Todd,
Sorry you can't make it, it would have been nice to catch up on things
So, what year/color/model of SVX are you picking up? Is this another "put it on the trailer" trip?

Not this time Bill. This one actually drives nicely according to John (svxcess) and Ron. It is the low mileage '95 L AWD in the For Sale section. One owner, 31,xxx miles. I'm excited!

Dave,
probably right below zygotes
Now you've got me thinking that we should draw up a "SVX Racing Evolution" figure

An SVX racing evolution chart, that would be great



6 seconds to a Sentra!!!!!! Makes me a little worried about challenging my freinds J-spec NX2000 at the next auto-X

and looking back, what did you give up...like 4 seconds to the SVT? What does that guy have done ot his Focus? There was a kid running an SVT at my last auto-X and his was S/Ced and riding on Konis and lower springs. He got with in a few 10th of me but I stayed ahead. (well would have if not for my +1sec on my last runs )


And damn them Minis

Jesse,
Couple of things:

1. I was "only" ~2.5 seconds behind the Sentra, and it's a SE-R version that has had its entire suspension reworked to go with its R-Comp tires and very experienced driver (he's been autoX'ing for years and this is really only my first full year of driving). I've gotten within less than a second of him in previous events....but that was before I made some major changes to my car that I'm just now dialing back in

2. The SVT is actually a fairly competitive GS car. Harry's (NewSVX) son was driving one in the MB autoX events and winning the GS class on a regular basis. It also has a very experienced driver behind the wheel - note that Ian Baker (one of the local SCCA instructors) and a National-level driver in CSP got behind the wheel and tore things up having never driven the car before.

I'm really looking forward to next season, after having a full season of driving experience.

-Bill (already starting to think whether next season will be ESP or E Prepared )

Well OK, sorry about that 6 sec. thing. (now where did I read that? )

Well I was very impressed with how well the SVT handled, On his last run he really pushed the car and thought he had a bad run becouse of how it was pushing through some of the corners, but it was his only run the 37sec mark.

So I think with a few more runs he would have been getting alot faster.

I noticed that a little plowing isn't so bad eaither, my one run where the car pushed through one of the corners I thought was gonna be a bad run, but it was faster. So I just kept pushing it harder and learning where I could let it strart to push so that I would still stay in the corner. It dosn't feel as fast as going through sidways but it is.





I noticed you turned the Konis back up.
