..of my car, of course

Thanks to TeamWTF? for the pics....

 

I took 2nd place in D Street Prepared class....this freaking civic beat me by a mile...he was like a go-kart around the track.

 

how does the maxima handle in a autocross?

 

looks like it handles pretty well with the right mods, he took 2nd place

 

Congratz on placing 2nd, those are cool shots.

 

it's big...too big....but with the right suspension setup, shaved tires, light wheels, and an experienced driver, it can do OK. Good low-end torque is useful in autocross. Not going to win or place high in many events, but a few maximas have done ok...BEJAY1 goes to SCCA nationals every year in his 4th gen and places middle-of-the-pack.

You know we have an autocross and road racing forum here on the org, right?

I'd rather have a sportscar for autocross, but this is what I have right now, so I'll use the maxima

 

it wasn't a very big class...but if I had raced in my "correct" class (STX) my time would have put me in 4th or 5th out of 15-20 cars....

 

A couple of pics of other maximas there:

GBAUER (in the red) and Karim (in the black 4th gen)

 

Pretty Awesome. Cool seeing the maxima perform around those turns. Might save some of these pics.

 

FN01R-C :thumbsup looks good, that civic looks insane.

How'd GB and IS do?

 

the wheels look alot better in motion then when standing still, that's for sure.

Bauer actually WON the novice class (out of about 25 cars entered) and was about a second or so behind my time (pretty good, considering my setup is much better for autocross - though his car has more power).

Who is IS?

 

Karim = Post ***** formerly known as Iron Scimitar


Once again, nice action pics... love those rims in motion...

 

i would love to go autocrossing. soon soon

 

Looks like fun. That bar in your third picture is that the blemco stage 2? if so how dropped is your car? Reason is im thinking of getting it but concerned about how much clearence i will lose im on htechs. Anyways the MAX looks good in action.

 

nice pics!!

 

You'd good axles to do it

 

Once again nice pics. I'll make it to one of your events this season.

 

nice body roll. must have been going pretty fast. way to show what maximas can do, even if theyre not meant for it.

 

He effectively has a Stage I. He used to have a Stage II but cut the back portion off, leaving only the front tie bar.

 

your car looks sick with those bronze rims
awesome job at second that takes skill man

 

Josh, looks like a great time. How much difference with the new wheel/tire setup?

 

Dude, quit hitting all those cones and maybe a civic wouldn't beat you...

 

5 runs...zero cones hit

VQ356 - I've had the stage 1 and stage 2 bars (they are the same height from the ground) with Maxspeeds, and have never scraped them, except one time when straddling a curb. I'm about to drop a bit lower with Progress springs, and don't expect that I'll scrape then either. The onlytime you'd have a problem is if you're really slammed on coilovers.
