Pain in the butt thanks to UPS losing the package and me having the brilliant idea to work outside... but camber bushings in the knuckle are done and got us another degree of front camber. I backed it down to about -4.5 degrees. ARP studs as well, so now we also have 10mm of spacer on each side. Testing tomorrow at NNJR
Huge Congrats to Amy!! Job well done!! Glad she was able to pull it together after coning away some solid runs in previous days.
I was listening in on Saturday and Sunday. The STX action was so intense! Crazy to see the top 9 separated by .1 or .2 after a whole day.
As an additional frame of reference for weights, last year at the Charlotte tour, I weighed in at 2845lbs. I do have aftermarket seats and it's an S1 with all the "extra" heavy stuff still on it.
Yeah, she was pretty bummed but happy she found time on Sunday and then the challenge win obviously perked her right up! I hadn't realized it, but Amy had literally never won anything at autocross before, not even a class at a local event. Sheesh.
Thanks dude! That was wild. Even on Sunday I was leading at one point and I was so confused about what was even happening. Jon really laid it down to take the win though.
Considering where the two national champions ended up in STX results... I think we did alright haha.

Wow impressive camber numbers, that will feel great
*huge* front grip gains from the camber and spacers, haha. Struggled a bit with getting the setup where it needed to be now, but had great pace when I wasn't sideways murdering cones lol
I've been lurking the past several weeks and also bugging DocWalt . Picked up this 05 last week! 95k on it and well taken care of overall.
It's got a few bits and pieces to make it a better STX car. Racing Beat Renv2 tune, RB header, midpipe, and exhaust. OTS BC racing coilovers 8k/6k. Some Konig 18x9 Ampliforms with 245/40/18(too tall) Conti ECFs. SOHN adapter, BHR coils w/ Magnacor wires.
I wanted to do a build thread, but I think I need more posts lol. If this engine can last me another ~15k I'll be happy.
My build on this will be slow, but I'd like to do a Progressive 32mm front bar and the off-set knuckle bushings in the near future. Might be able to get out to an autox in July.
Welp, Amy & I both ended up second at the Brunswick Pro. Heavily weather affected after first heat (which was in itself a big mess due to the dust/pollen/grit on course). At least Amy and I can take away that we had awesome pace in the wet on Sunday AM and the car is working well! Too bad we both sorta messed things up on Saturday AM
They have to fit in two mirror-image courses, so unless it’s a really huge site then low - mid 30ish seconds is typical. They’re also heavily attended. If there are weather, timing, etc. issues on Sat it can run into near sundown conditions or have to finish on Sun, plus still fit in Sun and Challenge runs. A Pro Solo weekend can beat you down. Not so common now, but a few went into Monday to be completed. I want to say there was an event in Topeka that was shutdown due to unexpected snow showers and finished on a Monday back in the late 1990s - early 2000 period.
