Hopefully the 31st I will pop my autocross cherry.
 In my corolla, I can run up to about 55 in 2nd gear, no 3rd or 4th, it might be interesting.haha -------------------- JDM guy made me do it.

You know shouldn't do it. You also know you want to. That's why you posted this. Autocross is not that bad on a car, but things happen. You are pushing the suspension to the max, and the engine, and driving train. If anything is close to failing, it will fail. That's why it's not bad to do it when you're keeping your car, because you know it would have broken whatever sooner or later and it needed fixed. But for a car you are selling, it has the potential to suck up some money real fast. From someone who sold cars and still autocrosses, I wouldn't do it.

Can't use a 50 tread wear in any Street Tire (ST) class. I hope you have something else to put them on if you plan on running an STS Celica. -------------------- Live Free, Be Happy

car is back to stock and I will be using the stock 15" wheels and use the V700 which I can use slicks on..
I was only in STS because of my 16x7 BBS. This post has been edited by jdg371: Mar 11, 2007 - 2:08 PM |
