Junkyards are always a viable option

When the SCCA refers to your car having a hardtop, does that exclude those with moon roofs?

no, moon roofs are fine. They're strictly talking about convertibles.

Point taken.

btw, EP was won by an AE86...

124.419... ridiculous

AJ is starting to make me feel sad about my corolla's strangely long chassis

oops, it does say camry. can someone fix that? If the weather is ugly next weekend, the toyolla is getting autocrossed! Fixed the listing. Corollas last forever. I had one that went 265K miles. The motor and transmission were still running strong when it went to the crusher. It died due to electric...

the 1.8L is a 7afe

yeah, you got a great deal, I bought my '89 corolla for $600 6ish years ago. But really, what $200 car that runs isn't a great deal

You should run it in small bore hahaha

also, your subject says "camry"

Aj, CDC's rules don't have anything to do with the VTEC in your Civic. That's just variable valve timing, and as you pointed out, it doesn't do much. We are just trying to keep those 180HP engines from the Civic Si and the Integra GS-R out of the smallbore competition. Anything with variable valve ...

Variable lift and variable valve timing are different. VTEC does both. Miata VVT does not.

are you going full time MR2 now?

It does use bmw's version of VTEC (Valvetronic) and is DOHC... but it only has 118 hp/114 ft.lbs Pretty much everything built in the last 10 years uses some sort of variable valve timing. It's not witchcraft. I know, but Honda DOHC VTEC is illegal for small bore: 1972-2009 Honda Civic (original eng...

HPDE1

It's my first track day

I know Dave Valeri will be there. I'll be there rallycrossing, I'll try to pop over during lunch. Stop playing in the dirt already and get to a track day :D You will have to come to the paddock anyway to get the seat. The r-comps aren't going anywhere near gravel roads. I'll be at the NASA HPDE thi...

great source of suspension tuning info: http://farnorthracing.com/autocross_secrets.html But I do agree with Jake, it's very easy to just throw money at your car instead of working on the most important part which is the driver. I would recommend if you haven't already spending the money first on go...

To answer your question, it's based on 600 points with the currently scheduled events.

Another event had to be canceled. So, what is the decision here? Will the championship be based on 800 points, 700? We have no choice but to drop 8 events, since that is what we said at the beginning of the season. We will contact Harry Grove this week to see if they will credit us another weekend....

195 is usually the recommended tire for 6" wide wheels. but a 205 will fit fine.

I drove around in it in my subaru on summer tires and had no issues. It was even difficult to do donuts. The wet sloppy snow allows much grip. jake yeah, I drove to the autocross on my R1Rs... it was more or less fine, but my 1/4" of toe out was a little scary... my new LSD works nicely howeve...

yeah... tomorrow is supposed to much warmer, it probably would have been a fine day for autocross.

Took the wheels off my DD that have good, near full tread all seasons and put them on the Zoo. I was going to just leave the Toyo's on but figured I'd be safer than sorry. More concerned about getting there and back than actually racing. Bringing the Toyo's with me and will probably use them if it'...

I would have thought about it... but group 1 is filled up for both the remaining FATTs

I think I might swap on my softer rear springs tonight...

I'm fine with it....
