Hey guys,
I did my first autox event today and to tell you the truth i am amazed with my evo.I know that it handles well but i did not expect it to be that good... I was with my stock advants which are pretty new and stock suspension. Up to now i was spending money for horsepower and now i realize that its not just horsepower. Its getting used to the car and knowing how to drive...The average time for today was in the 41's and my best run was 39.08 . I recommend everyone who has not done it to do it.,.. Cos thats where you scratch the need.... Cant wait for the next one.. i will be putting r compound tires once i am done with the advants and aslo some lowering springs...

 

Glad to hear that you enjoyed your first auto-x event. Before spending the monies on R-compound tires, may I suggest little suspension tweaks first like a thicker rear swaybar.

First season, it's good to learn on street tires first so you'll get to know how the car will behaves. Just my $.02 in.

 

Just rear or both???? that will make it more stiff right??

 

Here is the link for some nice pics out of the event... The M3 before me is my brother's.

where was the autox you went to? I am in Columbia. I have been to a few since getting my evo and am always looking for more, especially smaller autox. The rear sway will tighten up the rear, help reduce understeer and get it to rotate. Congrats and I agree they are a ton of fun!

 

the one i went to was organized by the BMW club and it was on the state police training grounds... off of Route 32.... The next one is on the 27 on the ripken stadium... I am not sure who organizes it but if you are interested i will get you some more info

 

I would second not getting R compound tires until upgrading the suspension.

 

Cool, def let me know, I would love to go if I can. I went to one 2 weeks ago down at Bowie Baysocks stadium with a Porche club. If you want I can try to get you info on anymore that they are doing as well.

 

yea, def we will set something up.... always fun to go there with friends... I am usually with my bro... He went to the last one on ripkin stadium and is was organized by porche... a few weeks ago....ok gotta go to work now.. will check back later.
