Sooo this is what I've been up to lately. Season started little over a month ago which is why I haven't been on here very much lately. I am now an instructor for this regions BMW AutoX club and I have events just about every weekend, some back to back. Also been tuning my car(alignment) and my co-drivers RSX-S(suspension & alignment).

Anyways, here some pics from this season so far.






^My RSX co-driver running my civic, and 3 wheeling it, since his car was out of commission(below)



^ after this event, my friend was driving his RSX back home and his driver side front wheel came off. Luckily he noticed it making a thumping noise and was going slow so damage was terrible, but still sucked. Somehow the lug nuts sheered off the threads on the studs and let loose...




For the fix, new/painted fender, he decided on a whole new set of wheels and tires, and new studs and lug nuts. 16" Sparco wheels, 225 Kumho XS tires, ARP wheel studs and Gorilla lug nuts.
With the new gear. A little tripod action


My co-driver



So far I'm leading points with all the clubs(4 clubs) I'm running with in both cars. This past weekend I took first in class and beat my co-driver(took second) by 2.6seconds.

 

Some nice shots there.

I hope to bring my car to a autocross soon.

 

Hey, that RSX, your friends car.
I see he has a video cam on it, any video's you want to share?

 

Wasn't sure if anyone would be interested in video which is why I didn't post them. We get video from all our events. When I run his car, we use both of our cameras. He runs his in-car camera mounted on the windshield giving a passenger perspective and I usually mount mine outside the car somewhere. Unfortunately, in those pictures my camera was acting up and I only got my co-drivers first run. BUT, it showed a little drifto action lol.

Here's that video. The lot was freshly paved in spots which actually made it like driving on ice. Car's were spinning left and right, up to 4 times in a single run lol. That's why he got a little sideways so easily on this video.

ok that's enough, esp if anyone watches all those lol.

Please, if anyone here AutoX's even somewhat frequently, POST UP!!! I'm interested in pics/videos and can give you feed back if you're a noob to it. I would have posted this in the Autocross/Roadrace section but it's dead in there. I'd love to see people running their cars.

 

yea i want to do it, but im so busy never have time.

 

Some nice runs there.
The only prob i have is just 1.
How the hell do you know where the turn with 60 cones on the ground.

 

^walk the coarse before/study the coarse map. And experience helps.

 

Yeah everyone walks the course before they start runs. it's hard, even for a very experienced person, to run a course without walking it first. There are also directional cones on the course to show which way to turn and go. They are the cones that are laying on their sides, you look at them as arrows.
