This is 5 or 6 runs, put into 1 video to give different camera angles. Fun day and I love doing it, it's just so hard on tires... http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pLscxvFptTg

I know this is from a few months back, but I just wanted to comment that I like the different camera angles from the first video (ZOHAN).

Our cars with the front being heavy and the rear being light (uneven weight distribution), and then the higher HP mixed with the RWD, throw all that in a bag, and you got yourself a terrible car for auto crossing. That being said, I think both drivers did a decent job.

I did just 1 auto-x race. My buddy who had been doing it for years invited me to a race and threw me the keys to his MKIV Turbo Supra after he completed his run. Lol, he was pissed when I got first place in his car (I was never invited again). Its a fun time, but even though I did well, it wasn't my type of race. I much prefer higher speeds.

I really liked watching the vids!

I was originally setting my car up for full road course, just never got around to it since the closest track was over 2 hrs away. So I tried my hand at autox. I love it but the car honestly didn't make the right power being procharged. Not to mention the things you said. And higher gears woulda helped. Had to leave it in second and I'd start spinning and drift once I made boost. So in my 5 runs I used 1/2 my rear tire tread and 1/4 of the fronts. Lol. Sad thing is I later realized I had a vacuum hose come off my bov... (boost leak)

Not sure on the editor. Gave them to my bro and he put them together into the one vid. Each run was about 50 sec. So the vid is actually a little long but who's counting. Haha

At about 400whp our cars get very over powering in autox. Im almost always in 2nd with one foot on the brake. Just pushing my car through the turns. Fun but abusive on the tires:)

Can only imagine what a SC car is going through lol

I'd say maybe a 5% chance of her being ready. :( original engine shop screwed me around. Had my new motor for 5 months to finially tell me the guy that does their machine work couldn't do my 4 bolt mains... he would never EVER call me back. Trying to get prices out of him, "ill let you know this afternoon." Then I finially call him two weeks later and its "oh, ya, I still haven't hes heard from him." Always an excuse. "The shop compressor was out for three days, my cat died, the machine shop guy was sick for two weeks, I was sick for two weeks, I died..." lmao. Ok, last one is exaggerated

Oh yes. Lol. Hoping it to be ready in about a month. But sadly that only gives a month to get it all done, test and tune. And running pretty short on money. Need to sell that t56 and the 4 wheeler...
