Looks like I've got 1st place tied up for the season!!!!

My region SCCA has 2 more autocross events, and the YTD points have just been posted!

Me :236
2nd:222
3rd:163

WOo HOOOoo

by the Numbers, as long as I place in the top 3, I'll get 1st for the season!

Who says Civics are slow......

any way, I cant wait untill nextyear, buy then I'll have more of my suspension set up and some new Azenis tires. Next season starts Febuary.!! I love this region!

Seat time, thats all it is. Get a year of autocross under you and you'll look back and laugh at how you use to drive.

at our end of year banquit we give out trophys to the top 3 in each class, the top 3 PAX, top 3 PAX Ladies, and Cone king/queen........(The guy that hit the most cones for the season, its up to 60 cones, but the 2 drivers below him are at 58 and we still have 2 more events)


Ive been thinking of doing a K20 swap and runing in Street modified, but I don't want to embaress the kid racing that class any more then I do now......(He has an 95 civic with a B16, and he averages 2-3 seconds slower ...................)

Very Little actually, My car is Very underpreped for my class.

engine wise the class I run in is Very Limited.
The engine is almost fully preped, Hedder, intake, exaust, all that's really left is to chip it and get a Vtec controller.

Suspension Is much more "open" and it makes more of a difference any way. Right now I'm running on a set of H&R sport springs, with the RSX 19mm Rear anti-roll bar on Stock struts (Very weak now). also I have the Neuspeed front anti-rollbar bushings and Neuspeed Front strut tower bar. thats it for suspension.

The one part that droped the most time for me was....... Wheels and Tires! I run a set of Rota Slipstreams in 15X6.5 (Should have gotten the 15X7) wraped in a set of 205/50-15 Falken Azenis sports (arguably the best tire for my class). These tires are down right amazing..... they are basically "R" compound tires with enough tread to appease the DOT and make them street legal. I highly reccomend them to any one who demands the best handling from their car.

In the hopefully near future I'll pick up a set of KW V3s (Cause my weak *** shocks are killing my transitional cornering). and a Comptech rear Adjustible anti-roll bar. If KW dosn't release the V3 before Febuary (Start of the next season) next year I'll just get a set of Konis.


Heres a link to the complete rules for my class Street Touring

Hey!!!!!!!!!! That's my line!

Anyways... congrats. I'm going to give you a better run for your money next year. JICs or Tanabes (which I'm waiting to come out), My Orange feather wheels with Azenis, and maybe another toy or two... we'll see.
The 7thGenCivic Cup starts next season.....
