Awsome pictures. Looks like a bunch of fun.

I tried to sign up for that event a few weeks ago but it was already filled.

Cool man! I've been wanting to get involved w/that forever. Maybe I'll pay attention and go when next season starts. We'll see.
Let me know next year and maybe we can caravan down.

Just need those KYB AGX shocks for adjustability. Also some anti-sway bars. That'll clean up the dippin and divin.

Nice to see some other guys on this board go autoxing!

Bodyroll is pretty hard to get rid of on this car. I have Eibach Prokit, AGX (set to full stiff), and a S/T rear swaybar, and it still rolled like crazy on crappy all season rubber:



Here's some pics of me autoxing my other cars:

hey.. nice to see you drop in

yeah.. i love it, too bad the season just ended.

the small power steering reservoir makes for some "intresting" handling.

Hey, I drop in from time to time... posting just isn't my full time job here anymore.

Yeah, I don't enjoy slaloms in the CL just because the power steering can't keep up! The chassis is more than up to the task, but the driver can't steer quick enough without power steering.

I haven't been to any SCCA events since I joined NASA. $30 for the day, but they guarantee you 8 runs plus fun runs! Plus, their courses are faster and less technical, they're supposed to be the next step up to road racing.

The last NASA event of the season is this Saturday, for any of you NJ/NYC people! www.nasanortheast.org.
