack im telling u that lil toruqey motor ug ot then some big whole tires

tigermack
09-04-2008, 02:22 PM
I'd definitely let you co-drive, just don't beat me. LOL

I like the 3 but it feels like I am spending a lot more for something that already comes with the stuff I want for the 3... IE, Type R.

vietnameeh
09-04-2008, 07:25 PM
but slush and next year I'm not driving my car :) I'll be in a top dog car testing the new kumho tire :)

tigermack

vincegoehn
09-09-2008, 04:00 PM
Well I got a 325is pretty stoked! Can't wait to take it out. Unfortunetly it'd fall under sm with its 4.1 lsd, but like I said I wasn't worried about getting too competitive.. at least for right now

vietnameeh
09-09-2008, 07:57 PM
isnt still dsp legal? i thought one 325is came with a 4.10 lsd...

there was a guy who had 4.10 sorta quick... he reallly wasnt competitive more just a talker... hmmmm no wonder he was a illegal haha

vincegoehn
09-09-2008, 08:09 PM

Yeah I should double check then I was thinking they came with something longer

vincegoehn
09-09-2008, 08:22 PM
Well aparently some later 325's came with the 4.1 after all so I guess I'm dsp legal.. I'm gonna look more into it just to be sure

vietnameeh
09-09-2008, 08:37 PM
get it done so you can prove what you said earliar :)

tigermack

All in good time.. Just sent my payment to get my scca membership.

tigermack
09-12-2008, 01:05 PM
Mine is expired.

I might run FSP... =X I found some A6 at some banging price.

Psychoblue23
09-12-2008, 01:36 PM
If I keep the CRX Tiger what class would I run in if I added better springs and shocks.. cuz I dont feel liek buying stock replacements haha

vietnameeh
09-12-2008, 01:46 PM
whats done to it?

if it really is jsut sprigns and shocks you can run sts2... and jus tbolt ons meaning intake header and stock replacement cat, exhaust and chip
and still has all of the interior

vietnameeh
09-12-2008, 01:46 PM
Mine is expired.

I might run FSP... =X I found some A6 at some banging price.

maybe ill brign my car out for slush one round jstu to give u run :)

Psychoblue23
09-12-2008, 01:51 PM
The car is liek as high a mini van so I want to lower it. So other than that it would be 100% stock, full interior. minus the a/c cuz it didnt work

vietnameeh
09-12-2008, 02:01 PM
ya sts 2.....

super competitive class though haha

vietnameeh
09-12-2008, 02:10 PM
dayum u got the best chassis for sts2 which what i want 88 crx....

but sorry man.. i was wrong... looks like you have ZC motor that throws you in SM2 no matter what suspension yoru on stock or aftermarket

Psychoblue23
09-12-2008, 02:30 PM
and im guessing a n00b will get smoked in SM2 correct? lol

vietnameeh
09-12-2008, 02:35 PM
built vettes, boosted miatas.... crazy built rx7s :)


even a season driver in a FWD car will get stomped in sm2 where the big tire big power rwd cars come in

Psychoblue23
09-12-2008, 02:48 PM
oook fun runs it is! I dont see why I have to run in that class.. its jsut a a6 motor non vtec.. how is it that i have to run in that group?

Psychoblue23

vietnameeh
09-12-2008, 10:47 PM
a ZC motor was never offer in the US crx si.. that is why...

a D16a6 was offered... unless your block says d16a6 then your pretty much screwed.... but even if u ran STS2 ud prolly get owned by better drivers its best to drive in the right class

Psychoblue23
09-12-2008, 11:21 PM
bleh politics.. a ZC is the same as a A6 so I have no advantage

vietnameeh
09-12-2008, 11:28 PM
if your decent driver... you can still hang with regional guys....

sts civics put down fast times and thats all driver....


either way your not gonna be fast... it takes lots of seat time to compete...

soo if your really interested jsut come out and race... have fun

Psychoblue23
09-12-2008, 11:32 PM
well I have never autoX'ed seriously.. and I have trouble with depth perception cuz of my eyes, so I guess well see! haha

tigermack
09-12-2008, 11:43 PM
I ran sts2... I said fuck these civic's are too fast for me. Then I modded my way to FSP. hahaha

Psychoblue23
09-12-2008, 11:51 PM

09-13-2008, 07:34 PM

I will just run STS2 if I am you, i dont think anyone will bitch unless you start beating them. Also, if and by the time you can beat them, you will already have the datsun ready.

vietnameeh
09-13-2008, 10:08 PM
justin you and your brother just go halves on the mazda 3 and build a monster fsp car :)

tigermack
09-15-2008, 12:16 AM
Hell no, then he'd wanna drive my car during non-autox events, too.

tigermack
09-15-2008, 12:16 AM
Oh yeah, I forgot it was STS. I typed the 2 cause I was reading about it.

vietnameeh
09-16-2008, 08:58 PM
psycho just fair warning...

