I would go for the Auto-X. It'll probably be more fun being able to push your car to the "limit"

 

i really started to think about it...and im going to be in homestead dec 18th

 

I think your right but I dont have a helmet so I'm going to cross my fingers and hope my budy's helmet fits me (he has a bigger head then me...LOL). I'll register tomorrow or Friday.

 

i emailed them, they do in fact have loaner helmets free of charge. your welcome lol

 

You want to know the real sad part? I have an after market clutch and catless pipe. What does this mean? It means my *** gets put into the next class up which is I believe boosted fuggin cars so I'll prob look like I'm standing still...LMAO!!!

I think I might take off the clutch and get a stocker. The worst part is the flywheel is legal...Infact the tuning, intake, exhaust, ignition, and a high flow cat would all be legal. Even my 10 inch wide rims.

In summation I need a BHR midpipe with davesport cat and stock clutch. Grrr!

 

im not sure if they care about that.. email them to find out.
ive got the 4 speed auto-tragedy with k&n drop in and a ap midpipe. not sure where that would put me. i need to start saving up money so i could buy the tranny with clutch mod for my 8. lol

 

with no cat i believe that puts you in the same place as caveman. Now you guys can drive slow together

 

lmao. i havent dyno'd my AT, but from what ive heard and seen, 4 speed AT with midpipe and healthy engine can get 140-150whp (sad). 0-60mph in 10 sec (shame). but, autox is more about control, so i have a slight chance. lol

 

You could try the Florida Region SCCA last Autocross event of the year at Bank Atlantic Center sunday 11th.

Andres! How are you doing? Hows the family? I really want to go to this but I will be on the ocean on a cruise ship . Do you think you can make it to the one we mentioned above? It would be nice to hang out with you. Plus you can tell me how bad of a driver I am. I really want to learn.

Take care!

 

mind if i borrow your 8 while your gone? i got full coverage lol jk

 

That depends if you would consider amputating your sausage and biscuits?

P.S. I am registered!

 

The Club organizing the event on the 18th is not my favorite , I had bad experiences with them, but the Porsche club is having a great one in Dec.

Let's GO!!! I just finished registering for the event!



Guys...I think we need to make this into an EVENT...COMMON who's coming??

 

do I need to bring out the low rider pic again?

 

Sebring raceway? Hell yes!

 

I'm interested... I could make it on the 14th.
Definently going to look into running my car.

 

Well by looking at your sig, I definitely don't want you driving behind me lol.

It would be great if Andres could come out. I could really use all the help I could get. I feel like he's going to be the SFLA RX8 club driving instructor lol

 

What is required to run there? Is it like scca solo 2 ? What are dates and time?

 

Nah, don't worry about me... I'm a noob.
This would be my first track day.

It'll be my 4th autoX (2nd one on a track). I think I may be registering soon.

 

I see my name in posts...... Are you guys talking about me??? I don't want to read back to find out... Lol

 

Anyone have a fly swatter? I keep hearing this anoying sound...

 

Well ladies and germs my first Auto-X is now over and OMFG!!! We had 6 official runs and my best time during the official runs was 65.642 sec. I won 2nd place in my class and lost to a 350 Z but that dude was fast...Not sure what type of rubber he was rolling on. Ricky did awesome as well. His best offical time was 69.150.

During the fun runs I beat out the best BSP time (Both Rick and I were in c-stock) with a 62.01.

Cant wait till Sebring!!!! Who's coming???

 

today was SICK. apparently it isnt hard to drift a 4 port automatic if you keep it in manual mode (had a lot of fun doing so during my fun runs ;D )
if have to say some of the best $45 i ever spent. learned a lot and had a absolute blast. BY THE WAY, I BEAT CAVEMANS FIRST TIME OF AROUND 80 SECONDS WITH MY FIRST TIME OF 77! lmao
my first run i was being very careful learning the car better, caveman wouldve had a great first run but missed a turn and had to back up pretty far because of it (had to bro lol)
im not in as much of a rush anymore to get 6 speed, i may settle with a 6 speed auto setup if anything (much easier swap to do, and get the mpgs i want). I definitely feel like i have a new car after today though, the feeling of the driving was very satisfying. caveman even got a few 'pointers' from teddy. (lol just screwin with you man).
too bad no pics of us in action :/ ill get a car cam for the next event and hopefully we can get some good spectator pics too
