Late to the car game

You really need to autoX your WRX its a hoot they have a tendancy to understeer but thats ok. and a car as heavy as a WRX or a forester will kill tires very quickly so a dedicate set of wheels and tires are a very good idea! but as far as what JCH13 was referencing i beat all the WRX and all but 2 STi in autoX with Jlee's bone stock Forester XT on 700+ treadware tires talk about a riot! so take your car and have a great time!

Ask Black2NA what you can manage with all-seasons :awe:



Or this ^^

I did electric carting once. It sucked, frankly, because the battery pack in my car was shit. It shut off before I crossed the finish line in a very short race. You'll have a riot autoxing your WRX, good tires or not.

Yea we were sure to show up early to get the fresh batteries.

Yea mostly everyone is worried that it is going to suck. I have hope and think it will probably be a good car, but will most likely lose the original intended spirit.

I was just thinking about it on the ride to work this morning, and how I'd deal with the understeer heh I'm starting to get inspired to do it though!

I just don't like the delay in the throttle on electric karts.. atleast the K1 by me had a delay. Made for throttle manipulation very hard to do compared to the gas karts I'm used to.

I like the "access to SRT engineers". Everything I have seen has always been "no there are no plans to give anyone access to the ECU for the 6.4L engine". Some of the info is good, but it seems to get dominated by that question. Maybe my view is just biased though?

The only thing I didn't like was that the motor would cut off if you used brake/throttle, otherwise the throttle response was fine.

Must be the karts that I was using then. I'd step on the throttle and it'd be a good half second to one second before it started moving.

Well it's been raining here so I can't take it out. There are pics of it in the garage forum somewhere. I made a thread.

edit: hmm or the thread vanished after a while. I'll try to attach pics today.

The pics are blocked so hopefully they work:

Pictured next to the hovercraft I'm building.
