i just autoxed yesterday...i've been doing this for 2 years, and it's still so much fun. only equipment are tires (star spec 195/55R15) and rear anti-roll bar.
i got first in my class (ST) out of 6. 16th pax, 23rd raw out of 100+
i ran a 78.312 (really long course ^_^)
for reference:
#2 nationals d-stock ITR last year got a 75.860
s2k 72.615 (FTD) (had a 71 flat dirty)
fsp protege 72.903 (FTP) (had a 72.3 dirty)
nationals stx bmw 325: 74.642 (had a 73.2 dirty)
nationals HS mini: 78.071
from what i can see and what i've heard is that there's a sub-73s time out there for an ST civic...
if any time was left out there for me, it was probably less than half a second. with such a long course it was almost inevitable to hit a cone somewhere sometime...lucky for me my fastest run was clean
the fit is too soft for ST as of now...i definitely need more responsive suspension, going so fast through the course, the suspension can't keep up with the really fast wiggles, suspension would let me trace much more precise lines.
i also need more front tire and/or camber, with the inside rear lifting, i am still understeering in sweepers.
i hate how i can't do anything to my car at the moment...need...money...
