BForbes · 04-28-2009, 08:55 PM

Coach · 04-29-2009, 10:26 AM

Nice shots and a great turn out. I will give my 1 an auto-x workout this summer.

That green rs is fiving siiick! ..id take green anyday its my fav color lol..how did you do times wise. I feel like the runflats are a bit unpredictable when they heat up after a few runs..

arrutled · 04-30-2009, 10:44 AM

i did better as the day went on, it was my first autocross
it went like this......
108 seconds
98
93
92

then in the afternoon
95
91
94
92

i placed 7th out of 12 in my class. but, I beat another jb3 135, so I was happy, though i did get killed by a stock 335 and a 128

I wouldn't say killed, plus I had 235s all round

I am sad I won't make it to the next one, though EVO I school on May 10th should be a blast. I am hoping that I can make the June 28th autoX, but I get back from vacation on night before... decisions, decisions

arrutled · 04-30-2009, 12:22 PM

^your sneaky!!! I gotta get rid of these runflats and get some suspension bits. c'mon promotion! the tuned cars did not really have an advantage out there.

Artmasterx · 04-30-2009, 12:47 PM

Well, how well do you think I would have done with 205 run-flats up front, that probably less grippy than the stock 135 runflats... my guess is not too good.

By the way, I liked all the performance accessories on your car, they look great.

Bdh821 · 04-30-2009, 05:04 PM

Just ordered new tires which will be on by the next autox! I'm hoping to break 87 seconds but we will see!!

elite · 04-30-2009, 05:21 PM

That looks like fun!! that GT3 is sick!

You know you're driving aggressive when the wipers come on during an auto-x.

Bdh821 · 04-30-2009, 07:05 PM

Yeah, I can't wait to be off the RFT's! Dunlop Direzza Star Specs here I come! 235f/255r
