Thanks, and I agree, kinda surprised at how few there were in this whole post!

Just went out a couple days ago with my buddy who's a good photographer, got theseyou can check out more of his stuff on his site: GPowas's Gallery

ummm... my uncle owns a very well known racing school so you could email him and ask about it, he just put in a new track about three years ago. However, not sure what he'd think about helping a potential competitor, i guess it never hurts to try...Jim Hall Kart Racing School

Damn, definitely gotta say the black wheels on green looks pretty sexy, I really like the one from the rear by the train tracks.Are those Dunlop Star Specs?

Not that big of a deal overall, a few psi won't matter. I run my tires around 35 psi on the street, but that can increase as much as 5 psi after a long drive. When I autocross I bump the rears up to about 40, the fronts to 37 as it makes the car handle more neutrally. If the pressure is too low...

Agreed, when they aren't stock, but my friend is and was running all season tires. There was another one there, stripped and running slicks and he got tenth place, beat me by a second. I think it only weighed 1700 lbs, so about half the weight of my beast... Anyway, my friend talked him up and...

No new upgrades since last event (replaced my steering rack and TRE boots and got an alignment since then) so I'll get right to the point.Hot weather meant an even playing field with a dry track for this event. Fewer drivers overall compared to the spring enduro, with a total of 38 this...

I'm pretty sure stock wrx injectors are 420s, which are smaller then our stockers... so yeah, just buy a new set

Awesome info from everyone, basically what I'm getting is that more mass is better because it absorbs more heat, so new rotors, new pads, and shims if possible will all help? And I have been looking at brake ducting, but it looks like it is kind of hard to fit a decent sized hose past the...

Yeah I know, kinda bringing this back from the dead, but I'm interested in this topic. I have hawk pads, ATE super blue fluid and ss braided stainless lines, and after about ten minutes of hard driving on some mountain roads my rotors were glowing white hot and my brakes were gone. The next day...

I didn't make it myself, but yeah, I like it because it is clean (can't say the same about my amp :/ ). if you have some fiberglass skills it would be possible to make one, I think mine was professionally made, but all it is is the box, two pegs on the bottom that slot into corresponding holes...

I think you should put on four spare tires! For real though, if you want to spin tires go with a cheap, thinner, smaller diameter tire, or go fwd. Spinning tires requires some power, I just put on some new Bridgestone RE-01Rs and I can't spin all four in a straight line in the rain in first...

The best way is to get them welded because bondo won't hold up as well over time. Welding is more expensive unless you can do it yourself, but it's not easy because of the thin metal and the need for a quality weld. Bondo will work ok but it can shrink around the edges and leave cracks, and you...

Not sure why that first section is showing up, it didn't when i previewed it...Also, the picture is of my brakes post SS brake line testing :)One last update: Final results were just posted up and I came in 18th overall out of 60 contestants, first in class ahead of four others...

Just had to say how great it feels to be racing again! The weekend started out sunny and warm, perfect conditions, and the event was maxed out at 60 contestants. I was in the afternoon practice session on Saturday, so i spent the morning wandering the pits, checking out a GT40 replica, some...

I love this because I have done probably three quarters of them! Making a friend crawl around trying to find the rattle? Try to deny that you have done that and i will call BULLSHIT! haha, and someone always comes up to me to inform me that I have left my car running...Oh, and same goes for...

Dick Hertz! haha, and my nickname is KAIBONE

Hey, no worries if you're stock, my car's slow too :) And yeah, definitely sometime later this spring, once the passes are clear and free of rocks, maybe a Green Springs run??BTW, for anyone interested, the autocross is near Medford, at Jackson County Sports Park on the Kart track, not in...

Reppin from K Falls! I've got a question - why doesn't anyone autox their dsm with me? I am the only one there and it's kinda lonely... Do I stink or something ? haha, seriously though, architechnik brought his out a couple times last year, lets see some more dsm domination! I do my best to...

WTF! People think that those stretched tires look good? I almost puked, but whatever, each to his own I guess. VW people are weird imho, what's with the rusted hoods too? Sorry for the rant :)PS. Can't wait for the snow to stop and my rt615s to go on!!!!

Got a ticket for doing 22 in a parking lot, in second gear. Clearly they had nothing better to do because there were three cars ahead of me in line, waiting to get their tickets as well. And why I was waiting they pulled over a skate boarder for speeding as well.Also got pulled over for...

Wingless. Like me :)

Pretty sure scrymerr agreed with me but for any other wishfuls out there this is from the motor trend link he posted"...hit 62 mph in just 3.6 seconds and top 124 mph in 10.15 seconds. The top speed is electronically-limited to 202 mph."it's not really that slow, aerodynamics has a lot to do...

