MONDO, just for curiosities sake would my car be an absolute dog at autocross??? Id like to hang out and race with you guys, but a laggy *** turbo and an exedy triple arent really conducive to autox. would i embarass myself?

i also have a bone stock 00' s2000, but after 60k miles the tranny and clutch are pretty compromised so i dunno if id risk it in the honda. what do ya think?
i don't think it would be a dog at all. one of the things that i have always liked about autocross is that to a large degree it equalizes cars. there will be parts of the course where the power will serve you well, and other times where the lag will hurt a bit. but other cars will have their own advantages/disadvantages too.

if you want to come out i would be happy to ride along with you and yell GAS/BRAKE in your ear a few times. i'm a slow *** driver, but i have a proven track record of coaching people to going much faster than i do while in their passenger seat.

yeah i pretty much hated the course at first but toward the end i loved it. I think the lot being on a slant really ****ed with my head. i think i really got to something on my last run.... i was so pissed at that point that they were not doing any REAL fun runs.

the slanted parking is certainly an interesting topographical feature unique to north park.

it makes for some fun in the rain or when they lay out a course that has a turn out of your field of vision to to the elevation change. keeps you on your toes.

yea, it was an option but... she will eventually make more money than me since she will be further educated than me... And she is one of the few girls that i have EVER trusted. Soo, im trying to keep this one!

Sounds like a keeper regardless. Why type of FMIC are you looking to buy?

i dunno actually. I wanna push the stock turbo a little further. With just the TBE, cams and tune i am running an 11.93 stock weight.

I am thinking adding a FMIC, and maybe some hard pipes as well a few other things and turn the boost up (somehow) to 30 psi from 24 i could see mid 11.50's or faster out of it.

but.. i dont know what route i wanna take with it. But it would be either an AMS or Buschur one i imagine.
