I would go for the Auto-X. It'll probably be more fun being able to push your car to the "limit"

You want to know the real sad part? I have an after market clutch and catless pipe. What does this mean? It means my *** gets put into the next class up which is I believe boosted fuggin cars so I'll prob look like I'm standing still...LMAO!!!

I think I might take off the clutch and get a stocker. The worst part is the flywheel is legal...Infact the tuning, intake, exhaust, ignition, and a high flow cat would all be legal. Even my 10 inch wide rims.

In summation I need a BHR midpipe with davesport cat and stock clutch. Grrr!

lmao. i havent dyno'd my AT, but from what ive heard and seen, 4 speed AT with midpipe and healthy engine can get 140-150whp (sad). 0-60mph in 10 sec (shame). but, autox is more about control, so i have a slight chance. lol

Andres! How are you doing? Hows the family? I really want to go to this but I will be on the ocean on a cruise ship . Do you think you can make it to the one we mentioned above? It would be nice to hang out with you. Plus you can tell me how bad of a driver I am. I really want to learn.

Take care!

Well by looking at your sig, I definitely don't want you driving behind me lol.

It would be great if Andres could come out. I could really use all the help I could get. I feel like he's going to be the SFLA RX8 club driving instructor lol

Well ladies and germs my first Auto-X is now over and OMFG!!! We had 6 official runs and my best time during the official runs was 65.642 sec. I won 2nd place in my class and lost to a 350 Z but that dude was fast...Not sure what type of rubber he was rolling on. Ricky did awesome as well. His best offical time was 69.150.

During the fun runs I beat out the best BSP time (Both Rick and I were in c-stock) with a 62.01.

Cant wait till Sebring!!!! Who's coming???

today was SICK. apparently it isnt hard to drift a 4 port automatic if you keep it in manual mode (had a lot of fun doing so during my fun runs ;D )
if have to say some of the best $45 i ever spent. learned a lot and had a absolute blast. BY THE WAY, I BEAT CAVEMANS FIRST TIME OF AROUND 80 SECONDS WITH MY FIRST TIME OF 77! lmao
my first run i was being very careful learning the car better, caveman wouldve had a great first run but missed a turn and had to back up pretty far because of it (had to bro lol)
im not in as much of a rush anymore to get 6 speed, i may settle with a 6 speed auto setup if anything (much easier swap to do, and get the mpgs i want). I definitely feel like i have a new car after today though, the feeling of the driving was very satisfying. caveman even got a few 'pointers' from teddy. (lol just screwin with you man).
too bad no pics of us in action :/ ill get a car cam for the next event and hopefully we can get some good spectator pics too
