Looks like a blast - were you that blue #803 car?

Whens the next autocross locally? Do you need a SCCA membership or anything?

 

[TaeMachine]

great pics! are there tournaments for beginners?

 

[TaeMachine]

Yup. There's a novice class where you are handicapped against other novices.

Here's some info: www.solo2.com

Im thinking of prepping my celica for auto-x, any tips? What are the rules?

 

[aZnTrD2k]

nm....seems lke the answers are in the link you've posted.

 

[TaeMachine]

You're prolly well prepped for SM.

I heard there was an Elise that showed up Saturday but I can't find any pics.

Page 14 has a couple shots of STX runner up, Karl Asseily's Evo 7. His car is one of my favorites.

SM?? My celica is almost back to stock except for the brakes and strut bar, exhaust..thats it

 

[TaeMachine]

oops! I was thinking about the Nissan.

The exhaust is legal for stock but not the brakes and strut bar.

Any idea what class I would run in?

 

[TaeMachine]

I'll say the default SM but it depends on what you have.

I'll try to find that link that lists the basic allowable mods in each class.

 

[Boosted2.0]

I'm pretty heavily modified but a lot of it isn't that obvious.

Basically:

- Bottom end bored out 40 over fully ballanced with forged pistons and forged H beam rods, HKS 1MM metal head gasket
- Mildly ported head with HKS valve springs, lightweight single peice shims, HKS 264 Cams & HKS cam gears - redline is raised to 8500
- Turbonetics stage 2 modified CT26 turbo runnign at 24 PSI
- Custom front mount intercooler
- AEM EMS running speed density (MAF has been removed)
- Supra TT pump and 550CC injectors
- 3" catless DP, 3" midpipe and 3" HKS racing exhaust
- custom 3" intake
- 6 puck metallic spring hub clutch

And then on the handling side I have:
- Jspeed 3 point front strut bar
- Tein SS coilovers
- SSR Competition 17x7.5 wheels with Yokohama A032Rs (235/40/17
- Slotted factory rotors, Porterfield R4S Carbon Kevlar Pads, Goodrige SS brake lines
- some polyurethane suspension bushings.

And the car is gutted with A/C, sunroof, foglights and some other things removed and it has a different front bumper and hood to accomidate the front mount. And the battery is relocated to the rear.

Thats about it though.

Boosted: I'm gonna guess SM. The rule book is online at scca.org .

If you want good setups go look at the autox forum here. Search back a while and you will find alot.

 

[TaeMachine]

Here's a general idea of the rules.
