From this week's auto-x. The set up, (in case you missed it first time,) is Whiteline springs, AGX shocks, Apexi N-1 single, 15x7 0 offset mesh enkei rims, ($100, I still can't believe that deal!)

Here ya go:

Thanks for the compliments!

Yeah, Dousan, I'd be happier if they were like a +10 offset, but for $100 I figure I couldn't complain too much!

The event went okay, placed sixth in my class, (the lowest I've ever placed to date!) STS is gonna be way more competitive than g-stock was last year.

Also, I'm still trying to figure out the shock settings. My best run was on 3/7 front/rear, but the rear still felt a like it could rotate a little more. Gonna try 3/8 next time. I ran 4/8 in the fun runs after scoring was over, and it pushed way hard in the front!

I picked up the enkei's from a friend who didn't have any use for them anymore=sold his 4 lug fc, so they had to go.

I had to spray the centers, 'cause they were bare aluminum, but for 100, what the hell.

maybe it's just a civic hatch at a bad angle, but that sure looks like a geo metro behind your car! Bwa hahahhaha!

Suzuki swift gti. And he freakin' dominates his class, (F-street prepared,) at every damn event! I've yet to figure out how he's doing it, but it seems to work really well.

Nice and clean ...:cool:

Jumped up to STS this season. I got pushed into it at the end of last season, and it's competitive as hell. Especially when your sitting on bone stock suspension minus fstb. I got killed my first event, but I almost took down sts the first event of the year. Hit a cone coming out of a solom to give a 2 sec. penalty....put me in second. :mad:

Thanks for all the compliments!

Tyler,

Yep, STS is a bitch! In that class, we have our regional auto-x director, and several very experienced members. There's even this certain Neon that I had to deal with in G-stock last year, (he handed me my butt then too,) that jumped to STS with me this year! AARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He to the class on sunday with a 44.90 when second was running 45.82 and I ran a horrible 48.847.

Oh well, there's always next time
