Precisely why I'll deal with the cold

I would of been there if the car was running right.

Hopefully next year I'll be able to make more. This is my first, and I'm sure I'll be hooked after this time.

I know you will. I was when i first done it. Just don't let the a holes there push you away.

I know a lot of people that have encouraged me to go out and have fun. I work with 4 or 5 people that will be there tomorrow.

So how was it.

Kickerbeast · **Posted:** Wed Oct 21, 2009 8:48 pm

It was fricken awesome! As you can see, I now have an action shot of my car. I improved 10 seconds overall and my last 3 runs I dropped a second off each lap. I need to do some from suspension work though. It was pushing through the turns as I got faster. The course was rough and I think I did some damage to the left front. I have a creaking in it now that wasn't there before. Overall, I'm hooked and most everyone out there I talked to was cool. I got lots of tips and advise from people. I ended up knowing more people out there that I thought I would. I was kinda disappointing that there were no other DSMs out there so I would know how I was stacking up. Maybe next yet.

Yea, 1gs aren't the ideal platform to autocross with, but they are a good start. 2gs on the other hand have the better setup out of dsms. Right Kyle?

I saw Kyle's car out there, but I didn't run into him. I didn't run till about 2 and I don't think he stuck around that long.

HAHAHA, yet another dsm I've looked at buying in the past and someone else on the board shows up with it.
Kickerbeast- you picked that car up from a guy that works at Napa in New Haven named Lonny, right?

Kickerbeast · **Posted:** Fri Oct 23, 2009 7:42 am

No, I got it from the guy that bought it from him. I bought it will the trans out of it. On of them blew the center diff and the guy I bought it from pulled the trans to replace it, only to find out later that he didn't have to do that. Any with a lot of TLC, it's back on the road again. The trans needs to be completed replaced as it has some cracks in the bellhousing. I guess at some point in time the trans bolts came loose and the trans was just flopping around in there.

Sounds like your due for a Shep trans.
