Pics from Feb 10th AutoX Practice Session

[onosqv]

Still running stock suspension - still learning where I messed up when I was spoiled by coilovers, full arms/rods, bars, etc .

Still one the slower end of the spectrum compared to all these great drivers @ autox, but I'm learning a lot.

I should have the coilovers on by March for road racing & autox, we'll see how I do there.

The rx-7 oil cooler seems to be holding up great (write-up/details will be up later).

Federals (in rear) feel nice & the roll bar is holding up very well. Rear is much more planted, gotta start installing my front bracing pieces.

If you check out the first pic in full res, you can see what I believe is chassis flex from the vert up front, haha.

Some of my fav pics of myself, hee hee:

nice vert you have going. i watched an autox last year and took a photo of a guy in a vert and it looked like in the pic you could see all the chassis flex really bad. when you get the coilovers on i want pics of a wheel up!

I'll see if I can deliver March 10th/11th autox .

Right now, the chassis flex isn't the worse thing... I haven't reinstalled the front strut bar, sway bars, etc, nor the nismo power brace & fender braces yet - so some of that should go away.

The suspension limits the car right now more than the chassis flexing. However, the driver is limiting everything else - if I were smoother (like the instructors who have driven my car), there would be significantly less chassis flex evident because they manage weight transfer SOOOOOO much better.
