badassoldspower Posted September 12, 2005 Report Posted September 12, 2005 Well a while back Adam Weber (AWEB80) and I went to an autocross in lincoln where he submitted his car and..... well you will just have to see the video http://digitaloutsider.org/aweb80/adamautocross.wmv Quote
J Posted September 12, 2005 Report Posted September 12, 2005 awsome! adam just needs to get fid of those girly sun glasses and he's all set Quote
pwmin Posted September 13, 2005 Report Posted September 13, 2005 sweet! was that a lotus behind in the second run? what car ran the 35's? nevermind: it was a mustang! wtf? he got a slower run than a fox-body mustang! :dammit: i probably would too. i havent autox'ed yet. im so jealous. Quote
AWeb80 Posted September 13, 2005 Report Posted September 13, 2005 well, since i've never done it, i was a bit cautious.... and the surface SUCKED...... It was rough and the pavement was not smooth stuff....it was holey...kinda.. o well, it was fun....A Jay.....leave me alone and learn to spell....lol I need more power and better brakes and i guarantee i'm 2 seconds faster....i'm so slow off the line.

94CutlassSLCoupe Posted September 13, 2005 Report Posted September 13, 2005 looks pretty good although it doesn't look like you're driving it that hard yet. When i did it with my stock height FE1 car (only had z34 rear bar at the time), i was running pretty well even with only 30psi air in the tires and the 3100...needless to say i was wearing the sidewalls out and Classic Radial SR tires are not the best for this kind of work. Honestly, my tires almost never stopped squeeling! Quote
AWeb80 Posted September 13, 2005 Report Posted September 13, 2005 I wasn't driving it that hard....and I remember your autocross run...I have the vid on my comp Quote
94CutlassSLCoupe Posted September 13, 2005 Report Posted September 13, 2005 i actually got the ass end to kick out on my car in one of my later runs...needless to say the 4t60-e wasn't liking full balls in '1' but you gotta do what you gotta do Quote
AWeb80 Posted September 13, 2005 Report Posted September 13, 2005 Ya, the 4t60-e was straining..... From the start line to halfway through the first turn..(on my last run (4)) I was doing ~35 and that is almost readlining..... Quote
badassoldspower Posted September 13, 2005 Author Report Posted September 13, 2005 Gee thats a sweet video who made it? lol Quote
J Posted September 13, 2005 Report Posted September 13, 2005 ahh i can spell, i just type too fast and don't check what i type before i hit submit. Either way your braver than i to autoX. When i get the crate engine in (if i win that auction) and the turbo with the getrag, i'll autox Either way great video Quote
1990lumina Posted September 13, 2005 Report Posted September 13, 2005 Awesome video If I tired that in my POS she'd probably blow up the oldschool 4t60, plus my car isn't set up for that AT ALL! At the local auto-x's this is all these guys spend their omney on is better suspension, tires, engine upgrades, brake upgrades, lightening, etc, etc, etc!!! Quote
Dannymik Posted September 13, 2005 Report Posted September 13, 2005 thats some cool shit right there...and Adam the car looks good! Did you ever install a STB in the front or rear to help with handling? And kind of tires are you running those 18's on? Quote
pwmin Posted September 13, 2005 Report Posted September 13, 2005 your car looks awesome. maybe im just being stupid but why do your tires squeal so much? they seem like theyre good tires. i cant get my toyo's to squeal. i wish i could find out some more info for autox in western colorado. Quote
badassoldspower Posted September 13, 2005 Author Report Posted September 13, 2005 Ill jump in real quick Dannymik did you see the title screen on the video it says what all he has, stb's etc etc..... Um he runs on BFG 235/50-18 KDW's. Just helpin out Adam as he is computerless at his apartment Quote
pwmin Posted September 13, 2005 Report Posted September 13, 2005 Just helpin out Adam as he is computerless at his apartment i feel so powerful now that i got cable internet yesterday. way better than dsl no point talking about dial-up. sorry for the hijack. i almost said something about the tires before i read his sig. Quote
digitaloutsider Posted September 13, 2005 Report Posted September 13, 2005 Gee thats a sweet video who made it? lol I know and it's hosted so well! I wonder who's doing that!?! Quote
Dannymik Posted September 13, 2005 Report Posted September 13, 2005 sorry, I didnt see the title screen...I was running around picking up the mess in my room while watching the video. Thanks badass! Quote
AWeb80 Posted September 13, 2005 Report Posted September 13, 2005 Ya, Thanks Kenny for the Vid. Thanks Shaun for hosting it. And yes my tires sqealed because the surface sucked....well, the squeal anyways, but not that bad.... Quote
badassoldspower Posted September 13, 2005 Author Report Posted September 13, 2005 Happy to do it Adam Quote
Euro Posted September 13, 2005 Report Posted September 13, 2005 sweet vid!!! is it just me or does adam look like slick???? Quote
92 GP Posted September 13, 2005 Report Posted September 13, 2005 I love seeing all those cars like the WRX, MR2, a little accord, then the heavyweight GP Great lookin runs Adam! You SHOULD have done another! I really thought that final round was gonna be in the 39's! I know on the first time you don't wanna push it to hard. Go learn the limits of the car, then go back and test Anyway, go do it again ! I'm trying to find somewhere around here that'll do auto-x, we'll see Quote
Kalgorn Posted September 13, 2005 Report Posted September 13, 2005 That is a HOT Grand Prix. Damn I need some Eagle 077s... Nice job. I'd love to try something like that. Quote
AWeb80 Posted September 13, 2005 Report Posted September 13, 2005 is it just me or does adam look like slick???? At least i'm not like him... Quote
92 GP Posted September 14, 2005 Report Posted September 14, 2005 well, that video got me all excited, and i did some research for a local autocross club and i found one! They meet not even 15 minutes away, and the course is like 20-25 mniutes!! fuckin awesome! I'll have some videos up here in the next couple months! Thanks Adamn Quote
