2013 Auto-x picture and video thread

thenorm · Jan 15, 2013

I like to keep this as a running thread throughout the year of pictures from the auto-x community.

I was at an event last sunday in beautiful Vancouver, British Colombia, Canada.

the first few pics are of the sunrise. It was also reasonable cold, below freezing for most of the day.

heres my car being driven by my co-driver.

This was the car I drove for the day.

we never stop. this was event 4 of 8 of our Slush Series. It doesnt snow often in Vancouver, so we just carry on. Even if it does snow, we will still hold the event.

my car is fully built for F Street Prepared. It has: SVT intake, 65mm TB, ported 2000 intake manifold, SVT header/ORP, catback, UDP, chip, poly bushings, H&R race springs, koni yellow shocks, lower front strut bar, rear strut bar, rear 25mm sway bar, torsen LSD. and for the summer events I add race seats, and hoosier race tires 275/35R15 on 15x10 wheels.

but, to get started in auto-x just showup, theres a class for every car and every prep level. as it sits, your car would be in STF (street touring front), where it can be quite competitive.

Awesome how did u like going from a stock rear bar to 25mm? I was afraid to make too big of a jump for fear of the rear rotating around during daily driving

thenorm · Jan 16, 2013

I reccomend a rear bar. a stock car understeers so bad, the bar brings it back to neutral.
the only way i can see the car coming around on the road is if you do something silly like entering an off ramp way to fast and snap lifting off the gas. but that could spin any car.

Here are a few pictures from our first event of the year. This also shows part of the reason why I am looking for a new fender liner..

tukaniSVT · Jan 18, 2013

Okay, our first AutoX for Houston, TX was on January 6 2013. Regional #1

We don't have as good as scenery as what you guys have in Canada ... but I was able to capture some action of cars anyways. Since I am running and didn't have a double driver this date ... no photos of the focus. Oh well. Next time.

That is awesome!!!! I wish more places would do that. Heck I was in texas for 6 years and could ride my motorcycle year round. you would think they could run year round. haha. I will definitely put up some pics when I get to the first run here in Arkansas.

off topic, but is your grill without lights or are they just tinted?

No lights. I bought the grill from eBay uk for ~$23 shipped. One of the best things I have purchased for the car, behind my new hella hid headlights. It really cleans up the front end of the car.

Hmm I have a new part to quest for it seems.
