Reno Autocross Events 2&3

[Joeyy]

Anybody looking to make changes to there rides prior to events 2&3? How will the next events look without the Sac ringers? Can Dean make an impression on the SM class and will Mike get back on track and out of the van?:huh:

[MattR]

I plan on running fast. If the weather warms up, I'm going to be feelin good. No changes to the car, It's pretty much dialed in now.

[sperry]

Also, who's going to let me co-drive? :(

[Joeyy]

I'm heading over to Dean's tomarrow to roll the fenders of the wagon in preparation for the 235s and I hope to get an elignment next week (depends on Cory's schedule). Anybody know of a good place to purchase some lead for my right foot?

[Nick Koan]

I've now got an UP and DP on my car :devil:

Which means more learning curve for the event :oops:

[Bob Danger]

The Pylon Assassin is driving so be prepared to run chumps.

[Joeyy]

Well the weather is looking like crap tonight but a warm up is in our future.

[Libila]

I'll be back in Reno in time for the May 12/13 weekend at Stead :D

[Forgotten]

I'll be back in Reno in time for the May 12/13 weekend at Stead :D

Well it looks like I'll have something for you to codrive ;)

The fenders on the wagon are officailly rolled. We did the show one do one teaching method. Thanks Dean.:D

[Libila]

Well it looks like I'll have something for you to codrive ;)

Wahoo!

[Bob Danger]

Well it looks like I'll have something for you to codrive ;)

Yeah congrats on the car, now you have no excuse not to come to the meets.

[tysonK]

You driving an STi this weekend Pete?

[JonnydaJibba]

Wahoo!

What you don't want to co drive your own car? FINE I don't give a care.

[Forgotten]

You driving an STi this weekend Pete?

Well it's not an Evo.

[Libila]

What you don't want to co drive your own car? FINE I don't give a care.


I didn't know you were going ass-face.

Jonny and Pete, are you guys going both days?

[Dean]

Hey, has something official been said about the moving of SM to another run group? I think Scott, or somebody mentioned that after the first event.

[sperry]

Rumor has it SM is moving to Blue group, probably permanently, depending on the way the next event shakes down.

[Dean]

Well, considering those Green and Blue run in different halves of the day next event, that doesn't really work.

[sperry]

Well, considering those Green and Blue run in different halves of the day next event, that doesn't really work.
What doesn't work?

[JonnydaJibba]

I didn't know you were going ass-face.

Jonny and Pete, are you guys going both days?

Sunday High noon.

[Dean]

What doesn't work?You can't move people between halves of the day without a whole lot of notice and on Sat. B and G run in different halves.

[cody]

What's up with Mike's car? He got a FP Red right?

My car's setup nicely. I could replace the KYB AGX's with Koni's or some other more aggressive struts, but I'll wait until the AGX's die.

Nick, you getting Protuned?

[sperry]

You can't move people between halves of the day without a whole lot of notice and on Sat. B and G run in different halves.
True. Which is why we're going to look at the numbers at the next event and figure out if SM needs to be permanently moved, then send out said notice. At the school/R1 we were way lopsided, and moved ESP, but looking longer term it seems moving SM would be the better choice, partially because most the people in SM are all-day-ers.

[Nick Koan]

Nick, you getting Protuned?

God I hate that term.

But yes, I plan on getting a tune at some point. For the moment, I'm just running the Cobb Stage 2 map for my car.

[MattR]

I got word today that there will be a large contingent in town from Sacto again....Should be a crazy fast weekend.

[Kevin M]

Hooray, Pro Class is filling up! :banana:

[NevadaSTi]

It should be a fun weekend, I might be running my newly acquired car. Also, it would seem that the weather this weekend will be a lot nicer than the last event's weekend.

[wrxkidid]

if my clutch gets done ill be out there saturday morning and sunday afternoon.

[Kevin M]

If you plan to run Novice or RNP this weekend, PLEASE run in the morning session on Saturday. I will greatly appreciate it!

[NevadaSTi]

OK, thanks for the headsup.

[JonnydaJibba]

Afternoon what?

[cody]

if my clutch gets done ill be out there saturday morning and sunday afternoon. Don't clutches have a break in period?

[bxracer69]

pffff.... break in period.... there are endless miles of road and cars have lights

[Bob Danger]

I'm Out.

