Joe are you really a BMXer?


Laughing It's in my roots, but I've traded the 20"s for 26"s. Having full suspension on dirt jumps is a blast haha

I hope you show up so all the DSP class can look at it.

For sure. I'm new at this so I really have no idea what that means, but if it helps class the car I'm all for it.

Hey Joe!

This is Jonathan from the Thunderhill HPDE in the white Mazdaspeed3. Glad to see you've found the forum and that you're gonna make it out to see us.

I'll see you tomorrow.

fyi your mod isn't stu legal so you could've been protested at boondoggle; no street touring class allows a boost mod

I saw a E92 M3 in T1. Since it's an ASP car isn't that T2?

If you're supposed to be in DSP and running street tires you good run in DSP Novice or DSP-T2 (street tire) How did you do out there? I didn't hear any of your times.

Run 1: 44.369
Run 2: 42.606
Run 3: 42.472

The first run is really washed out. I did what I could in post to bring out some detail in the video, but it was too blown out.

You've really gotta think, absorb and apply at a quick pace. It's much different than a track day where you have 5-6 20 minute sessions to think about and work on a technique. AutoX it's a fast pace and there is a ton of information to take in and think about, while only having a short amount of time between runs to apply what has been learned. It's definitely a great skill to possess that's going to take time to master. Can't wait for the next event!

thanks joe for clarifying offline that the mod doesn't directly change boost; it's stx/stu legal so you can ignore my above posts based on outdated info =)

Laughing thank's for making me bite my nails as I was scouring to find those threads!

For everybody else, here's what I found:
http://www.cobaltss.net/forums/showthread.php?t=198738

and specifically this post:
http://www.cobaltss.net/forums/showpost.php?p=4537797&po stcount=20

The most important line being this

Cobaltss.net

Once more, our flash doesn't 'control' the boost, it changes air and fuel flow. If those changes 'incidentally' cause the boost to rise under certain circumstantes, then it's OK.


And for a bit of explination on the Stage 1:
