my fren told me bout this autocross thing, currently im driving a 1.6 wira auto but changed my engine to 1.8 soch 4g93 cuz my old engine koyak ledi. Everything else is still same which is the 1.6 wira specs except my engine only. can i participate in this autocross event? what qualification do i need? Will people laugh at my car inside the same category? Are there any website showing the latest upcoming events for this autocross thing?

Currently 3 autocross events are held in Malaysia for 2005.

1) You can go here in the soon to come event http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/grassracingautoclub/?yguid=224479889

2)Or you can go here http://groups.msn.com/racerallyresearch/sso2dot5klangvalley.msnw for the StreetShootOut series, where the next one's on 26 June, named SSO2dot5. Not sure if the registration is closed but u gotta contact Adian.

3) The KKS Autocross that will be held next weekend in Shah Alam. Search under the same name in this forum.

Autocross is for everyone, as long as you've got the enthusiasm. Your current specs of your car is definitely not a problem. Just register your engine capacity in the events that you want to participate and the officials will qualify you in the respective classes. So it doesn't matter what car u drive, be it auto or manual. To qualify u basically need a car (at least with a roadtax) and a driving license. Dont forget to bring a helmet too.

whoever laugh at u for having SOHC 1.8 in the competition will laugh last
coz there's a stock wira 1.6 SOHC champ in m'sia (for his category)
prolly i'd laugh at u for getting SOHC when u can get DOHC
but thats not the point
the point is...skills is wat important

 

[chocobo]

thanks everyone for the information.. i think i'll go check out how does this event thing works 1st before i try on it LOL.. i hope its not that costly just to go see see the event?
err i got the SOHC cuz didnt plan to mod this car into a monster.. btw, if i got a DOHC, i think i need to change other stuff as well? cuz everything is still the standard 1.6 wira (auto) specs.. :(
skill wise, i think im still a newbie (21 yrs old only) and im really interested in improving my skills but just dont know how until 1 of my fren suggested this event to me :)
anyway, thanks every1 for the support! haha.. i'll be checking out this topic more often to know more bout the upcoming events!

Actuall, the younger you are, the faster you will learn to drive competitvely. There was a participant in the KKS autocross, 16years old, no driving license yet, but managed to come in 2nd in the Lotus category. He picked up the right techniques from the other drivers and applied it, becoming faster in each succeeding run. Older drivers, tend to be faster after each event... so.. if you are 21 years old, you are the correct age to start autocrossing.

SSO stands for Street Shoot Out, an autocross event organized by Proton R3 division, to promote grassroots motorsports in the country. Grassroots motorsports are comparatively cheap events, in terms of competitors run-what-you-brung. Can be a kancil, or ferrari, does not matter. What matters is that you enjoy yourselves at the event.

2.0 turbo wira, you will be put into the Turbo/Open class, with competition from Subaru WRXs, and Mitsu Evos.

Prizes? WHat prizes? You get a trophy, and satisfaction of seeing Adian in his sexy shorts!

Number of competitors in the Turbo class, number about 6 competitors.
