dark_templer_102 Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Hey, i just went to a novice school today and so did my friend. Our first times too. We did also have instructors who rode with us teaching things. Well best I ran was about 46ish. He was able to run a 41. It might be because I have a small comfort zone, but I also have F&R sways, springs, UP, DP and AP. He is totally stock. Oh ya, Eagle F1s Now, I know he is set up pretty well stock, but isn't Stage 2 with mods pretty decent at Auto-X? However, there was one really well modded STi running about 360 WHP on deadbolt turbo and a huge mod list. He was able to get 39 second (but he said he should have gotten 38 if his tires weren't already gone). I guess i really should go for wider tires on stock rims as well, and maybe a bit more PSI on the front tires, but was there anything I was doing wrong? (Real big factor still could have been, i tried avoiding squealing tires, while he literally just would slide a bit. However, there was a oval course teaching about frictional force or something (4 arrows, top saying braking, bottom saying acceleration, and left and right is left and right). The instructor said I did really well (yay), but he drove the Z around the course and got around 38-39 seconds (other instructors said he is really good) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewScooby Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Your tires are holding you back. The RE92's are a joke for an autocross. At the last autocross I attended there was a 2006 WRX with RE92's that was way off the pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beanboy Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Driver and tires when it comes to autocrossing. Good driver with a stock 1997 Outback with two cylinders missfiring and good tires would be able to beat 95% of the autocrossers out there on pure times alone, nevermind within the class. Hell, above driver could probably beat 75% of all autocrossers in said Outback with 10 year-old RE92s. -B http://www.standardshift.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
