Autox.. Car did fine. I sucked beyond belief though lol

Launching the car with these tires requires quite a high clutch drop. I need to edit and upload video of the runs I have.

Steering feels unchanged in all regards.

Cool. Good to hear. Just a couple more weeks for mine to arrive.

Nice car. I'm going to autox this weekend for the first time

Not with an 86 though lol.

Why do you say you sucked? I'm looking forward to that video.

Hmm I guess I should trim the videos and upload them then eh?

<< lazy.

I say I sucked because I think I hit more cones in one event than I have in the last year of autocrossing. I kept nailing them with the inside rear tire.. maybe it's a bit wider than the Integra and I'm not accounting for that well enough

Also my fastest clean run had me so far behind the course.. and lots of sliding/oversteer.. just bad driving.

Here's a link to results of the event: http://drivefast.org/results/current-season/ by time and class (class shows every one, time shows best run. #10 in terms of fastest times, not bad considering most of the above are R compound guys and very well modified Miatas)

blur · 06-12-2012, 02:36 PM

Maybe the RWD component of this car caught you off guard lol

Nice to see a Datsun 2000 at the top of that list! I had a 68 2000 up until about a year ago. I'm sure that one was seriously modified.

That's also Elliott Harvey. He likely could have won with a Yugo.

Oh here's some runs that I had on tape. As you can see I was NOT smooth at all and I was behind A LOT. I haven't autocrossed since November but still.. not a good showing for me. My turn around at the end always sucked too, always went too fast... anyways.. oh yeah I also forgot to turn off traction control/vsc in the first run, hence the one hand driving for awhile.. other hand holding down the stupid button lol Run 3 was my fastest clean run, someone run 2 didn't count and I wasn't told about a rerun.. :shrug: too one at the very end which was the 52.x run, but no video.

Run 1:

Run 2:

Run 3:

Run 4:

Lot of familiar names still up there...and of course Elliott at the top. So your worst driving in years in a car you haven't driven in anger puts you at #10?

ESBjiujitsu · 06-14-2012, 07:25 AM

bravo sir bravo!!!!!

honestly the best look i have seen yet. Perfect size rims....perfect rims....great color!!! I love it!!!! really stunning~!

Because I know for a fact I could have done clean mid 52 second runs in it.

Ryephile · 06-14-2012, 01:18 PM

Dave: Congrats on getting your BRZ.

n2oinferno · 06-14-2012, 10:29 PM

I just went through this thread, and now I'm wondering if the heated seats sucking is a safety thing, lowering max temperature or something. It's no secret that the NHTSA has investigated seat heaters at least a couple of times, due to people getting third degree burns. Although I thought most seat heaters cut off after they got hot.

The car looks wonderful though. Autox looks like a blast.

just86 · 07-16-2012, 10:53 PM

so how about daily driver for these tires

What the AD08s?

I've been DD'ing them since I've gotten them, great tires. I DD them on my other car too.

Installed the homelink mirror the other day (no point is posting anything about it here) and the Impreza bumper protector (fold out one). They sell the proper BRZ one in Japan, cheapest I've seen has been ~$300 shipped. The impreza one is $55-60 bucks and is slightly too large for the trunk opening but it works fine.. I should post pics of that I guess.

BAE · 07-19-2012, 08:25 PM

Hi Dave,
I planning on the same wheel/tire combo as you. I have had RPF1's and AD08 on other cars and are very happy with them. The question that is spinning in my head is whether I should go 225's or 235. I will be my daily driver and I will use the car for track days with the same tires. I think about steering feel, weight of tires and how fast they heat up. What is your opinion?

xjohnx · 07-24-2012, 01:49 PM

Nice to see a fellow HT ITR refugee. Been a while! Your car looks great. I'm thinking about the same wheels on my SWP Limited.

M-17 · 07-24-2012, 02:35 PM

Haha, just read up on your AutoX update with the BRZ, I guess you''ll be known as the...
