Another First Time, Now With Videos
This time it was autocross, and I actually did pretty well. I got 3rd in class with a very, very, blown strut, and a tranny that doesn't like me. I consistently ran better than my friend with a GC Impreza with a bunch of suspension mods even though we ended up with the same best time. We went into it assuming he would kick my ass, so I was shocked that my times were about 2 seconds quicker. I beat out a 450hp S4, and a Rouch Mustang, and finished in the top 3rd overall, so I'm was pretty happy. The car was much more balanced than I thought it was going to be, even with a couple off camber corners. If I came in too hot, give the brake a little tap and she would come right around. What's killing me is understeer coming out of the corners because of the gearing, but I think a 5spd swap would help a lot for that.I can imagine that with some stiffening you can make this a good track car. Maybe there's hope for the laguna after all....
I'll see if I can find some pics, although I think it probably looked like it was going to flip every time I took a left hander... stupid struts Edit: The only mods I have that would help would be my tires, and I have to say, the Hankooks worked better than I expected them to.
