AutoXed my G (Pix Included)

So I decided to take part in a local Auto Cross last Friday for my first time in a car of any sort, was concerned my tires would blow any moment lol but anyways it was damn worth it!





I have to admit, the G just went waaaay beyond my expectations. I loved how it cornered especially at this u-turn where people would just understeer into the tires on the side, or stop and reverse to make the u-turn lol The adrenaline rush is way beyond what english words can describe haha by the time I reach the end of the track I'd be flooring on 1st and going sideways like the track was oiled haha My G also managed to swallow a cone lol

I started off with 1.23 ish.. and as I got used to the track I was down to 1.16 ish.. Best time was a stripped out-track ready Evo9 being driven by the 2nd best AutoX driver in the Middle East, 59.4 seconds!! There also was a stock Z with a realy good driver hit 1.07ish too.

The ABS did kick in pretty often though, which was starting to scare me in the end lol is that safe for the rotors? The sound of banging metal got me a little worried.

Need to order me a strut bar and some suspensions mods now that I'm an AutoX addict. It also feels good when you take out everything on the track. Here are some more pix of me pimping on the track!







And finally a pic of my brave old tires after getting them changed today

Forgot to mention, I got all sorts of compliments on my Exhaust & Drop. The G was sounding mean on the track

yup they were, I was making fun of the person who changed them, told him how much he'd pay for them.. he went like: "how much would YOU pay for me to keep them in my garage lol"

Wow I always want to push my tires that far but I am scared to get a blowout right at the worst time.