[Joeyy]

I'm Out.

Out both days or just one?

[MPREZIV]

Bob didn't have a good time the last time the big crowd from Sac came up, last year, so he simply plans on not going at all...

[JonnydaJibba]

Bobby's being a poon.

[Joeyy]

What kinda numbers is Sac going to roll in with?

[JonnydaJibba]

Bobby's being a poon.

Unless of course that many people are coming.

[MattR]

I don't think it will be more than 15 or so.

[dknv]

I don't think it will be more than 15 or so.Any 'names'?
(Bring it on, they are going down! :lol: )

[Kevin M]

No, they're going to Pro class. :lol:

At least, any that don't haev strong objections during registration...

[NevadaSTi]

Why would they go to the pro class?

[Kevin M]

Because I am going to beg, plead, cajole, harass, and demand it. Unless I am told flatout "no," out of town drivers who typically go to NT events and Divisionals will be pot in Pro Class. The intention of that class is to allow local drivers to measure themselves against national competitoon, and the ebst way to do that is to add as many high-level drivers to the class as possible at any given event.

[sperry]

Why would they go to the pro class?
They should "want" to be in National Prep because they should "want" to run under national rules because of the higher challenge.

The problem is if they're coming up here just because they want to whoop on our crappy drivers, there's no incentive to run in P.

[dknv]

They should "want" to be in National Prep because they should "want" to run under national rules because of the higher challenge.

The problem is if they're coming up here just because they want to whoop on our crappy drivers, there's no incentive to run in P.Depending on who they are -- if they are up here to just run, and are not concerned about Reno's season points, I thought we were going to encourage RNP.

[Kevin M]

YEah, but I'm trying to do what I can to get participation up in P-class, both to encourage local participation so the class doesn't die, and to get that run group filled out a little bit. I have to check to be sure, but right now I don't think we can expect more than 15 drivers in the Blue group at this point for sure.

[cody]

The green group isn't changing right? The wallet cards and the "2007 Schedule" thread should all stay correct as far as we're concerned?

[Kevin M]

For now. Either SM or ESP may get moved however, because our run group is *HUGE* and 2 of the others need help.

[cody]

Would those changes affect whether I run in the afternoon or morning...or just whether I run 1st or 2nd?

[Kevin M]

They can affect which session you run in half the time. Emails will be sent, announcements will be made, and people will be informed at registration before run groups officially change.

[cody]

Is there a chance that my session for events 2 and 3 could change? I'm trying to schedule stuff around AutoX for this weekend.

[Bob Danger]

I'm going to come up either way, wheather I'm running or not. I want to learn how to do timing and scoring.

[MikeK]

I want to learn how to do timing and scoring and then be the chief of timing and scoring.
Excellent! :)

[Kevin M]

Is there a chance that my session for events 2 and 3 could change? I'm trying to schedule stuff around AutoX for this weekend.

Minimal, as I understand it.

[cody]

Cool. Thanks for the four one one.

[SFVette]

For what its worth I'm going to be setting up the course Friday around noon. Any one that wants to come out and help is more than welcome.

[Dean]

I'll be there.

[Joeyy]

I'll be there as planned with sun block.

[Joeyy]

Hey Cody you FRB, is that yellow wagon legal yet?:cool:

[cody]

FRB?

Not yet, but I just have to glue the badges to magnets and replace the grill. Swapping wheels will be more time consuming.

[Joeyy]

[QUOTE=cody;96367]FRB?

Front Running Bastard

[Nick Koan]

Ah, I was guessing Fucking Rule Breaker.

[cody]

Oh, that's better than what I assumed it meant. Glad I asked.

We're going to have to watch out for Nick with his newfound powah and I think Brian will be there with his new smoke machine.

[cody]

Ah, I was guessing Fucking Rule Breaker.

:lol: :oops:

[Joeyy]

Oh, that's better than what I assumed it meant. Glad I asked.

We're going to have to watch out for Nick with his newfound powah and I think Brian will be there with his new smoke machine.

With my newly rolled fenders, I'm going to bring out the new rubber.

[cody]

I usually use a new one eacht time.













Zing!

[NevadaSTi]

Not sure about my diversionary smoke machine yet. But we will see. (Or more appropriately, maybe we won't see it.)

[Joeyy]

Any update on the possible changing of the run groups?

