Planning on going. Never Autox before, would this be a good event to start? I assume it's open to non-bmw vehicles.

TMS is the perfect place to start autocrossing. It's not an intimidating site, and it's very easy on tires.

Email me directly in regards to your other questions.

My ABS is still not working !

I got the new pump on and even had to replace a wheel speed sensor and it still has all my lights on it.

Damn, Damn, Damn !

I think it has to be reset from Nissan ?

Scott is off in some exotic country, you're welcome to the G.

I'm guessing after all that work you did reset the ECU?

David 2613, I will be in a Blue 350Z and generally park along the guard rail across the street from the course. Look me up and I'll help you with any questions.

Make sure your car is cleaned out. Remove all trash and floor mats, anything loose that could get under your feet needs to be removed. You can leave the spare tire in or remove it at the parking lot.

This is a short article about how the day will go, just to give you an idea. http://www.s2000.org/nts2koc/autox/Day_in_the_Life.pdf

Be ready for some fun!
See ya Saturday.
Scott

Awesome Scott, Thanks!

Just finished installing the ACT flywheel and clutch last night. I'm running out of time, so I'm going to pay a shop to install the new brake pads today.

Question: My fiancee is coming with me and will be driving separately. Where is the best place for us to park and watch the day's events?

Question: I failed to secure a helmet for tomorrow, can I rely on getting to use one of the "loaner" helmets that are often available?
