Street racing.

Man, now that I have my coilovers/rims/exhaust on, seems abunch of people want to race me! This oldschool carolla pulled up next to me and didn't rev or punch it from the start, but then we kept going and all of sudden he floors it! I just let him go.

I am still waiting for my chance to see a exterior modded honda fit so I can see if they want to go at it.

Other than that all I see are wrx and 350z and I can't even think about lining up next to them.

Maybe once I get my intake manifold on I'll be able to add more cars to my list that I could "race." So far it's fits/aveos/rios. ahahaha


ps. I am not talkin about how I've street raced anyone, just saying how I wouldn't actually be able to race anyone if i wanted to!

If you really want to get the racing bug, sign up for the next autocross. The link just happens to be from bimmerforums but the autocross is for all cars.

I'm more into the straight line. Auto x doesn't seem like my thing. But I should see what these cusco coilovers can really do! ;)

Just put on a sway bar and you'll want to carve some corners at high speeds. Where else could you do that to the limits of yourself and your car safely.

Anyone can go straight.

it's kind of like the yaris is made for the autocross or something. It's an amazing car in the corners. Can't wait for the next one around here. too bad it's the last one of the season.
