And I thought this was cool:
Hopefully there's some of me in motion that somone took on one of the days.
Saturday - 11 runs
Sunday - 10 runs
edit: I'll post some comparison times up here once they are posted on the regional site. I know that driver skill is a large part of it all, but at least it'll be a "comparison" of how the car (slightly modded) compares to other good and known drivers!

Oh sorry, should have posted what I have.
JIC coilovers
Falken FK451's 245/40/18 on stock rims
JB Welded sway bar link (actually held up )
I did do a datalog with the wideband a/f meter on one run.... I just gotta get the data out of the box.... I'm just too tired right now.
edit: moved to photo gallery, as it's not really a "racing" topic yet!

Have you played with any camber adjustments for autox? Is there an optimal setup that could be used for both autox and regular road over the stock setup? Thanks..

Hopefully I can get in next week for alignment at a good old school place.
I do need a baseline reading to do anything with, but so far, with the 1" drop...
Rear camber is too much, autox it's impossible to get the edge of the tire, unless you drop like 8 lbs over the fronts, not a good setup IMHO.
Fronts could use a bit more camber, I'd say 1-1.5 degrees more neg camber, as the outer edge of the tire wears faster than the inside, even when hitting the edge of the tire with proper tire pressure at a closed event. And that's normal, but it seems like it's a bit more wearing on the outside 1/2 than other setups I've tuned.
Maybe neutral toe up front, and... ugh... was it just a tad of toe out in the rears.
However, this might make the car twitchy on the street/hiway/public road, and only should be considered for racing applications
It'll take some time to get the car completely dialed in, but also remember that I'm running coilovers, so stock setups may not benefit from my research.
