Excellent drive!!

Do you still have stock suspension? You really held well in the corners and I loved that launch!

(I really want a 5/6 spd!!!)

So you won this autocross tourny? How many other cars were there, what kinds, etc. Any more information would be appreciated. Thanks!

I don't think he won the whole thing but definately should have won his class!

How did you do overall?

Hey, Phil.
What's the trick to down loading the clip? Perhaps I don't have the lastest software?
Thanks,
Harry

I was having trouble getting it load up and did quick time update form the net. Now it works.

Hey Phil. That was great and looks like a pretty long run time. I thought auto-X was a shorter course than that. Was that soloII?

thanks guys.

Ya it was considered a parking lot auto-x, but it favors high horsepower cars. The group i run with does alot of high speed crossing, so this is low speed for them

YEah the video is gonna be kinda sketchy, my friend is hosting it, thanks to jay on nasioc for posting it by the way

Yeah, i won my class with the third run on hte video i beleive.

yup comepletely stock, 173k miles suspension ang engine other then a custom cold air intake. I think it was rather embarrasing that my 11 year old car with close to 180k on it was beating wrxs, even though they were not in my class

You and Elninoalex are my idols. I hope to be able to do the same mods soon.

Here's the same video in AVI (DivX) format:

(since so many people are having problems with the quicktime version)

Tim · #13 05-11-2003, 11:05 AM

Can you post pics of your custom cold air intake?

Pure_Insanity8 · #14 05-11-2003, 12:00 PM

Pretty sweet Phil! Have done a lot of auto-x to get down the technique? Have you taken any driving/racing courses? I could definitely hear your intake... the sound is very similar to what I got after doing the custom C/A intake... a little bit throatier, and plenty louder.

Earthworm,
Thanks for the resend. Unfortunately, my computer does not have the correct "decompression" software and I could only get the audio. Even then the sounds are great! Wish I could see the actual visual sights.......
Good job, Phil. I know you had fun. We do here in Northern Virginia!
