    • It would be cool to see a video from back then and then get a video of you autocrossing it now to show the difference. What are you running for suspension currently?

      • I'll try to get that vid up. I haven't autocrossed it since the local one quit happening. I'm sure it would handle better but with all the extra power it would definitely be more of a handful on that short of a track.

        Right now its kyb's and fms springs. And top secret bushings lol.

          Those shifter karts are the ultimate. Is that an 80cc?

                  If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

                  • Didn't even come close to a rollover this time. I put toyo proxes r888 track tires on the car ran an inch lower all the way around and used 175# rear springs. The amount of grip I had made even the race prepped Miata drivers drop their jaws as tweak pulled away. The best part though was pushing a Ferrari 430 driver so hard he couldn't maintain his line! Lol

                      • Here is tweak with her R888s and new suspension settings. She also has an aspire swap now, rather than the Capri swap she had before ( couldn't fit 13" wheels over the Capri swap and couldn't fit any bigger race tire under the car).

                              • Okay, here is a short video of how a Festiva compares to a Ferrari F430 Scuderia on a road coarse. This was my first time ever on this track and I was still learning my lines, brake points and how to use the toyo proxes r888 tires. By the end of the weekend, I had shaved over 6 seconds off the lap times that I was putting down in this video.
