Yet another AutoX winner in our midst

me!

Today I sealed the deal and took Class I in Boston BMWCCA.
I guess I get a trophy at the awards dinner in a couple weeks.

Now I need to practice more and go for a REAL (scca) title...
Either way, I will take the win and smile

And don't go past page 24, where the pics repeat. KC pointed it out first, behold the masterful display of thumbnail generating prowess!

Wow you wouldn't think you could autoX with such a laggy turbo.

Congrats Dave, did you have to make any adjustments to your driving style with the new clutch?

yeah very laggy lol. It actually feels less laggy than stock. I am NEVER waiting for boost on the course. And yes one adjustment becasue of the clutch. If you were to hand me a big budget and say "build a WRX autoX monster", the first thing I would do would be find a good deal on a VF22.
I launch like a madman. I got several compliments on my 4 wheels of smoke launch on my one run. It was a plesent change smelling burnt rubber off the line instead of clutch. (no, I didnt DROP it, I used the V6turboTA launch method)

I was also less than 1 sec behind a VERY nasty looking black Porsche (the sick one from those pics) I am gonna try to con the guy into letting me take it for a run next year

V6 launch= rev it hard, let clutch up till it JUST catches, then release it FAST(but not dmup) Thats how he explained it to me, and it seems to work well.

TurboXS stage 4
Utec
TMIC
VF22
STI injects
Walbro pump
full catless exh (uppy and turbo back)
LOUD but free flowing muffler (BPM twister)

309whp
