[black89t]

I'm so dizzy.... looks like fun.

 

[7thousandpiecesMGTE]

cant wait till I can do this!


did you kill any orange midgets?

 

[IndyMK3]

wow... that seemed like a long course

 

[IJ.]

A suction mount would be 299.5 lbs lighter think of how much better the car would have handled

 

[black89t]

yeah. its HELLA fun.

i think i hit a couple cones, but at the end i didn't hit any cones as my car hucked sideways nearly 90*.

it is a big track and very confusing at first. lol. druing the straight i hit nearly 60mph. and the runs i did alone i hit the rev limter once because i was concentrating on the braking point so much. plus hitting third would just slow me down as it would be nearly at the braking point of my car.


and IJ your right. the difference in speed and handling without my buddy in the car was incomparable.

 

[IJ.]

What Diff is in the car?

 

[black89t]

the stock 3.73 with stock rims and stock tire size. stock. lol.


oh and somebody tied their camera to thier headrest and actually got a good vid. i might try that next time so you can see my car really rip.

 

[IJ.]

Open/LSD/Dead LSD?

 

[black89t]

lsd of course. my car is a 89 turbo mainly stock as far as mods. i just have her running really good.


goes to show what some maintance can do.

Just seems to be a bit short of traction during the weight shifts, sounded like it was peg legging off corners.

Autocrossing is a lot of fun! I actually won my class back at the PNW Suprafest '06. Now I'd be too chicken to mark up my body kit.:runaway:

 

[Setheroo]

That video is missing a key component for any autocross...

TECHNO MUSIC.
GET SOME.

Hahaha, but no really, nice video.

Just seems to be a bit short of traction during the weight shifts, sounded like it was peg legging off corners.

nah. by the looks of my tires they seem to have been wearing pretty even after the event being that they are dam near blad. lol. and just by the way the rear end of my car kicks out that can't happen with a blown/practically open diff. plus if it was really blown during any straight i would have just baked one tire all the way down the track.


also you can't tell from the video, but the pavement is shit. the ocean is about 300ft from the dragstrip so there is sand all over the place too. as i first start its right over the dunes in that direction.

 

[slowpra na-t]

haha looks fun! nice viedo.

 

[Supra28]

Damn, my head hurts now from that vid hahaha, sweet vid none the less. I see some weight shift in the vid. What's your suspension setup?

 

[shaeff]

and just by the way the rear end of my car kicks out that can't happen with a blown/practically open diff.

Wanna bet?

Cool vid.

 

[mkiii 4 life]

At the beginning of the video i was watching autocross but at the end it started to turn into drifting. Just messing with you it looks fun.

 

[daledoe]

Nice video. I'd like to see how it drives with just you in it!!!~

 

[black89t]

ive got the illumina 2's with eibachs.

and shaeff i got my dads 240sx running good and no matter what you do it only spins one tire. there is no comparison between a open diff and a lsd.
