So my first ever Solo II is this Saturday. My excitedness is killing me! Today I put on the steelies, for henceforth they shall be known as my track tires. I am a total newb at autoX, i have never even been to one, so we'll see how this goes. I'm so worried I'm not gonna be able to remember the course and make a total *** out of myself.

While they are off, I will be painting them. Most likely bronze, but maybe black with a silver lip or white. I'm gonna use bondo to get rid of all the scratches on em. They look like the previous owner took a grinder to them.



Just look at the ugliness.


I gave her a bath today though.

 

nice man! good luck at the event! and on another note, get some coilovers!! it should make it look 777x better and lower your times at future events!

 

painted steelies are dope to the max. paint them white for ultimate dopeness. will look super cool with a red car.

 

good luck Ry let us know how it goes

 

haha dont expect good times with a stock 240 but none the less it still hella fun. ive gone to 2 events and the first one i got 2nd to last place and the second event i placed the same haha. when my coils come in i expect getting decent times. mabey place in my class if theres a bunch of other noobs out there too, lol. but yea have fun, autox is a blast.

 

I am getting coilovers this summer. I have the money but I want to get the KA-T out of the way first. I know suspension > turbo but I just couldnt help myself.

I meant I was painting those ghey-to-the-max American Racing wheels that came with the car. I never thought about painting the steelies. Maybe I will paint them white lol.

 

woot woot.

 

painted steelies are awesome

 

i been doing auto-x in my s14 with a stock KA and open diff for a long time saw how much better my car handled after suspension parts went on it was cool.

now i have a SR and lsd but i havnt been to an Auto-x since my KA took a **** i wana go soon but i want to make sure my sr is running right.

anyway its your first time dont worry about times just have fun thats the most important part!

 

Remember to walk the course at least twice.

 

or just do a burnout, give everyone the finger and leave.

 

Dude ruiz WTF man. Are you high? Still made me laugh pretty hard though.

 

lol ruiz is high as a kite lol

 

hahaha... ruiz needs to lay off the bongage before posting.

 

+1 for the looks, lowered 240's look very, VERY nice!

I'm going to have to disagree with you on improving his LTs. It would be relative. A set of pro-rate springs and nice struts would help more than a coil over set would.
