Default Say it aint so Mods and Admins....AutoX

I tried going to the AutoX page to post a thread and i got this



:eek3: :eek3:


But anyway. Since the server is bogged over there i'll ask it here. Im gonna be autoX'ing next year in my AT 92 Civic LX. Im doing a D16Z6 swap next week and i want to get ready for the next AutoX season. Anybody got any suggestions on what i can do to get ready for next season. As in a type of practice and work i can get done to my car.

don't need to do anything to the car except to make it safe. such as make sure no fluid is leaking or anything loose. check to make sure you have all the lugnuts and they are torqued properly.

other then that don't practice anything on the street. save it for the autox.

you won't be able to take advantage of it and it will only mask all the nubbin errors you will make.

too bad you're doing that swap... it'll put you in SM, pretty much.. .unless your region has an OSP.

I'd recommend you leave everything possible stock and just get as much behind-the-wheel time as possible.

:chuckles: really don't worry about winning.

People that compete in SM typically have 10-20K invested in their car already.

So don't bother modifying anything else and just drive, watch, listen, learn and have fun.
