    looks like you had fun. +1 for getting out there

    one thing i recommend... look into getting a sway bar(s) to reduce body roll.

    Re: Autocross (pics)

    judging from the pictures, it looks like you're braking while turning. don't do that.

    Nice pics! It's always fun to go out on a closed course and push your car to see what it's got.

    Ever heard of trail braking? If you're trail braking then you are supposed to brake while making your turn in...

    The only standing start, straight line racing I enjoy is on the way to the first corner.

    Re: Autocross (pics)

    It was just nice to be able to drive the hell out of my car without any risk. I'm sure my car would be a good bit faster with coilovers, better tires...but I was just having some fun. I graduate in May, so some nice suspension mods will have to wait a few more months.

    The biggest thing I notice from the first picture is that I REALLY need to do the CC mod. Those orange lenses stick out so bad.
