CDC 3/30 wrap-up

We ran the morning session only....just a shakedown run to sort the car out and make sure it was consistent. We took about 500 pics...processing them now and will post some good ones.

makes me miss my '91 CRX (dude was hella fast today):


new Z06 swapping ends





stock suspension? and r-comps = drama:




nice to see an FD out there:



the 'ricer' of MINI's (check out the canteloupe launchers...it was quick though so it works ):














wicked fast older Z06 (maybe next time he'll remember 'stop garage' means STOP):

I didn't even run on mine. I left my A/S Falkens.

I was hoping you'd come out....we got a new camera yesterday and I refuse to read the manual

PGT - i was there! Probably didnt see me because i was driving my mazdaspeed 3.

Best time of the day was a 51.25 (may have been a 51.35, cant remember).

The ms3 rips at autox. Especially on r-comps.

Hey PGT I was the Ricer Mini. Did alot of goofing off during the runs also after you left on the last set of runs. I did a Smoky burnout for the heck of it. Best time For me was a 50.21. Also got Marina down to 53sec runs in the afternoon session in her GP0142

Was running a Set T1r in the size of 215/45/15. Even though my Sig shows engine mods. Recently I had the Engine return to stock condition.

oh and if this works here is a better shot of the canteloupe Launchers

nice times!! rcomps would get you into the 40's for sure.

53 for a clean run in the GP? no cones? I'd have thought Marina would be faster with her GP and driving school experience. This was my second auto-x ever and I ran the same time on brand new all-seasons. My front O2 is bad so the ECU was pulling timing and I never adjusted air pressure and left the shocks full soft The front end was pushing in many spots and the front tires rolled over too much and the back not enough. I think I could pick up a full second on suspension/tire adjustments alone, given how much time I wasted correcting the line from the understeer.

since it was 73F today, I put my A048's on to go for a spin. Yeah...I'm gonna need to stiffen up the suspension to take advantage of the new grip. surprisingly, the ride quality doesn't suck. if these weren't $1000/set and a 50 treadwear rating, I'd drive them every day April on.

times are up and posted on CDCs website. I did pretty good in raw time, but my PAX killed me. I also listed my car by accident at the wrong HP level, so that probably effected my index quite a bit.

I ran a 52.2 as my fastest time in my BMW. I was on 225/45r16 t1r's. I need more front camber (got camber plates, but they were missing parts to install them), and I'm waiting on rims so I can put my R888's on.

What are the PAX mulitpliers agian? I didn't write mine down so I'm not on there.