you may want to tell your competitors in the other forum about yoru ZC motor its not going to be good if you ruin people points with an illegal motor with them not knowing

its fine to explain that you have a ZC motor which you say is the same as an a6... and trust me the STS guys know their honda motors... so its best if you bring it up while people are reading your thread on our forum... just to sace your ass they wont mind as long as you explain to them

Psychoblue23
09-16-2008, 09:00 PM

I think I read something baout higher compression on the ZCR maybe someone can confirm.

vietnameeh
09-16-2008, 11:10 PM
haha before you get caught up in awapping an a6 back...

fuk it just run what u got.... and continue with your suspension plans and stuff...

when u start realizing that your finishing up top and goign to trophy ... that when youll run into trouble...

so in meantime build up what u had plan...
then when its time for the a6 to go in.... rebuild it so its fresh and bam you have competitive car... i envy you cause im dying fo r an 88 si right now

Psychoblue23
09-16-2008, 11:12 PM

How is Cliff's car? Whats the difference between his and yours?

vietnameeh
11-04-2008, 11:22 PM
his suspension is better than mine....

his car is maybe 200-300 lbs lighter

but the suspension is the big thing....

my car is just as stiff spring wise... but he just has better everything after that...

otherwise power he may have a little more since im still obd2 and no real tune...

if i stay fsp my build should be very quick
i just need a fresh tranny from a hatchback so i can get a longer 2nd gear.. and go obd1 with raised rev limit and then my 255 hoosiers :)
FSP should be interesting but not with that white civic hahaah

vietnameeh
11-04-2008, 11:22 PM
ooo and i need to cut my hair, its slowing me down ahhaha

11-04-2008, 11:29 PM
damm I just read the STS part of the solo rulebook...... they don't mess around!

correct me if I am wrong but a MPFI swap would be considered an illegal engiene modification? correct?

damm I just read the STS part of the solo rulebook...... they don't mess around!

correct me if I am wrong but a MPFI swap would be considered an illegal engiene modification? correct?

nope mpfi would be illegal in sts

you can however swap to all the Si goodies and run CSP

or just swap a bseries and run SM :)

fireant
11-05-2008, 10:11 AM
When you're starting out, it wont matter what class you are in... its just going to be all about you vs. you for a long time.

I'd let a SOHC ZC run locally against me as long as I knew it had an Si trans, and probably an MPFI-converted DX with a DX trans. It never hurts to ask the local STS/2 crew if its ok. As long as you arent taking away their championship points, it shouldnt matter to them.

vietnameeh
11-05-2008, 10:50 AM
it would be fine with us...

hes in the SF region... we are one of the biggest regions for SCCA... and we have a goo dbunch of sts guys ... top STS guys in the country kevin mccormick and katie elder...

but i think all hes runnign are to local clubs... so it wouldnt matter tronsteez... most of those UFO guys run in the wrong class anyways

tronsteezz
11-05-2008, 12:43 PM
cool I have been wanting to get out to one of those events but school and working on sidejobs is killing my free time. I wanted to go to the marina event this sunday but I will be in LA for the weekend.

maybe Ill catch some of you guys next time......





oh, afterthought: the auto club at my school (EVC) wanted to do a deanza inspired event, but on a smaller scale...... I don't know if we have the parking lot space tho........

vietnameeh
11-05-2008, 10:19 PM

You suck! We want to race against you in FSP in the future. lol

vietnameeh
11-06-2008, 07:04 PM
ya i have feeling my car wont be competitive, they are moving alot of cars down to fsp which might make things kinda scary....

ae86 is coming back
other cars like the frikkin b13 sentra might too

justint5387
11-06-2008, 07:24 PM
Will the Mazda 3 be competitive?

vietnameeh
11-06-2008, 10:14 PM
yes....

you guys can fit fat tires easy...

and make big power and torque compared to us lil single cam pussies

justint5387
11-06-2008, 10:16 PM
So you are getting a Civic Si like Cliff's? I bet you just need to copy everything he has, that car/driver combo is fast!

vietnameeh
11-06-2008, 10:53 PM
well i cant find a clean one or one i want... everything i find needs lots of work... which im not ready to do right now...

if not i might look into 88 crx... and shut those sts2 miatas up

tigermack
11-06-2008, 11:21 PM

Yeah, I just read it. IMO, Dennis Hale has a very short fuse, he sent Mack a page long of bitching after Mack sent him an email about when the results will be up.

11-11-2008, 11:27 AM
him and his little followers are gay... tj and fag father leadfoot, he was talking how hes gonna build his car to beat andy mckees rx7 even though hes never ran an scca event but he beats everyone at ufo.

ROFL.... Beating Andy McKee's FD...... What car is he building? He might beat Andy when he is running with donuts. Do you know what is their "problem" with SCCA? They seem to be a bunch of bitches that didn't get they want from them.

