Good possibility. I'll cruise up. i hope to have my car presentable by next weekend so.
90% of teens say "oh shit" before a wreck. The other 10% are from Pennsylvania, they say " hold my beer and watch this shit."
EvasiveEF9: Just fill me in...if it's black, I'm all over it...

I rather not drive 200 miles for a meet
That's only like 20bucks in gas round trip for our cars! LoL
I may reconsider and just drive to some city and party.
JDMadness ==>
You must be crazy, I only get 240 miles per tank which costs around $25 so that's $50 round trip.
More than likely, I wont be able to make it joker.
I have had a turbo and nitrous for MANY years.
I am the king of boost, along with Halfwit.

There is no fight. I'm going with BTLFED for the title because OGs take the cake. Halfwit comes in a definite second, though. Later, QD.
FOR MORE INFO, CLICK THE PIC!!!
QD knows what it is.

...QD posts in our section?
It's official. The EF squad rules...
BTW, QD...went out for my first AutoX run today!!!! What a friggin' rush!
JDMadness ==>
Yessir. You know I'm down with old school rides. I didn't knowq you had a section until today.
I would have said that anyways.
Fucking awesome, huh? It's a hail of a rush to be able to run your car in different directions other than straight. And legally. Later, QD.
FOR MORE INFO, CLICK THE PIC!!!
Well, I mean, we JUST came up like...a week ago, maybe? Glad to see we've earned ourselves a position here. And yeah...judging by your ride...you're old skool.
Yeah, but this just makes it official...
Yeah...tickets just got to be too expensive, as did my insurance. At first my dad got kinda pissy when he heard I was doing it for fear that I'd mess up my car. Despite it's completely built and paid for by me...he still worries about me messing it up... I've never really been into drag. To me drag is meant for...say...70's american muscle. If you've got something newer than that, or imported, you'd DAMN well better be able to handle a turn.
I was relatively proud, though. I THINK I placed 4th in my class (granted, it was Novice...it was still a class, damnit!). I'm just not happy cuz I feel I should have earned third. My car wouldn't stay in 2nd during my fourth go-round which held my best time. For whatever reason, it just kept kicking out. So...I'm gonna go ahead and rebuild the OTHER LS tranny and sell this one off to AgentEasy in it's current state (of which he is aware of). Looking (money depending) to go carbon synch and Si 2nd gear, and just leaving the other gears alone. I MIGHT replace 3rd with an Si gear...I just need to look at a chart with the gear ratios and compare/contrast what I'm gonna do. New bushings in the shift couldn't hurt me, either.

hey, i have never done autocrossing, i have mostly been a dragstrip guy, is there any requirements???

Make sure all your shit's tied down. Have a license. Have the cash to pay the fee. Have a good running condition car. That's pretty much it. Just don't let ANYTHING be loose.
Helmet is optional. You HAVE to have one, but they hand them out at the race to borrow...but just keep in mind how many heads have been in there...

i dont drive an ef or a honda
but i'll be there with competition clutch. all IA'rs stop by our booth and say hey!
Give me a free clutch and I will
YAY FOR HANDOUTS! WOOT!
...ok, but seriously...
JDMadness ==>
lolGive me a free clutch and I will
YAY FOR HANDOUTS! WOOT!
...ok, but seriously...
i can give u free stickers and we all know how much HP that will give u!
thats the point, see we give out free stickers which = more HP which = clutch going out faster which = u having to buy a clutch
muuhahahahahahaaaa!
Whoa...that's pretty tricky! Ok, I'll take...hmm, I'll go mild. How about 80hp worth. At the wheels. Not the clutch.lol

most stickers are worth 5whp each but the ones we just ordered are worth 10whp each. we should have them next week and i'll make sure to save some for import alliance
The tech inspection for auto-x is pretty simple. The battery must be properly held down. Throttle return springs have to work. All lug nut must be in attendance. Tires must not be showing cords. Remove the driver's side foor mat. A lot of people will remove all loose items from the car, which I would recommend; it can be very disconcerting when you hear a random clunk from a loose bolt in the spare tire well rattling around.
Entry fees for SCCA sanctioned events usually run $30 for non-SCCA members. Loaner helmets are available, but they can get, uh, "funky". Your helmet must be a M2000 or better.
That's all I can think of for now. I just got back from a track event at Rockingham and I'm a touch tired.
Yeah, same here. I'm tires as shit. Trying to convince someone to come "cuddle" LoL
M2000. I gotta remember that. That's the info I needed.
JDMadness ==>
I'd really recommend trying to find a M2005 or SA2005 helmet, though. The 2000s are only going to be useable for about 2 years.
Really?
And how exactly do they rate those things? "M2000 holds up to 2000 hits with a hammer at 50lbs of pressure" LoL
JDMadness ==>
LOL.
The M stands for Motorcycle. SA is special application. The difference is that the foam and lining of a SA helmet is fire retardant. The 2000, 2005, etc. is the year in which the certification was filed.
All helmets are subjected to testing by Snell Labs, iirc. Snell then certifies the helmet. Here's the web site for Snell, if you want to read up about the testing procedures.
Hey Chad!!!
No one cares!

Badass...so now my question is why would I want flame retardant...so my body can melt...BUT MY FACE IS FINE FTMFW!!!!
LoL, Jk JK, I know, they make flame retardant suits and stuff...it's just funnier if they pulled my crisp body from a car....BUT MY FACE IS MINT!
JDMadness ==>
Well, the decision between a M or SA helmet hinges upon what you see yourself doing. For SCCA or NASA autocross, and most HPDE events a M rated helmet will be just fine. If you're going to go wheel to wheel racing, then the SA is the way to go.
The way I was thinking about it when I bought my helmet was what I saw myself doing in about 5 - 10 years. Eventually, I want to race with NASA. So, the SA was what I went with. That way I don't have to buy another helmet once I have a real racecar.
True that. Valid point. I don't know...I'll probably go SA. Just gotta raise the money.
JDMadness ==>
Is this the big honda meet that all the ppl from honda-tech are going to?
If so, I was thinking of attending.....
...not that I know of. Mostly this is just the EF's of IA, I think...
Post up your HT link. I'd be interested to see what they're up to.
