Re: Crossfire autocross build for DS
I just got home from a regional event today. The course was just over 40 seconds for the fastest guys. My first event with the Konis at all four corners and a AMG/SRT front bar with delrin bushings. The car handled beautifully, though I can't say that about my driving. My raw times were easily fast enough to win the class but all of my five runs were marred with cones. I ended up 3rd out of 5 about 1.1 second out of the lead and that includes the 2 second penalty I had for hitting a cone on my run. All in all I am thrilled with the car and just need to get used to a car that is much wider than the Miata. I kept hitting cones with the rear tires. The course heavily favored a car like the Mini Cooper or a modified Miata/Civic. Very slalom intensive and tight gates. Just figured I would update everyone on how the car is working out. It is proving to be plenty capable. The real test will be in June when I finally make it out to a National event in Washington DC.
