Default Teen Ti and Joe1602: The Autocross Chronicles

As a few of you may know may father (Joe1602) and myself (Teen Ti) have recently delved into the world of autocross with our humble '99 ti sport. This year/summer we will be championing the ti in G-Stock in our local (Glen) SCCA Region and this thread will serve to be our account of the happenings during the campaign. Our first event will be this upcoming Sunday and we are both looking forward to it very much, hopefully we'll have some good vids and or pics of everything for you all to get hot and sweaty over Heres some teasers to get started.






P.S. Could somebody for the love of god help me figure out tire pressures? I'm absolutely useless at setting them up right for the car thanks!

So today was the first Autocross of the year, it was kind of a bittersweet day, after his second set of runs my dad blew the front right brake line so I had to sit out the second half of the runs. However, my best time from the morning of 35.4s was still good enough to win class over my dad, who came second with 36.1s, and 3 or 4 others. Hopefully I'll have some vids and pics up by tomorrow.

Tire pressure is something you have to play with. Every tire is different and every track is different. Just get your self a good tire gauge