11-11-2008, 11:39 AM
dennis use to be a big part of scca then his ideas and his attitude didnt mesh well then he acted up and he didnt get kicked out he kickd himself out at least thats wat i get from listening to some of the older scca guys

tigermack
11-11-2008, 09:30 PM
lol... I think I still have the email that he sent me. I was like o_O wtf? I just wanted results...

HAHAHA beating Andy McKee's... lol cough I choked on my pringles.

vietnameeh
11-11-2008, 11:33 PM
ughh... yaa i apparently he thinks andy shows up to our events hahah...

if u go on the forum read his posts... everytime he talks about setting his car up he refers to catching andy

vietnameeh
11-11-2008, 11:50 PM
i think the funny thing is... he called everyone slow drivers in that thread... but i was only 3 second slower in a car ive never driven it was on wanna be yokohama r comps... and my civic would of been fast on that course...

and everytime andys come out hes put at leas ta good 6+seconds on me... this guy just has a big ass ego cause he beats everyone at UFO events... actually alot of UFO racers have a big ego... as you can see in that thread

haha punk bitches

so mack and justin nationals next year :)

11-12-2008, 12:08 AM
Haha... I wish we can do Nationals, maybe in 2010. We need LSD/Clutch/Flywheel and V710. Are you going to Nationals with Cliff? What car does that guy drive? A turbo miata in SM2?

vietnameeh
11-12-2008, 12:14 AM
ughhh i dont know yet. My plan as of now is go, but idont know if i can save up enough to go like 3k (entry,food,lodging,gas,towing)

ya he drive a turbo miata... hell be on 275s next year... and from what i remember hes gonna come race with us next season... hes fast... but he thinks hes like really fast

justint5387
11-12-2008, 12:17 AM
Yeah, $3000 is a lot. That's why 2010 is probably more likely, one more year to prepare the car and improve our driving. Probably see how we do in the 2010 Divisional first, no point of going to Nationals if we can't even win the Divisional.

vietnameeh
11-12-2008, 12:41 AM
im just going just to experience it while im still young haha... then eventually go back when im older and more mature haha

vietnameeh
11-12-2008, 12:47 AM
but my 3k budget might change.. to less cause... since it will be at lincoln... cliff will go..

i think 3k was just for me to go and bring the car

justint5387
11-12-2008, 12:48 AM
Oh i see, that sounds right. It makes much more sense to co-drive a car.

11-12-2008, 12:50 AM
STS is one tough class in Nationals tho. It is like Spec Civic Si

vietnameeh
11-12-2008, 12:50 AM

vietnameeh
11-12-2008, 12:51 AM
ya i get a whole year in that car.... so ill learn as much as i can...

but id really hope kevin mccormick will show up to our events so i have something to really work for

justint5387
11-12-2008, 12:52 AM
I can't imagine a surface worse than Monster Park... I wish we still have Atwater, that place was great.

vietnameeh
11-12-2008, 01:27 AM

Hot lap autox is soooo cool! We do that with the porsche club sometimes.

I have decided to ditch STS2 after being in the class since 2004. I'll be officially running T-XP (Street Tire, Unlimited Prep). Though my car will also work as CSP, DP, or SM2, I'm just not going to worry about classes for a while and see how it goes. I've got a few cheap mods I've always wanted to try out on the car... nothing permanent unless I want it to be.

11-14-2008, 06:18 PM

I've only done divisionals a few times, and after doing one HPDE/TT day, I've realized the cost/seat-time ratio of autocross only makes sense for me at the local $20 level. I love autocross, but the whole ordeal of nationals is not worth it to me, especially since I dont appreciate the social aspect of it as much as most people do.

justint5387
11-15-2008, 05:53 PM
The cost of tires/gas/hotel is much more expensive for HPDE/TT, that is something I do 3 to 4 times a year at the moment. I will probably be a dedicated TT driver in the future and auto-x when there are big events.

vietnameeh
11-15-2008, 08:39 PM
my main goal was to run Honda challenge by the time i got out of school...

but after doing finance work on how much i would need... i said no ....

and i wasnt going to do HPDEs as I was lookign for competition and not comparing times to other HPDE people... cause theres no pressure.

thats when i turned to autox and quickly learned that its what i like... rules, competition, and soon learned how hard it is to go fast... 2-3 hpde is enough to fund a whole year of local competition.

I thought Time attacks would be cool than i read the rules... hahaha man kinda dumb...

I do my racing on a budget so I can afford to do it often:

Local autocrosses... 3 clubs in my area put on monthly events for $20. I can usually make 2 if nothing is going on.

One-day track days... PCA and S2k and BMW clubs are the most likely to have these. You go to the track, do 3 half-hour open sessions, then do your timed hot laps, then go home. All done.

Autox practice days... One club has them here. $20 gets you as many runs as you want. I do about 20 before I start worrying about killing my tires. This is a great time to test new setup ideas.

11-16-2008, 07:26 AM
is the texas region competitive?

11-16-2008, 08:40 AM
Yep. I'd say we are. Lots and lots of top drivers come from Austin, Houston, Dallas clubs.
