Official Midwest Auto-X thread

so, i went to check out the autoxing on saturday guys. It was a bmw club. They had some weird stuff going on. It was small portions of a whole track. i think there was like 4 sections in total. Looked the the objective was to get throught the section and then finish by breaking and not crossing some specific cones. Reminded me of grand turismo auto cross. the track was also wet. they had a truck out there spray water.

No way, that's crazy,

I thought CVO was out there, that's what Chris told me.

my best time was a 57.

my tires looked chewed at the end of the day, but man, those are good tires.

it was bad ass man. i liked it. i was sweating like crazy too, my intire shirt was soaked, and
my head looked like i dipped in water, it was all sweat.


how did you do shane?

there wasn't that many cars there on saturday.

i ran 18 times.
what time did you get arrive and leave? did you guys hang out with Anfry?

 

[hooked_on4]

never made it......trouble w/the timing belt gotta take it to a shop to fix it, sooooooooooo bummed.............

 

[Hecz]

damn. what went wrong with it?

 

[hooked_on4]

Put everything back together feelin good, refilled the coolant, then Bam something's leaking near the water pump. Even more awesomely I snapped a bolt off the crankshaft when tightening it back on so even if we wanted to do the entire job again we couldn't........

Leaks coolant when driving i made it home it's not massive but deff leaks......... Now I gotta decide if I'm takin it to Mazda or a local shop........

damn that's a good time the fastest car out there yesterday was the black e36 m3 and his runnning 1:08 or lower i'm guessing you guys have a different course layout than ours. and yesterday was a beautiful day we have a cool breeze constantly, we only ran 10 times for the whole day though

 

[Hecz]

Shane, sounds like a gasket/seal. i personally wouldn't go to Mazda. I have a feeling maintenance shop would charge you less. Unless your want to tackle the job yourself again, i'm donw to help you.

damn, i got video, but don;t have time to convert and upload right now.

damn that suck shane no wonder you never answered my phone calls yesterday. should have adam helped you with the timing belt

ehh to be honest, Adam was charging what Mazda would of and I got this help for free so I guess if I have Mazda do it now I'm not really out anything...........

We think it's one bolt that wasn't tightened all the way, we can feel it now w/everything on it but it's damn near impossible to get a wrench wedged into it w/o dismantling everything.........

 

[somejaykid]
