i have a trek 4700 that i love to ride although, it's not built for road race. Looking for a decent road bike so i can enter a mini-triathlon some time soon. here in ptc there are road bikers allover the place and it looks like a good time. few mtn bike trails here are a challenge but, not to tuff.

 

[420Coupe]

Any specific reason why doing it the weekend after 8thcivic ?
shouldnt the 2 be on the same weekend great way to spread info/news and meet a ton of new people as well as have a much larger crowd show up.

I have an old Trek 6000, Ryan has a Schwinn Mesa GSX Aluminum, and Bailey has a 24" Gary Fisher. We had started riding at Dauset Trails, but then I got sick. I still haven't felt up to it yet, but hope to get back soon. I could probably do the easy trail, but it would be difficult.
It is on private property, and they keep it maintained by donations and volunteers.

I guess it just depends on what type of people/crowd you prefer to hang out/drive with.

Don't get me wrong i Fawking hate 8th and half the trolls on there but I'd want to go to meet the boosted R18's

I have the Si driving better again. Installing the RSB, and adding a little camber to the front made a big difference. The brake fluid was nasty, and took a while to bleed with my vacuum bleeder. I think my next purchase will be a pressure bleeder. Seems like it would be a lot less messy, and much faster. Brakes are good again too.

Hopefully we can make the N GA run soon. What do you think about the 14th, E.T.? I can't do the 21st, b/c it is my 15 year anniversary. It would have to be after the 21st, if not next week.

Back in the day 8th Civic was awesome. I'm talking back in 2006 when I joined (then I went away when I bought my Subaru) then I came back in late 2007/early 2008 and it was awesome. Then it went to ****.

Because the sites are owned by two different owners who do not share the same views. This is the easiest way..

Gotcha. How bad was the 8th gen for AutoX ? thinking of taking my coupe there once i take the 1/4 tittle

 

[Nix]

New guys like me showed up and made it bad. hahaha that's what I hear anyway.

 

[KennyGS]

The 8th site is dead to me.

 

[420Coupe]

have they sanded the roads yet to wash off the salt?

 

[death_roll]

Having the two meets together would be disasterous, for obvious reasons. Sometimes a larger crowd isn't always better.

8th gen does well in autox. I have only autox'd mine once, but it did well. You just need some negative camber in the front, a RSB or just being stock isn't bad either. It just pushes when stock and won't let you get the back around.
I have only autox'd once and had to run with the novice class, but was only off the other 8th gens by a second or so. I only had HFP suspension, with a little negative camber in the front with stock sways.

not bad i know the 4dr chasis has wayyyyy better weight distribution i believe its even 50/50 where the coupe is 60/40 i believe if not worse.

 

[webby]

you realize the car is 1.8" difference in overall length between sedan/coupe (8th)? Weight distribution is not that different
