  1. This is autocross.....price of the car doesn't matter in most cases...there are guys with $2k civics and $10-$20k worth of go fast parts......
  2. An under prepped BMW vs a very well prepped Civic, mind you.... OK, I see the game you're playing.....I have no defense either way....well played sir, well played :dumb:
  3. freaking hilarious Rich......remind me again, didn't I beat you at the last event? Ok, just checking :gabe: Oh, BTW --> http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=103303
  4. I can get you 15 or 20 H&R. I do not have them in stock, so you would have to pay 2 day or next day to get them here by then.
  5. Well, then the visual ques should help.....thanks for the heads up......sorry, I wasn't aware, OP.
  6. It's so hard to explain to someone in words how to drive a manual. Honestly, it's just a 'feel' for what the clutch is doing. Some manual cars are easier to drive than others too as you begin to drive different cars that have a manual transmission. You just need to practice, practice, practice, and after a while you don't event think about it anymore. Here's a good video that explains how a clutch works, that may help you understand what you are doing while you are driving. So basically, when you are 'slipping' the clutch you have not fully released the pressure plate to engage the clutch disc against the flywheel, which will eventually wear down the material on your clutch disc if you 'slip' your clutch all the time (watch the video(s) for everything in this paragraph to make sense )
  7. Heat #3 shots...and a few from Heat #2 http://gallery.ovr-scca.org/?Dir=%2FAutocross%2F2012/PE01+05-06-2012+Martin
  8. This is what I thought the OP needed it for....just as a shadetree/weekend warrior
  9. I've actually been very happy with the Harbor Freight Impact. Only the Central Pneumatic Earthquake line. It's surprisingly strong, and holds up well. Stay away from cheap Craftsman ones, they're crap! http://www.harborfreight.com/12-professional-air-impact-wrench-68424.html http://www.harborfreight.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/i/m/image_11115.jpg
  10. ....and right on cue, PE1 pics are up on his site ^^
  11. Yes, our 'resident' photographer, Bill took about 5000 shots (he's good) and he hosts them on his own site, and he likes to clean them up before he uploads. I will post here once they are up. Here's a link to where they will probably be uploaded to--> http://incom-racing.com/images/gallery/gallery.html
  12. Matt, thanks for taking pics :thumbup: This is for anyone who was running in Heat 2, BTW.
  13. they let you back on here again go sell your shit somewhere else...no one's buying here :dumb:
  14. I know, just a figure of speech
  15. no worries, just bustin' your balls :dumb:
  16. Yup, 146 total. Class results --> http://www.ovr-scca.org/uploads/ax_results/2012/01_fin_2012-05-06.htm PAX Results --> http://www.ovr-scca.org/uploads/ax_results/2012/01_pax_2012-05-06.htm
  17. what am I? chopped liver? :fa:
  18. Yeah, you will probably be in a 'modified' class. Perhaps A-Mod. Just ask the guys at tech and they will let you know. Yes, they still do the 'novice' championship, if you decide to compete in it for the season. Just list yourself as a 'novice' when you register.
  19. Yes, what engine mods do you have?
