So these are my current numbers...


Nothing wrong with the visibility or anything, its just that the friggin spray paint doesn't stick, despite the package saying "can be painted" and now I've got red **** in the doors and I can't get it off. I'm looking for a place that sells cheap, premade numbers that I can just slap on and go. Best I've managed so far is $31.50 for a pair of 71s and a pair of STSs from solotime.com.... anyone know of a cheaper place?

31.50 aint bad for a set of #'s. one of the local guys does custom # for about $36, and Im getting a set for the nationals this year (My regional #s arnt legal for the Nationals)

hey boilermaker... i just got quoted $70.00 for a pair of 70 SM and a couple extra 7's and what not... they are about 7 inches tall i think... i like the idea of putting magnetics on... the shoe polish is just starting to **** me off and leaving white crap all over the car... i think they have me in the wrong class though... i mean.. i can still compete with the S mod guys.. but damn.. all i have is a civic... but i think they are getting me with the swaybars, springs, strut bars, and then all my other crap...

Everything you just listed is STS legal. You got pulleys or something? Gimme a full rundown of EVERYTHING you put in the car that Honda didn't.... I think someone is yanking your crank. You should be running STS.

 
Rep Power: 380

do you have a carbon fiber hood or some thing simmilar? that would bump you outta STS.

Renamazazo, this was my original design, but I decided it played on that a little too much

^^^ Clever

I got the situation fixed... a local shop is gonna make me a 13x11" magnet. 8" Numbers, 4" Letters so its Division legal.
$35 for the pair

i have the following....

DC Sports Header and TCS2 Exhaust
AEM Cold Air Intake
Neuspeed Short Shifter
DC Sports Strut Bar
Tein Springs
18" wheels
Eibach Sway Bars

I think thats it.. but it gets hard to remember... so yeah... i was thinking i was still in STS.. but who knows...

 
Rep Power: 380

thats perfect for STS, so dont Run SM. you'll get eaten alive!! and avoid SM2 at all costs...... thats hevily modified corvette territory. I wouldnt jump to SM unliess I got an engine swap....

Boilermaker, Is that to match your new Race wheels?

 
Rep Power: 424

You know it
But its also because I got red paint stuck in the doors from the current ones.

actually... i didnt do bad in SM 4th or 5th i think... which was cool to me... but yeah.. had i been in STS like usual... i think i would have won or at least done a lot better... there is one guy running an older 2.5 imprezza and he usually cleans up.. but i thought he should be in STX? i dunno... all i know is i love auto crossing... be it winning the class or not...

 
Rep Power: 380

the 2.5RS is legal for STS, the WRX has to be in STX due to the LSD and 2.0L Turbo.

and its true, just being there is fun, Winning is just icing on the cake.

STS land for sure. Is this the South Bend guys giving you crap? Tell them to stick it. Just show up on Sunday (if you're going to the Tire Rack) and get in the tech line with STS on the car. If they give you crap tell them to get a rule book out. None of those are illegal, even though I wouldn't be racing on 18s... they're still legal.
OR
You can join me at the Kruse Auction Park in Auburn and I promise you the Fort Wayne guys won't say anything about that set up.

yeah.. i am not sure yet if i am going to this weekend's event or not... i would like to go down to some other one's next year... just to run with a different crowd... and i dont even mind running with the 18's... they are fordged and only weigh 18lbs... so it doesnt really hurt me that much... i am looking at getting a set of Rota's for autocrossing... one they are light.. two.. i can get them dirt cheap...

Sign of a true autocrosser...... Cheep.

some car i always see on campus has like 6th gen with sts lettering on his car only. i don't think it's magnetic either.... i think he just thinks it's cool to look like he autox's. he keeps his car parked on the street like dumb foo too..

 
Rep Power: 424

Well it is cool to look like you autox... it usually means the car doesn't look like a rice burner... but theres no reason to use adhesive vinyl for it...
Its usually obvious the few days after an event... I've still got shoepolish on the tires, the inspection sticker on the windshield and all the dust that gets kicked up usually leaves shadows when you pull the magnetics off the door.

Some cars look good dressed up in autocross/Road race "colors"

Boilermaker those wheels in your members ride section..those are your autocross rims? what you wanted them to match the cones or something?

 
Rep Power: 424

hey now... theres no reason to knock on the orange rims....
They don't really match the cones... they're quite a bit brighter.
10 lbs, $85 a piece, its a bit hard to complain... and I actually like the color. It makes people wonder, when people wonder, they ask questions, and since I like talking about my car with the race crowd, its a good thing.

 
Rep Power: 344

you have to take a picture with them on... i need to see what they look like on the car.
