AutoX summary on STX build--NOW FOR SALE!!!
 

Okay, here are the new rims, powdercoated Gunmetal. Setup is abt the same as the OEM setup, while being significantly wider. Car otherwise is completely stock.

Although it looks a 4x4 (ASTs can't come soon enough).

2 best recorded runs (got PAX on 1st run). Car is wicked loose @ times (see vid 2 @ the end of the sweeper). I went 1/2 sec quicker in fun run, but I let my 108whp Miata-driver buddy have 4 back-to-back fun runs w/ it. He went quicker than me. He is very fast (and 60lbs lighter), but still bummed he went quicker. He couldn't go quicker than me in my GT-R though--so I'm still learning the momentum thing; as I've always had high-HP cars--never a momentum car...

Dam dude ur flying.. Great runs

^^^

Thx, but definitely room for improvement learning this momentum thing... lol

3rd event--starting to get the hang of it. Had PAX, until my competitor stormed out of nowhere (and I mean nowhere) to pip me on his last run. Dangit! Was off FTD by 1.3 secs to DP car.

Car still all stock except rims/tires & now lightweight batt. This thing is going to ROCK in full STX trim!

Not sure why it's not embedding.

nice run

those rims are really growing on me too..was all about the Enkeis but now u got me thinking

My STX status is still quite lame (I got nothin' on Scooby South lol!), as all I've added to the car is an Injen intake since the last installment. BUT, I have a Motiv over & front catted pipe waiting to go on, along w/ a Nameless catback soon to arrive. Tune to follow.
MCS coilovers are on their way too, along w/ Vorshlag camber plates.

First event of '13 w/ the FAST group out of the Tampa area. I had a battle w/ our moderator Dave-ROR for 1st place in our class out of 6 cars (not sure what else was running w/ us, as we had them covered by a good bit).
I also had Dave covered by almost a second until he blazed his last run--in high fashion--by drifting on the turnaround & came within 2/10ths of me.

He's a sand-bagging Drift-King (not to mention very fast)! lol

looks like a pretty fast course. Assuming you were in second gear, how close to maxed out were you?

On the limiter twice & into 3rd on the way back after the 1st slalom.

8k redline FTW...;) good runs George...

Took 1st in STX again (2nd in PAX), today & top 10 out of ~60 cars. Added a Perrin pulley (can feel a touch better throttle response). Car is still virtually stock & am hoping all that's coming will make it better than I anticipate!