Here's another car where form followed function a little too strictly and as a result should not be allowed in society for fear of causing uncontrolled vomiting in innocent bystanders... Check out that BEAK! It's fast though...

Yeah, I know but I thought this was highly unlikely so I googled it and other sites said it was kph. A Bugatti Veyron takes 24.0 seconds to hit 199mph yet still manages to hit 60mph a whole second faster than the Tramontana. The Tramontana simply doesn't have the aerodynamics or power to weight...

Definitely UGG in my opinion, but you gotta give it credit for being original. And FAST! although the speeds mentioned are in kph, not mph. Still, 0-120mph in ten seconds is pretty fast. What really makes me jealous though are its carbon/magnesium wheels! I would definitely take a Caparo T1 over...

just following the trend, I like them also, can't go wrong with a clean, simple five spoker. I don't know about weight and rigidity though, might be something to look into if you care about such things...

interested. Kinda far drive for me but might be worth it. is the track PIR? and are we going to get to lap it?

Have you looked at it out of the car? manually depressed the valve? could be stuck or something, but i don't think it's anything to do with your intake/recirculation. mine is recirculated with the stock hose and it is ####ing LOUD! So either your valve is messed up or you are not creating boost...

Falken rt-615, sizes 245/40/18, 255/40/18, 255/45/18, ranging from $156 to $200 per tire. These are max performance summer tires, very reasonable price for the performance. These are going on my car this spring as soon as autocross season starts.Falken AZENIS RT-615 Tires for Sale Online -...

Snowboarder714: you make a very good point...My seat saved me about 25 pounds, but if you want to spend some serious money you can get it in carbon fiberAnd just for the record, I don't think anyone here is trying to sell sparco products

Good post. ATE super blue and hawk pads for me too.

pinder91: Jealous! All my friends want me to get another seat but I can't justify spending that kind of money just so someone else can benefit from it.Whitedsm420a: sometimes I want reclining too, but fixed back puts you right where you need to be to drive fast, comfortably, and I have driven...

Here are some pics of my sparco rev, which is basically an older sparco evo. It's a pretty slim seat, I'm about 5'11" 155lbs, and it fits me pretty snug. I would recommend the evo2 for anyone over about 175, but you should really test fit before buying.You can see in one of the pictures that...

Agree with anschutz 93 and the last three posts. Corvettes handle great stock, the two fastest cars where I autocross are C4 corvettes. Granted they are heavily modified, but even the one stock one is much faster than my car...

damn nice! I love blacked out cars...

I like his final choice. I have a single sparco rev seat on sliders in my car and I couldn't be happier, it is definitely the best fitting and most comfortable racing seat that I have ever used. Plus it is fia approved.97gsx97: Why Brides? I sat in two different sets of brides and couldn't...

Just curious why you say that? To the best of my knowledge the two systems are identical, both having a 50:50 torque split and center and rear viscous coupling differentials. Unless you are talking about the automatic model? This has a variable torque distribution that I would call inferior to...

Ummmm.... pretty sure that sti isn't rwd, you can watch smoke pour from the front tires in several places, and no way would it launch as fast as it did in the beginning without any wheel spin. But anyway, congrats on the buy, wrx's are fine, and as always, AWD>FWD!!!!!!!

Agree. Plus that hex head on the top of the filter is amazing...

I think that torso length has more to do with how you fit than overall height. Also, just my 2 cents, but in my experience sparco makes the best seats, although recaro is a pretty reputable company as well.

The only rare part on my car, but it truly is one of a kind. I know this because I made it...

Couldn't have said it better myself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ummm... I don't think there is any charcoal in that thing, at least there wasn't in mine.It is a resonance chamber that deadens the intake sound so that the turbo spool won't annoy anyone (who? I dunno). I think that it also makes the spool a little smoother so that there is a flatter torque...

That link posted explains the different nipples pretty good, basically connecting the smaller nipple will help eliminate compressor surge and make it blow off quicker when you get off the gas.I took mine off and I could blow through the smaller nipple, so it was a boost leak on mine, but...

Thanks for clarifying that, I never asked about it but always kinda wondered how HIDs worked for hi beams. I originally wanted to get a set of HIDs for my hi beams because I didn't like the idea of my lows being brighter than my highs, but I guess I'll just have to live with having really bright...

Maybe because it was a left hand turn???? Nah, just kidding, I think it was a club rally or something where they give you notes beforehand and somebody made a mistake on them. Also, there probably were some who made it through, but they didn't show them because that wouldn't have been fun...

"The Art of Racing in the Rain" was pretty entertaining, if a bit strange (the story is narrated from the point of view of the racer's dog), but it was pretty accurate in terms of racing lore.Amazon.com: The Art of Racing in the Rain: Garth Stein: BooksHave you ever read EVO magazine? In my...
