S13 1 (http://wsbf.net/robert/bmw_autox/ken_1.wmv)
S13 2 (http://wsbf.net/robert/bmw_autox/ken_2.wmv)

these are from the autox at the BMW factory here in Spartanburg, SC.  i did alright, i got 3rd in DSP.  i would have been 2nd if not for that same damn cone i hit on that tight 90* corner.  the two cars in front of me where: '99 GSR on slicks, and some '91 DSM turbo AWD on slicks.  i didnt feel to bad, i was on a hold set of hoosiers myself.  there were 12 in DSP this weekend, and one more S13 in this class.  he was 5th on crappy kumho's.  he would have beeen with us if he had some sticky rubber.

yah its a bomex wangan wing, and the pdm lip (which is just a bomex copy). &nbsp;

the car is running fine for now. &nbsp;im low on compression though and will need either a rebuild or new KA (that'll happen at 185k miles). &nbsp;mods right now are: &nbsp;aem intake with blitz filter, test pipe, HKS hiper, various items removed (A/C, clutch fan). &nbsp;ive got a long way to go. &nbsp;but if i get my next round of mods done soon, ill be pretty quick in DSP. &nbsp;i can still upgrade sway bars, get strut bars, and a cage will finish up my chassis mods. &nbsp;then, i can still do adjustable camber plates, and a few more power mod's. &nbsp;to stay in DSP, i cant do much more than a header and ECU or SAFC. &nbsp;i really need to do somethign about fuel b/c it runs quite rich. &nbsp;it'd make probably 15 hp with good tuning. &nbsp;then, id be out of mods to do to stay in DSP. &nbsp;so, thats it for this season. &nbsp;if can get all that done this winter, i think ill be running for DSP season winner next year! &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

Very nice, looks like loads of fun, can't wait to get my car and start autocrossing, seeing you knock down some cones will make me feel better for the first out of 10 cones imma prolly knock down in my runs <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/nervous.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':nervous:'> .

actually, thats kinda ironic i caught so many cones. &nbsp;the entire season, ive only hit 1. &nbsp;this weekend, it was almost double digits. &nbsp;but, i still moved up in the rankings! &nbsp;its gotta be the hoosiers! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> i was talkin to a good autox friend of mine (GS champ in a CRX), and he said it was the switch to hoosiers that was causing me to fall so many cones. &nbsp;the turn-in is razor sharp, so when i yanked the wheel to go through the corner, the car actually turned instead of a brief slide which you have to do to turn fast on street tires. &nbsp;did u see teh 1st vid? &nbsp;i actually hit a cone on teh start up... &nbsp;
<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/withstupid.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':withstupid:'> yah, that was pretty dumb. &nbsp;everyone said it was my big lip that hit the cones! &nbsp;it sticks out like 2 inches from the bumper! &nbsp;anyways, if you guys are autoxin now, you should start. &nbsp;its loads of fun. &nbsp;it takes about one full season to get competitive. &nbsp;i started at the very last autox in my FC last year and did really bad. &nbsp;i did about 6 this year in my PS13 and now im making a run for 1st place! &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>
