Which Helmet should I get?
I'm getting more serious about the AutoX so I want to get my own helmet. I'm sick of using the crusty loaners. Any reccomendations on a good helmet that isn't too pricey? TIA

Try Bell/Pyrotect in Oakland, CA. They have a special on some open face helmets for $139 because the inner liner color was incorrect. Instead of Black on black or white on black, they have burgundy interiors. I picked one up as well as my co-worker. Nothing wrong with them.

www.racerwholesale.com has M2000 helmets that are great for autocross for under $100 shipped.

edit: it's coming out to more like $120 shipped, but that's still pretty good

I'd recommend you get SA rated not M - it wont matter for autocross, but if you ever do more (track your car) you'll most likely need an SA helmet. I believe the difference is in fire protection, but I'm not really sure. - I got my helmet at the bell warehouse in oakland as well, though it wasn't a "defective" one - they didn't have any when I went there 
I just picked up an Open Face SA2000 helmet from racerwhole sale. $160 shipped. I haven't used it yet, but I did a test fit and its good.

It should be perfect for Auto-X and the occasional track day.
