Here is a teaser...



I have lots more if anyone else cares to see them. I did pretty decent that day, 2nd in class out of 5 for the novice class.

As you can see I am running the steelies and stock tires which suck, but, new stuff comes in this Saturday. Can;t wait!

 

Nice pic. I've autox the xA, xB, tC, 350z, Civic, Accord, and Miata. And I still think I had the most fun in the xA and tC.

If I had a an extra few grand to waste I'd love to hook up an xA with a suspension, LSD, R-compound tires, and some boost then stick it in a street mod class for fun.

I don't know if it would be competitive but it would be fun trying.

What new stuff do you have coming for it?

 

15 x 6.5 Rota Torque, Gold
Falken Azenis RT-615

Should hopefully be a big step up from the stock Potenza RE92's.

After that I'll pick up a rear sway bar, and then depending on how flush the rear wheels are with the fender, maybe some of those hub spacers from One Tone Garage.

An LSD would be really nice but is way outside my budget,haha.

I kind of wish I would have bought GC coilovers instead of what I have, but I can always reuse my Koni's and buy the sleeves and springs if I want. Ah well.

 

RT-615's are great, the next best thing to a full blown race tire.

What class are you in?

 

The group I run with is a NASA-X group. I want to say I'm in Class H but I'm really not too sure,haha.

As far as SCCA class, I have no clue where I'd run.

 

I understand, I don't know jack about the NASA classes. Before your springs and wider wheels you would have been in HS. Now you would be up against some serious cars if you were in SCCA.

 

Yeah? Hmm..that's pretty lame. NASA classing is pretty nice because it just assigns points for certian modifications, like new springs, shocks, etc. Adding 15 points bumps you up a class, and you can keep getting bumped up if you add enough stuff.


Either way I'm not too worried about competetiveness. I just want to learn to drive fast and beat some cars doing it

 

I don't know much about the NASA classing, but I know enough to know I like it more than the SCCA.

I one of the few people that think the xA can be very good in one or more classes. But regardless it is a great car to drive, and a lot of people would think I'm crazy but it's a fun car to drive fast. You should have a fun time with it.

 

I definatly do. Especially after the springs and shocks I put on. The tires should help even moreso.

I'm not sure how well the xA can due since the class it is in , in NASA, has cars that very rarely ever compete. So, it's hard to compare.

 

Are you a deftones fan?

 

haha, yeah. Well, I used to be, but not so much now. But their music, especially the stuff from theur first two albums, still holds a special spot in my heart.

 

Yeah me too, it was adrenaline was my first concert and they were my first real favorite band.
