[inuyasha3466]

Bruce here!

[dickie]

sup mayne?

[inuyasha3466]

im thinking of going to that autocross event on may 6th. what do you guys think? ive never been to one before and i think my car will do good with the 235's on it.

[n00b240]

go for it sorry i cant be there, you will be alright, check the road racing/auto x forum on the right there for more help you are gonna have a blast, be shure to ride in someone elses car, they are usually pretty good about giving rides

[dickie]

wont be at the autox, taking my mom to a ranger game and dinner with my brothers.

BUT...

I believe the new FW local 240 meets are being held in the parking lot of Freebirds on Overton Ridge between Hulen and Bryant Irving... where the old Ultimate Electronics was. I will be there this thursday night.

[RedSVTFlareside]

In McKinney here. I'm always down for a get together. An autoX or Track meet would be cool.

[inuyasha3466]

Chris, give me a call if you guys go out there. I live off bryant irvin so its a short drive. Aaron has my number too so ya...

[dickie]

i cant get a hold of aaron, but i will be out there after dinner, probly 8sh? cant stay very long, its laundry night and also i take my weekly bath.

[dickie]

its supposedly going to storm tonight anyways, dont know how that will affect meeting up.

[oldschoolsilvia]

Storms go figure, kinda scary yesterday funnel clouds FTL

I definatly need to come out...... Whenever my car gets back on the road

[inuyasha3466]

Wow... my best time at the autox was 7 seconds more than the average time. Most of the runs i was fighting the understeer demons until i started driving my style of driving... drift... and i shaved 2 seconds off but went on the wrong side of the last slolom and got a dnf...

[dickie]

were you running on your hanabis or do you have a set of track wheels and tires?

[inuyasha3466]

i ran on my hanabis and my kumho 711's are plain r rated radials... i probably wouldve done better with zr's at least but a lot of people there were running slicks on all fours. i wont go that far but im wondering if i just drive the course with my own driving style ill do better. i feel a lot more comfortable half way sliding through the corners then braking and trying to get my tired ka to accelerate out.

[n00b240]

nice!! sounds like you had a good time. the more track time you get, you should start improvin. what place did you make in your class?j what suspension have you got?

all in all glad you had fun, i should see you at the next auto-x prolly

[dickie]

the rangers won 3-2 and i got hammered on grape drink and vodka. this saturday the gf will be out-of-town so i will be working on the cars. anyone is welcome to gimme a call and maybe stop by.

i probably wont be out thursday night because im going out to dinner with the other family before they leave for college station.

that is all.

[inuyasha3466]

i was the only one in my class. i put myself in DP because of my wide tires and stripped interior and 11.5" steering wheel. maybe i should've classed as dsp...

as for suspension ive got kyb agx non adjustables and megan racing lowering springs. it worked out ok.

theyve got the pics posted from that event so check them out. mines got the body kit. #240 baby!

there was also another 240 hatch that ran stock tires and was lowered. he ran better than i did for sure.

i guess all in all not bad for my first time.

so ya n00b240, we have meets on overton ridge across the street and catty corner from the hulen mall if you want to come out on thursday nights. you can take i-20 to hulen and go south to overton ridge which is where sears auto is and take a right. we meet after the next stop light on the left so ya, just in case.... the meet starts around 7:30pm.

[niko00005]

could any of u guys point me to a swap shop????

[Ants89_240]

Ant here in the DFW area, always down for a meet but car is down right now.

[n00b240]

Sorry I missed the post for this past thursday nite. Ill try to make it next week, I most definitely should be free. Since I just got back to the US, I need to get inspection sticker and insurance and all that stuff. Prolly tune up, new pads/fluid etc

[inuyasha3466]

Sounds good. Ill be taking my 240 to the next meet. Ive been taking my other vehicles to the last ones.

[n00b240]

WTF, I just mapquested this mofo. Havent been able to get to the 240 just yet, will be coming (hopefully) in the 6MT ...56 miles from me? The island where I was at for the past 2 years aint even that long in circumference!

Its tellin me (from frisco) Dallas Tollway to George Bush to 161 to 183 to 121 to I 35 to I 20?? Is this the fastest way? Anyone from Frisco or the surrounding area with a faster/more direct way?

I mean Id almost want to take the tollway to 35 and then 20 all the way west. Fuggin A, its gonna take some getting used to driving long distances again. The Island I came from, I could drive around the whole island in 45 mins.

[dickie]

****, just get on 820 and exit bryant irving, then turn left onto overton ridge and right into thegoddamn parking lot. ****. i will try to be there this month.

[n00b240]

LOL thanks

[dickie]

sorry, too muchn drinking there. rent one of those cars that has the gps navigator and wire it into your 240.
