That would be awesome if you get in to Auto Cross. Seems like it takes more skill then drag racing. I've been waiting to go to some to check it out, but I haven't gotten around to it.

You'll probably lose power with a hi-flo cat dude. Our cars unmodified thrive off of back pressure. When you take that away, you will actually lose some of that power.

Really andy??? I have I/H/E right now so yeah its pretty much stock. With those three mods I lost some low end power but I gained it back in the top end. Won't I get like the same result from the hi-flo like I did from the header, exhaust?? I want to get AEM pulleys after the hi-flo next

Those rims are sweet jason!!!! Your car will look even better with a drop. Maybe you should get your brake calipers painted blue, that would look nice!
I guess I'm next to get some....

Damn, noone has even seen my car, lol. I'll get some pics up later when I get a chance. Yeah, dude, without the turbo on my car, I have a 2.5 inch exhaust and it is slow as ****. I wouldn't recommend opening up your exhaust anymore, you won't gain **** on the top end.

Yeah just checked The solo2 website the event on the 4th is at the World arena, doesn't look like there will be any events any where else in the springs but there, and most of denvers are at Coors field. I also noticed they have a winter series, i wish KS had one of those!

Wait, did you do it for denver or Co. Springs? I wont be in town for the Denver one, but ill be there for the Springs one. Where did you register?
Nevermind i figured it out, what is this bullshat about the must have a season number crap, im not used to this, it is so much easier to show up in the morning, write a check then sign up for my heat. Damn, that means i have to remember to preregister for the jan. event

I haven't registered for ANY race yet, that's just my number for the season. It's really very easy to do. Just click the link where it says Register Season Number or something like that, you'll see it on the registration page for the Dec. 13th event or maybe even the Jan. 4th event page. Lemme know what you decide to do. BTW, can you at least make it to the Dec. event to watch, I think that's what I'm going to do, then I'll enter in the Jan. 4th event in the Springs. I dunno..

I think mmm2donuts, and maybe even Eeeeh, and I are going to go to the Dec. 13th event.

oh ok, that makes more sense to me, yeah, I have finals for school and the drive is about 7 hours so it isn't worth it for an autox, but yeah if this is your first one, definitly ride with someone first before you drive and read the handbook, you can find it online, i dont know if you have any experience with autox but the only way to understand and get better is to go and get lots and lots of seat time.
I dont even think i will be back in the springs untill the 27th or so

I might ride with someone if I find that someone will LET me, but I don't intend to enter...YET!!! lol

I will fo sho read the handbook, and I'm prettymuch just trying to get together a car club/autoX club. Maybe a Regional car club would be a better idea. I dunno. Any suggestions?

Its too bad there arn't small venues you can go to because they are the best ways to start out, but since it is winter, no one will be too serious, and you can get better ideas on what is really going on. FattyMcJ, what class did you put your car in when you registered? Anyway, you might as well run your car because you have to pay to even ride along, but it is up to you.....(seat time, seat time, seat time). Sorry, but i love autox, and get all worked up, and it is awesome to see new people getting into it. You will get hooked man.
The Springs event just may be better to run in because i would assume it is a smaller crowd, but probably not by much.
