My 1st scca autox was sunday. and omg.. that was amazingly fun. i have a huge list of things to work on. my main problem right now is being to quick on the throttle and i end up oversteering extremely bad. Idk why my car is doing this. but with the open diff i have, everytime a try any type of acceling during a turn my car steps out instantly like it has a welded diff. Somebody was telling me i may want to try to run with out my sway bar. but idk yet.

I dont think im gonna make any changes to the car untill i can drive it how it is. then i will start to make changes as needed. but here are some pics.

thanks for the complements. and yea 32 car novice field is huge. i have a drift events on the 3rd and after that im gonna start saving for a good set of autox tires. im having really bad traction problems. and even with my open diff i end up drifting all the turns.. would taking out the rear sway bar help at all??

It should help you. It's easy to try. Just unhook one side of it, and leave the bar installed on the car.

I had a blast at my first event. Although, I killed my chassis and had to replace the car. Definitely going back for more.

I don't know exactly how it happened but I developed a crack on my passenger side inner fender well that spread to my frame and around my strut tower. Pretty much had a 1 1/2 gap between my strut tower and frame. It was a freak accident. I can post pictures later.

Just bought a new car 240 to rebuild.
