Cal Club Autocross Forums

I would gladly like to take you up on that offer, given the nature of lemons, and the fact we're already in a cheater car(Miatas, Porsche, RX7 and newer BMWs are given a harder look by judges) I don't think I could get it to pass the smell test even if I could prove in every way it was free.

The motor is a junkyard motor so I'm sure its just a stock 1.8. Kinda shocking to think that it lasted a whole season even after 240k miles and abuse. I've followed what the eyesore guys have done and getting the ECU tuned for the turbo scares me a bit, as far as reliability is concerned. They also ...

-It has the steep 90 final drive already, I can put the 4.7 fd from the Kia Sportage, its something we've been considering but with the local tracks I'm not sure it'll help. -Milling the head is something that might happen with the motor being out right now but with Sonoma\Seca coming up we might no...

We have something like 4 sets of daisys on hand. Rims are open but it certainly eats into the racing budget.

If you don't mind driving a STF car, I have a seat open.

knock on wood, its held up for 220k miles and a season of 24hr races so I'm hoping it stays together.

No turbo, car owner doesn't want to risk the motor. All the bushings are poly, its got the 1.6 open rear diff with the 4.30s and the 1.6 clutch and flywheel. We do get some shoulder wear but I don't think that's something I'm going to be able to fix. Are the S package shocks any good? I would like B...

The team I race with in Lemons is a NA Miata 1.8. Looking to get all the info I can about those car, i.e. parts interchangeability, whats likely to break, what I can cut off, where can I get power, what go fast parts are worth the cost, etc. This is a Lemons car after all so anything requiring big m...

I'm glad I can finally legally modify my rear alignment now. Isn't the z's problem gearing related? I don't think it has a hope in hell in STU along with the Genesis, not sure about the rationale behind that, I don't think the genesis can even fit 285 on the front without a tire sticking half an inc...

The data graph is added with the video itself its not something I add after the fact. Plus the video files are AVI and don't always play correctly in quicktime.


Here's the video flipped.

We've been having problems with the mount and battery so we didn't test the image ahead of time.

Managed to get 1 lap of Bill Kreigs 1st heat data in before the battery crapped out. Bill managed to place 2nd overall. Those little karts almost hit 50mph, and you can see just how effective drafting is compared to running in front. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8_oIJxPgCI&feature=youtu.be

If your not running hoosiers or R comps, your car would be a really good fit in CST.

Thats basically all I'm planning on doing with the kooks. I'll probably end up on BFGs or Hoosiers once I get some more seat time and confidence in the car.

DNF due to whoever spun in front of me on the last lap causing me to t-bone them.

I'm mostly concerned with road racing, since this car is being built for a specific class. I wasn't sure if the Hankooks were like the Hoosier R6 or the BFG R1S tires.

I didn't realize that was Pete with the red helmet, I was doing a good job catching up to him right before I took a big spill into the wall. That basically ended up run for the day and got me the DSQ.

Not many people in Cal Club run SMF but there are a few in San Diego. Most of the FWD cars that would fit in SMF run CST(one of the biggest classes overall) which is a local street tire class.

Is anyone watching the STX action, 1-50 are seperated by something like 4 seconds.

For the last two "hot" races we've always had a nice breeze and the temp. hasn't felt that bad. Of course it's nice to have a special hot weather mesh karting jacket. :D http://www.kartingwarehouse.com/Karting-Suits/c6/p411/Vega---Mercury-Mesh-Kart-Racing-Jacket/product_info.html" on...

Holy Cow Jason Rhodes trophied in the 67 Camaro thats awesome.

Don't forget about me Mako

Also don't forget to bring lots of water.

Bringing this one back from the dead. Anyone have any experience with these tires and Road racing with the C51 compound?

Well I see my request for AS didn't go quite as planned...But I can race in T3 now.
