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)

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.

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, 09:25 AM

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

Dave: Congrats on getting your BRZ.

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.