[Nick Koan]

Any changes will happen during the day. Meaning, if you were scheduled in the morning, you'll still run in the morning, but maybe the other run group in the morning. Same goes for the afternoon.

[AtomicLabMonkey]

Zing!

Dude, you can't Zing! yourself. Someone else has to.

[cody]

It's ok to zing yourself...just not in public.

[MattR]

When I was out there this morning, there is a big-ass C 130 parked right in the middle of our area. Apperantly, It broke down there and they are trying to get it fixed and moved. They said it should be out of there by this afternoon.

[MPREZIV]

Oh noes!

[cody]

At least it broke down on the ground.

[dknv]

.. there is a big-ass C 130 parked right in the middle of our area. Bummer. That slows down the Friday course setup process. Especially if they fire it up, and it blows away the flour. :~:

[Joeyy]

I just returned from the Friday course setup and everything is cool. Boss Boss the plane the plane. Well its gone and the course looks great.

[MattR]

Sweet, that's great news D....I know Lucas really appreciates that you were able to help him today. I'm so pumped for this weekend...

[Joeyy]

MikeK says that the course looks very fast and I agree. I think Dean said something about 4th gear.

[Joeyy]

Mr. Dean was sporting his new phat rubber and MikeK was flashing a crazy ass dyno print out from his recent trip to the bay. Thats all for now, see ya all tomarrow.

[Dean]

I said nothing about 4th gear. There are many decreasing radius turns for Sat...

Fast parts and slow parts... Should be fun. I may not be out until late morning, probably second run group if anybody wants coaching, etc...

[cody]

Hop in my car any time you want Dean. I need all the help I can get. Nick will have more power and D will have more grip. :eek:

Thanks for setting up everyone. :)

[wrxkidid]

dean are you going to be out there sunday as well? im gonna be out there for the afternoon sesh sunday and if your out there would like a little coaching.

[A1337STI]

You on basically a stock STI Dean? cool beans! I could use any pointers, tips, coaching that you have time for :)

[Dean]

I'll be out mid morning both days. (I run in the afternoon both days)

[M3n2c3]

MikeK says that the course looks very fast and I agree. I think Dean said something about 4th gear.

That's pretty much impossible at Stead, considering you're talking about 90mph+. . . :eek:

I'll be missing this weekend as well. We just bought a new (used) '00 Forester late last night. . . Aside from not having much left in the way of funds, we have to make up lost time shopping for my niece's bday present tomorrow morning, and her bday shindig is in the afternoon, so my sunday just got spent.

Hopefully I'll make it out to next month's event.

[cody]

Forresters are ruining AutoX.

[Joeyy]

Last run of the day. Sorry about the low quality but its better then nothing. This is what you all missed if you could not make it. Forgive the happiness at the end Cody.

Hey Dean, come ride in my yellow wagon and go for a spin.

[Nick Koan]

A certain Mr. ScottyS needs to post some pictures up.

[ScottyS]

Coming, coming.

I took over 300. I pulled 17 of my favorites (so hard to choose), and did a bit of sharpening/color correction. Should I post them in a new thread?

[Nick Koan]

Yeah, sure.

[cody]

Sick vid D. You were doing some fast downshifting. Do you rev match? I need to learn to heel toe.

Congratulations on your win, but you know I'm coming for ya. :devil: :P

[Joeyy]

Congratulations on your win, but you know I'm coming for ya. :devil: :P

If you mean that I listen to the engine to help down shift then yes. If I don't, it will not go into 1st.

[A1337STI]

What was your time in that youtube video ?

Congrats on the win btw !

[M3n2c3]

Forresters are ruining AutoX.

No kidding. Judging by that video D posted up, it looks like a fun course.

[Joeyy]

What was your time in that youtube video ?

Congrats on the win btw !

48.8:D

[Dean]

This is me in the morning.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ri_daJuIdPQThe best part of that is where he is tucking in his shirt or whatever on the way to the car, and has a glove in his mouth, but already has both gloves on. :)

[wrxkidid]

haha. dean are you going out to stead this afternoon?

[Dean]

Headed out mid morning...

[wrxkidid]

do you think you could ride with me one run and give me some pointers?

[Dean]

do you think you could ride with me one run and give me some pointers?Run groups and spacing permitting... If you are in my run group, you need to be at least 5 cars apart.

