Dr. Apex Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 The civic should be fun, I saw what they are capable of in the right hands so I know they can be fast with the right nut behind the wheel, either way it will be fun. I have a couple cars in mind, one I'm pretty dead set on as I've always wanted one but I won't speak until it's a done deal as I get ahead of myself sometimes.

Chief8one Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Kicking myself for not signing up, but I figured I should relax and give this comprehensive final my all. But thanks for the offer Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you are talking about a 04-05 Jetta GLI. Throw an offer out on mine and I may take it :thumbup: Edit: Grayson, Maybe sometime else this summer.

Dr. Apex Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Jerry, $1000?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Apex Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Well, I just watched my Laser drive away!! As much as I wanted it to go I hated watching it leave. It was my 3rd dsm and I have always loved the cars and this one was a lot of fun, I'm sure most of us on here have had this type of attachment to a car at some point. Nice thing is the Laser should be back for the June 15th event as the new owner wants to try his hand at autocross!! Back on topic: I look forward to this weekend and seeing if I can keep up with the big dogs of STS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, as dumpy as the babe magnet is, I know one day it will make it's final lap at an ovr meeting and then to a yard Probably sooner than later, the way it's been going. Good luck to everyone racing against the GASS members, show them how OVR does work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rally Pat Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Went and watched the Porsche Club of America autocross at Ackerman today. Slowest drivers I have ever seen in my entire life. A guy with a GT3 drove it like it was a 65 hp Yugo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Apex Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 ^Heh, just because someone has money doesn't mean they have talent. Joe, no such thing!!! Though I am pooped. A lot more fun today though I couldn't improve my position in the class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy with a GT3 drove it like it was a 65 hp Yugo. I saw them on my way home from cooper. I was so close to taking the exit and talking shit to them about their $100k cars I'm happy to report that I was last in my class after saturday, and improved to second last today. Boo yah! Sucks running against 2-3 national level drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TURBOED Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Ben, I guess you were right about what you said on our course walk. Damn sticky front pads... http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f122/jjschafe/z06_0193.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Apex Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Yeah, all those miatas do that. The Si I drove had abs that intervened too much, we believe it was sensing that the rear wheels were locking(because they were off the ground in the corners) and kicking in the abs too soon, it didn't make the car hard to drive but affected how well the car could brake. Still it was a very fun little car to drive, having that short a wheelbase is great!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kidneyboy Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 pfffft who needs ABS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Apex Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 ^Heh, I've had to get used to it though other than the abs on the Evo I prefer a car without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief8one Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Jerry you are all about locking the fronts up lol... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TURBOED Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Jerry you are all about locking the fronts up lol... Absolutely. Most STS2 miata's have stock pads in front and sticky in the back... I have the opposite, just to challenge myself. Or I'm too lazy to jack the car up in my apartment parking lot and switch them. What's funny is that last weekend I didn't have any bad or major lock-ups (like when you were in the car)... he must have happened to take that picture at just the right time.

coty061885 Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 I thought I'd put this question here instead of making a new thread: I'm looking to register for the 15th of June event and am completely new to autocross. I can't find any kind of guide to figuring out what class my car would be in. It's basically stock, only has a chip and euro spec springs. I wish I hadn't missed the school in May, but I wasn't paying attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
