Hey guys. Today I had my first ever autocross event. This was my first experience doing any type of tracking. It was very nerve racking because my friends ended up being in the afternoon session, where as I ended up in the morning session. Thankfully everyone was so open to sharing info and giving me pointers throughout the session. Once things got going it was tons of fun. I was able to get in about 8 runs or so, which I was told was a lot of seat time. Really cool environment and experience. I look forward making it out to more and seeing how much further I can take my skills and what more I can learn about the car.
P.S. Cone duty sucks, mainly for my feet and my back aha.
Currently my cars mods are
Flex-fuel E30mix
Hondata
Rv6 front/down pipe
Hks legamax exhaust
Rv6 camber arms
Rv6 lower control arms
Te37 time attack saga 18x9.5 +45
Firestone Indy 500 255/35/18
Cusco front/mid/rear brace
Spoon ridgid Collars
Tuned on a basemap.
Few questions about tracking. Is a hondata basemap okay for tracking? I know a custom tune is ideal but at the moment I’m just on a basemap. They are meant to be somewhat conservative and more so to just get you by, but what if it’s being raced “hard” on the tune. Are there things I should be concerned about if tracking on a base map?
I did turn off VSA, but was curious whether i should turn off or on (forgot which it was) cruise control for hondata’s traction control too. And if any, any other driving assistance I should know know about turning off.
Last thing, I saw a lot of people running potenzas. What’s your ideal summer tire for a good balance of street and track. Long lasting is a plus!
You guys are welcome to throw me any tips or suggestions. Open to learning more and still new to a lot of it.