[cody]

No kidding. Judging by that video D posted up, it looks like a fun course.
It was a very fun course. I don't like shifting down into first though...er rather, my car doesn't like it much. It only ground a little once, but yikes.

[M3n2c3]

It was a very fun course. I don't like shifting down into first though...er rather, my car doesn't like it much. It only ground a little once, but yikes.

I would have had trouble with it. I have to be going really slow to get my tranny to allow me in to 1st - anything over about 7-10mph and I just can't force it in. I need to find a way to open that up a little. Braking to 7mph usually ends up defeating the purpose of downshifting, and I'm forced to just wallow on out of the corner in 2nd. :(

P.S. If anyone has any advice on how I can loosen that up (i.e. get the tranny to allow me to downshift in to 1st at a higher speed instead of locking it up at anything over ~10mph), offer it up. I'd really like to be able to get in to first at 15-20mph so I can stay closer to the top of my powerband while still carrying a decent amount of speed.

[cody]

Survey Says!:

Redline Shockproof Lightweight. :)

I'm using Uncle Scotty's Cocktail and it's only slightly better than stock. I can shift into first doing 25mph without revmatching or double clutching, etc but I have to be pretty slow with the shift.

Everyone who runs the Redline absolutely loves it. It should really help you out J.

[cody]

Today was fun. My car seemed to go into 1st better today...I'm sure me being slower with my hands helped a bit. I gotta say I enjoyed the course better yesterday for some reason. Great weekend though. Thanks to all that helped make it happen! :)

[wrxkidid]

lots of fun today. fast but still technicalish.

[Dean]

I would have had trouble with it. I have to be going really slow to get my tranny to allow me in to 1st... If anyone has any advice...Cody is right. We did Sue's '02 WRX tranny Sat. PM with Lightweight shockproof and it was like night and day. No clinking, just goes in all the way to 20+... Took 30 minutes.

Go to Summit, buy fluid. It is on the back side of the first or maybe second rack as you walk in the door to the left. You need 3.7 Quarts. You also need a long bendy funnel or bottle pump to get teh fluid into the dip stick hole under the intercooler.

Make sure tranny is warm. You just got back from Summit, right?
Ramp or jack the front end up.(Use stands if jacking) Jack the rear up at the diff to make the car flat.
21mm socket on a 2' breaker bar + extension to break the plug loose.

Rags, socket extension, etc. to protect your hand to undo nut & copper washer and not drop it into the drain bucket you are using.

Let it drain while you clean the metal shavings off the magnet in the plug, open the bottles, put the funnel in place, . etc. If the turbo is still hot, Put a rag or two over it to keep from melting the funnel.

PUT THE PLUG BACK IN!!!

Put about 3.5 bottles in. Put the car on the ground, dipstick in and go drive it for a while.

Come back let it sit a few minutes and check the level. Top off if needed. By the third -5th shift, it should be a different tranny.

[cody]

J doesn't have an IC :P

[Dean]

J doesn't have an IC :PNo, he just doesn't have a turbo... :)

[Nick Koan]

No, he just doesn't have a turbo... :)

And he's certainly no your bo.

Also if you double clutch going into first it will go in magically smooth. The owners manual says that every gear is syncroed , so double clutching should not be needed, but it helps. I've gotten comments AutoXing, and RallyXing how smooth my upshifting is..

under braking in 2nd gear I hang enough of my right foot over so it can blip the gas pedal, i stay in 2nd gear as long as possible, then i push the clutch all the way down, put the shifter into nuetral, i let the clutch all the way up (or i think i do) I rev match my engine, NOW i push the clutch back down and slide it into first, and it feels silky smooth.

with out the double clutching it won't go into first @ 25. even if i hold the rpms at 5000 it just won't. My WRX had the exact same feeling to it.

[MPREZIV]

Awesome weekend! Not to rub it in again, but it looks like I snubbed Scott in Nick's car on Sunday by a 0.02 second margin! :eek: The "battle" was SO much fun tho!

And it was awesome having my Pops come out to watch!

[Joeyy]

Can the Yellow BSP Vette from California be beat?:?:

[MattR]

Apperantly not, but I'll continue to try.

