I was 12 GS in some of the pics....I saw you sideways...I was working the course at Section one...I was worried you were going to duff it into the grass...

From what I could tell...you had at least an intake....sounded nice....

What mods/tires do you have?

[jcr557]

everythings stock on the car, only thing i have is an si muffler. uploading the video now

lol you must of seen me sideways cause all them turns were to close, my very first run in which i was doing all good they pulled out the red flag cause of some dude that decided to go on the track on a bike with some dog, dunno if you saw that.

I meant the ASM guy running in the pro class sounded like he had the intake...and was completely sideways
He seemed to be overdriving the car...but had the biggest damn smile on his face every time he went by, and that's what it's all about.

I got down in the 62s...not bad for my class...I was less than 2 secs behind that blue tinted first gen Cooper S on race rubber...and I was on worn Ecstas...I think with tires I could definitely catch him.

Go for a ride with Anthony at the next event if he has a comfortable lead and the pressure is off. He took me for a run back at the 4/20 event and it blew my mind how much of a difference his tires and his black magic custom shocks made...

yea i know, i had 4 of my friends there that cruised to warminster with me, each one got a ride with me and they all told me if i had tires, i could deffenitly do better. the 3 si's finished 60 63 and 64 and im 11 cars behind

i'll be at the may 18th and june 1st one, hopefully by then i've receive the other wheels and tires im buying tomoro so i can waste mine for now and keep the other ones for daily driver. im still looking at tires to buy tho, i might mount them on this other set of ex wheels im buying.

what kind of tires is anthony running with?

Technically, that's what autocrossing is all about... Except at Warminster.

Given the proximity of spectators, who are usually sitting down on the side of the course and, knowing how much speed I personally can carry through entire sections there, it is always on the forefront of my mind and it worries me at Warminster when novices just go all out, especially those in very powerful cars that can get to 60 much quicker than my Civic LX...

Come on, it's HS...you can't be going THAT fast.

I'm going to desperately beg the wife to let me do the 5/18 Boeing event. But after running Fed Ex last weekend and tomorrow, I think 3 consecutive weekends is pushing it.

Nice comment, ass.

As for Boeing, I've never been there, but from videos and non-Philly Region members who made the trip once (and usually only once) I've seen it's like running in a backyard... It's small but it's local for a lot of the membership.

I actually ran faster than HS for a change last time, but obviously got killed in PAX. Stupid Jeff Jacobs.

And yes, Boeing is a postage stamp of a lot and generally only good if happen to live close. Definitely not worth a long drive, at all. But I do like that the courses are generally tight with several slow spots that you have to accelerate out of...which is where my massive low end torque (compared to most of the class) and lack of turbo lag (because I don't have one) along with short gearing actually give me an advantage against others.

Very well then.

I regularly run stx at CPR, i have an intake -2 camber up front, rear sway and 235/40 falcons on 8" rims.

I'll admit i was playing, i had 2 friends with me that had never seen auto-x before so i was giving them some "thrill rides" i should have had a 59run

That course was one of the funnest i have run on in along time, i had a blast even though i didn't have a clean run.

[jcr557]

i wont be attending boeing on may 18th.

warminster is always fun, specially cause its a longer track than usual.
