Blue smoke is either valve seals or turbo, both were just rebuilt, one isn't right. Bad idle is because my ISC just died last week. I got a replacement the night before but didn't have tools to swap it out. |

Should have told me, I had everything needed with me. Could have done it during the first run group.

Re: The Great Autocross Mega Thread!
This is me failing at steering, but a cool pic:
Barely missing a cone in the slaloms:
And another:

There are a lot of pics of every car in that album. I saw several pics of s1ngletracker's and spaz's cars.

Re: The Great Autocross Mega Thread!
The majority of pics of my car are from my last run of the morning right after I took out a ton of cones, one of which ripped my side skirt almost completely from my car, so you can see it flopping around. 
I almost fell over laughing when I got out and saw it hanging there.

I didn't want to register before I did the novice school... and registration is full, so not me. I may come to watch though.

Re: The Great Autocross Mega Thread!
Show up early and get on the waiting list, they've never had to turn someone away.
I won't be there because I can't afford it.

Re: The Great Autocross Mega Thread!
Anybody want to go to Marshalltown, IA this Sunday?
http://www.motorsportreg.com/index.c...374EF39BFD1189
EDIT: I see it's cheaper if you're a "member", same with MAC events. A member of what, the SCCA or the local club?

Re: The Great Autocross Mega Thread!
With MOWOG events its cheaper if you're a MAC member; a MAC membership costs $30/year. Being a member also allows you to attend the test & tune days.

Re: The Great Autocross Mega Thread!
Damn, I didn't realize Andrew went to the novice school. Hope you enjoyed yourself and will come to future events.

Re: The Great Autocross Mega Thread!
Definitely enjoyed it, most fun driving ever. I will come to events, as soon as I'm back up there in June.
Question for anyone: I have an adjustable front swaybar, what setting would make it understeer less? Tight or loose? Right now it's on the loose setting. I have an RM 21mm bar in the rear, this is a suspension techniques 19mm front. Right now I have stock-ish spring rates, but thinking of switching to the stiffer ksports.

Re: The Great Autocross Mega Thread!
Loose should make it understeer less. It makes the rear provide more of the roll reistance and makes the rear tires work a little harder.

Re: The Great Autocross Mega Thread!
Can you adjust your rear bar stiffer?

Re: The Great Autocross Mega Thread!
Softer front and/or stiffer rear will help induce oversteer. Just the opposite will make it turn less.