[JonnydaJibba]

Can the Yellow BSP Vette from California be beat?:?:

That guy INSISTED that the first apex cone was out of the box and made me fix it. But since there was nothing wrong with it, I just made it look like I fixed it but really just moved it back and forth. :lol:

You forgot to mention the part where you are driving an STi. Slight improvements were made to that trasmission when it was designed.

[Joeyy]

Apperantly not, but I'll continue to try.

How close did you get? I was busy watching Cody and Nick's times.

[NevadaSTi]

I had a lot of fun on Sat running in my new mustang. Its not as fast as the subarus, but its a whole different beast.

[JonnydaJibba]

I had a great time! What a fun course. I realized that I was taking for granted all good that can come of tapping the brakes. And that I wasn't really using my brakes as much as I should have been. I even got my first t-shirt tan of the season.

I was very impressed with your best time Jonny...but more importantly, your Subaru actually looks good... :cool:

[JonnydaJibba]

Thanks. But I don't get what you're saying. Are you implying that your or someone elses Scoob isn't the hotness? Because the wagons (esp Derricks[no offense! His just looks sexy with the dark wheels and the flaps) are my favorite cars to watch.

Kevins OBS was ESPECIALLY fun to watch... :lol:

[cody]

Well, bugeye wagons are my personal 2nd favorite in the looks dept., but GC8 FTW.

When I bought my car, there were 04 wagons on the lot, but I liked the looks of the bugeyes better.

[wrxkidid]

im in all of derricks videos working station 3 right before the slolom :thumbsup:

johnny beat me again god dammit. by the end of the year im gonna beat you once johnny.

I still have a ways to go to catch Matt.

Good job beating the Vettes on Sun. Pete.

Sorry to jump off topic but I am pulling my hair out trying to find a 21mm drain plug for my tranny. Is this the plug just with something other then a 21mm bolt?????
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y62/thumpyJ/WTF.jpg

[Dean]

Just talked to Joel. That looks like the right place to me. Guess they changed to a monster TORX bit in 04??? Why, I have no idea...

Just confirmed it is a T70 for 04/05 on... Might be a mid 04 change as some appear to claim to have a normal bolt on 04s.

[100_Percent_Juice]

wow I was not too mad about it because as I told you Dean "hey I happen to have that size TORX"


WRONG i have one size smaller then that. Boy am I upset. I image walmart doesnt carry that.

Well I rushed back to Kragen after being there once already tonight to get a 21mm socket. I bought their biggest TORX which was a T60. I assumed it was the biggest made and thus my problems were solved. Until I got home here and read Deans post. I sure hope that Khail Stocks these or I will just ebay it I guess.

Ouch.. Mike's 48.2 was dirty, almost opened the door for Cory. :)

I still have a ways to go to catch Matt.

Debbie did well Sun. just missed catching Patty by 2 100ths... :(

Good job beating the Vettes on Sun. Pete.


Yeah, Great job team! I love it when we represent like that. Trying to chase down the yellow vette is going to make or break me, those guys are so fast!!!!:lol:

Anyway, Don't forget Carrie, she had a great run this weekend as well...I'm getting nervous.

Oh, and we were fighting some brake issues towards the end Sunday, I need to bleed my brakes badly. I won't make that mistake again. Looking forward to the next event!!!!!!!!!

if i woulda been .007 faster i woulda beat that rx8. bummer. cory theres the milliseconds for you
Which rx8, 88N (RN)?

You had the speakers still in the trunk? If so, that's easily your .007 seconds right there. ;)

No kidding on Carrie there Matt! She was FAST this weekend! I think she told me at one point that she was only about a second behind you! Watch your ass dude! :lol:

Carrie is doing great. She had Matt by a tenth or so at one point, but the meanie beat her...

Sorry I didn't coach in my group much Sunday. I was focused on figuring out my car which I still haven't done.

Dean, You went with double adjustables correct? We should talk some time...:cool:

Dean, You went with double adjustables correct? We should talk some time...:cool:Yeah. Unfortunately, they are different valving, and slightly different spring rates in the front, so all my old adjustment data is worthless. I didn't learn much this weekend as I am just trying to get the feel for the power. With the rear bar on medium, I definitely wasn't over steering except under power. I'm considering softening the bump in the front or stiffening the rear. I am on the soft side of center for both ends at the moment. The rebound damping appears to be about right as I don't get bad oscillations.
