racerx78 Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Since buying the car i was wondering if i was going to be able to autocross it because of the weight. I'm happy to say that even with non PP suspension and only max performance tires the show did really well. The course was fast course with a couple technical parts. The car did a great job. I put the car in manual mode and once i got two 2nd gear that was fine for the rest of the course. Turbo lag was not a problem, and the awd system did a great job of keeping the car from massive understeer. I could easily tap the brakes and get the back end to come around when needed. It was back and forth with my and someone else in a much lighter car for first place in my class, but in the end he beat me by almost a second. I plan on upgrading to the '13 PP springs and shocks. I also will be looking into swapping out the swaybar bushings for poly ureathane. Here are the pix from the event. I'll have the video up later. http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee117/j2onlineaccts/Wheels/IMAG0661.jpg http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee117/j2onlineaccts/Wheels/IMAG0662.jpg http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee117/j2onlineaccts/Wheels/IMAG0670.jpg http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee117/j2onlineaccts/Wheels/1.jpg http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee117/j2onlineaccts/Wheels/5.jpg http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee117/j2onlineaccts/Wheels/7.jpg http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee117/j2onlineaccts/Wheels/8.jpg http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee117/j2onlineaccts/Wheels/9.jpg http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee117/j2onlineaccts/Wheels/11.jpg http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee117/j2onlineaccts/Wheels/55.jpg http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee117/j2onlineaccts/Wheels/66.jpg http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee117/j2onlineaccts/Wheels/77.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they said the corner workers could take a break we knew it was bad. I wasn't to concern with time since i was just trying to find out if i could pilot the car around the course without eating half the cones out there.
