NES Auto-X Enthusiasts

[mdungelman]

I know of the guys that head to SCCNH events, but who else has autocrossed? Anyone interested in trying it out a time or two this coming season?

[Evoeater]

Ive autocrossed before..there pretty much in my back yard when held at NHIS..But need to get the motor broken in before I can do it again..Lots of fun though..STICOP will be starting this year as well so we will probably see you there then..

[TurboRush]

Yah, I want to give it a shot this summer... I like humbling experiences.

[Nate8409]

It wont humble you. It could be frustrating at first if you think of it like that but with all the people around to help I doubt it will humble you.

Just remember that you can't go fast if you don't push the car.

[mdungelman]

Pushing the car to its cornering limits on a closed course is a great way to learn to drive it better. I've learned a lot just from watching, and after participating in 7 events.

[Robk0000]

i prefer pushing the car past its limits, its way more fun!

[mdungelman]

You mean like when you do a 180 into the stop box?:devil: But yeah, going past is fun too. Its just nice to have a safe place to do it.

[Robk0000]

that was intentional on the second run with nate, the first i didnt know was possible.

[Bu11dogg2]

I'm def interested :)

[Nate8409]

The first one was awesome. The one with me in the car even better. Big ole Brembos doing their thing LOL.

[Robk0000]

in combination with super bald tires. haha, that was fun.

[mdungelman]

Rob, did you get another set of KDW's?

[etaks99rs]

I will def be back for more this summer.

[Nate8409]

Let me rephrase. DON'T GET ANOTHER SET OF KDW'S!

Rob needs race rubber or as close to race rubber as he can get. Like maybe some used RE070's.

If I come up with the cash somewhere that is what I want to get. Finally get some race rubber.

Rob, did you get another set of KDW's?

[Robk0000]

i want to get another set of kdws. but im leaning more towards the Dunlop Z1's. Cheaper for larger tire, im going to try and get a package deal on Rota SVN's with 245's but i need to roll my fenders along with widening the tops of the wells.

[Murphy2012]

Mike just got a set of RE070s. I was going to get R comps for next year but I wont have the loot for them. Going to get another set of RT615s in 245 or 255

[dzkwrx]

would love to try this out. i have an auto tho. not sure if it will be worth it

[I8UR911]

definetly gonna give it a shot......NHMS isn't far from home either :)

[mdungelman]

Rob, 17x8 SVN's?

dzkwrx, don't worry about the automatic. its a good time to go out and play.

I8UR911, your car kicks ass. I'd like to see how it does on an autocross course.

[Robk0000]

yeah, im really drooling over them.

[Murphy2012]

Painting my autox wheels in the next couple of weeks.

[Evoeater]

NHIS is pretty much my backyard and I went to a couple of Auto Xs with my wrx but have yet with the STI cant wait to have it back together....

[mdungelman]

So you're just up the road from us, eh? We should meet up sometime. February Lakes Region meet?

[Evoeater]

ya sounds great!! My car could have been together this weekend but waiting for my oem overhaul gasket kit which has taken a month to come in..Still waiting for it!!

[Rooster]

Been auto-Xing for over 4 years thru SCCV. My auto-Xer is a 1982 Fiat X-1/9.

Currently working on a turbo motor for the Fiat, so the WRX is my plan B car.

Love the pic with the store! I know Russ from SCCV, hes got the Cobra Kit car, thing is silly nice. I also met a guy with a Red Integra, who is a great driver. His name is escaping me at the moment though. They have been both running with us at sccnh last yhear and a bit the year before.

[Nate8409]

Bad ass. Love the Fiat.

The Buggy looks awesome too. The STI wing just compliments the look of it really nicely.

[Rooster]

Thanks, I'll be painting the side skirts in the spring. That'll give it a nice clean flow.

[mdungelman]

I also met a guy with a Red Integra, who is a great driver.

That'd be Josh.

[Rooster]

I know Russ, and I think Josh. Russ is a great guy and the F5 Cobra is wicked fast and corners great. If I remember right, Josh blew up his Integra a while ago. Not sure of the status.

[mdungelman]

Well the last time I saw Josh last fall he had the car put to bed for winter. I believe everything was running correctly. Like Terry said, that guy can drive that car. It was great watching him drift the saturn in the last auto-x for sccnh.
