Anyone auto crossing their P5 or MP3 ??

I did autocross P5. I liked the fel of the car. I did not push it-I had it only for 2 weeks, so I got beaten by Chrysler K-car wagon.
I would say that moderate drop, bigger rear sway bar, more agressive alignment and good rubber will make it competitive and compensate for the lack of power.

My friend said that she wiuld take her P5 auto-xing twice now I call her at noon from the race and she's just getting out of bed.
next year I'll get her out there and I'll try that car on a fun run.

 

Jacksonville had an auto-X last month...it was my first. 3 type R's beat me by just a hair (1.5 sec). The handling is great, but I need more power. I think when I get an adjustable suspension system w/ springs I'll be abel to slay the type-R's.

how in the world are you gonna beat a Type R in an MP5, MP5s are so underpowered, im nto a hater, i have an MP5 too.

 

it's auto-xing, being a good driver is what counts the most, that's how......

 

I know a few weeks ago I found a video of this "DJ Lomax" guy autocrossing his Yellow P5.. it was posted on one of the Protege boards (maybe the Yahoo group?) But at the moment it's eluding me...

What class were you in? I don't think you should be in the same as the R type.

 

I forget the name of the class but it is just above stock class, due to my CAI.

I almost beat the type-r's because like the guy said...it's all about the driving...I didn't get over 2nd gear...tight little course, but fun!

 

I never get over 2nd gear. I think they make them tight to hold done the speeds. You might have been in FSP.

 

Maybe...I can find out by looking at the SCCA site (Bucaneer region).

 

I've been autocrossing all summer long in my 2000 se protege. It was a complete blast. The car was awesome.
