After getting my car back from the head gasket replacement I’ve managed two autocross events so far this month.

Kinja'd!!!

Since I live in the Austin area, I usually run with both the Austin and San Antonio autocross clubs, but I have friends who run with one of the clubs in the DFW area. I went to the August 4th event with Equipe Rapide (autocross.com)

I didn’t do as well as I would have liked, but it was the first event I hit up after getting the car back from the shop, so I’ll take just participating as a win.

After leaving the venue I gasses the car up at a local Racetrack station. Once I hit the highway I noticed some negative ignition corrections on my Cobb Access Port along with a slip in gas quality. Yes I monitor this stuff... It took a week to get the bad gas out of the tank.

On a close topic, would a Lexus IS200 first gen be a terrible track day car?

We didn’t get the IS200 in the states, but yeah, I would think it would do OK at autocross or track days. Straight 6, rear wheel drive...

W get the is200t in the states, it is a woefully underpowered 4 cylinder sedan. Very very little weight savings compared to the is300/is350
