im just saying that its impossible to say you have only driven at about 80% if you have never driven at/past the limits. if an autox isnt the place to do that, i dont know what is.

The setup at that venue unfortunately has walls but the track setups are such that you're never driving hard towards a wall without a lot of runoff room.

That wasn't actually autocross but the "Mini time attack" setup. In two weeks they will be running an autocross but I'll be out of town at Dixie National tour.

i think i know what you mean when you say what you do, but to clarify, i would say that 80% would be my personal comfort zone and not 80% of what the car is capable of. like you said its impossible to know the limits if you havnt been there or exceeded them so yes, i have no clue where those limits are....yet =)

i will definitely be excited to do that autocross in two weeks tho!!

I've been reading up a little on SCCA Autocross. I'll have to check it out one day. I'm less anxious about it compared to what I observed at CFRC Saturday Night.

SCCA is a lot more fun (to me), more structured, more competitive. And this coming from someone who pretty much runs the CFRC event lol

HJC AR-10 II Full Face SA2010 Rated Helmet - White
I got the rated helmet because some autocross and road courses require it. I got white cause my wife liked it, and I figured it wouldn't get crazy hot if I set it down in the sun. You can find black in most helmets and then the color choices drop off quick.

Matching your car should be easy, it seems like they all come in white. This site really has the most info: racinghelmetguide.com The helmet sizing section is very thorough. The site links to a vendor with good prices. Be sure to use the promo code for 10% off.
SoloRacer.com Coupon Code: 2013helmetsale

On topic: I did look up your coilovers, nice stuff for a nice price. I'll stay stock for now, then get stickier tires when it's time to replace. Then I'll see if I want to go further.

Do you mean height wise or dampening wise?
